    Thanks. I don't know if this is a warranted concern (just thinking out loud), but considering I drive a small-med size sedan and there are issues that we're working through, I'm interested to see how bigger cars, let alone trucks, are dealing with this issue. Thankfully it's cheap for me to buy a used grill off of Kijiji so I plan to hack the heck out of this thing to find the ideal placement and then I'll install it on a new used grill so it looks better

    And interesting that you mentioned "pair of tx sensors" in your OP. Wasn't that an idea I was going for on the other forum?

    I'm about to start my rear install today knowing my options are limited and hoping for a best case scenario of being targeted @center mass from a substantial distance.
    I hope in the least I can call it better then nothing.

    If I do test really poorly I have the means to put the TX in the third brake light opposite the end of the trunk button and adding a RX to the tag area.

    Would like to hear your words on it. Thanks

    VERY few cops will target you @ CM from a very far distance when they're shooting your ass. Why? Because they have a HUGE ground to cover in order to catch up to you.

    Hoping for this scenario is not a good idea.

    Having a second RX head will be beneficial and a TX in/or around the center brake light would be ideal, but even this single RX/TX configuration in the license plate has shown to be JTG.

    @angrypenguin

    put a picture of your car up so we can see the placement--I find it hard to believe you are having issues with your 2 reg and 1 TX setup, and you saying you have a small car?

    I have an issue with CM hits only. By definition, the vehicle I drive is a compact sedan. (same size as a Camry in the front end).

    Pls ignore the lines.

    Thanks,

    I agree and have seen all kinds of distances over the years and its all over the place. We will be testing it 9/10.

    Thanks,
    Work in progress here for sure, still routing cables taking and break, don't let the image toss you, they are level and straight.
    Its by no means stealth. And those who know me will tell you I will not stop until its the best it can be. For right now if I had to use bubble gum to stick them on for testing I would.
    Still working on getting the TX backed in a little.

    I got the inside spread to 10.5 inches.

    I have an Infiniti Q50S with 2 RX mounted below the plate and 1 TX at the top of the grill. Tested with Alex at KMPH and was JTG against his newest DE and Truspeed SX, CM and headlights / fog-lights. Previously my dual setup had been JTG against the Truspeed but CM only with PT's on lights with the DE. The TX is very impressive.
