Googling around I found this brochure.

Absolutely fantastic. Been trying to find this for a few days. Thanks man!

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.

Do not forget about my comments concerning the alignment issue I pointed out to you regarding the 2 'outer' Transponders !

Yup. Noted - not only am I dealing with that I'm getting a new grill because I'm tired of the painful install issues with the tx

Go big or go home, as they say

How do you measure if the Tx is above the horizontal plane of the other two sensors by 6-7"? For example, would it be fine if each of the 7.5" gaps in the original diagram were instead 10" (so 25.5" horizontally instead of 20.5") and the Tx was 6-7" above the horizontal plane of the other two sensors. Thanks.

We have been talking with many customers with TX Sensors and discussing test results and one think is becoming clear... When sensors are mounted overall more than 30" apart it is creating some center issues. When using TX Sensors the Maximum distance from sensor to sensor can not exceed 30" Recommended spacing is closer to 24-26"

I am about to order some of these, but just to confirm, are you stating the maximum distance between each sensor as stated as between F1 and F3, or between F1 and F2 "TX"???

He is referring to F1 and F3. The maximum distance should be less than 30"

Best performance is around 23-26"

Thanks for the reply, but what happens if the distance is around 33 inches between F1 and F3 with TX at F2? Punch through at center of mass? If the distance is brought within the specs laid out, then what about the headlamps on the outer edge of the vehicle that are vulnerable now? Almost sounds to me like we need to be able to keep all three receiver sensors and add the TX above or below F2 with the splitter version TX. Will this not work? Please advise.

You may not want to wander outside the recommendations. I'm not sure if the Dragon Eye's beam pattern spec of 30" @1000' is a factor but........... I feel your concern though. The install on my charger was a pain as can be with most cars. Good luck.

On the diagonal would be a longer distance than measuring between them if all were on the same Horiz. plane & staying within the recommended spacing.
