I've a 2013 white ford flex and I would like some advice of how many head needed for the front and what the best location for the back. The license sit very low and I'm not sure that it will be the best place.

On SUV's I would always go with 3 in the front and 2 in the rear if you want both front and rear protection.

Hope these are helpful. It's a 2013 Ford Flex. I went to the last RALETC meet up and the front set up tested quite well despite all the chrome. The rear was producing multiple punch throughs however, the heads were NOT even close to level. They have subsequently been properly aligned and they seem to be pretty solid against an LTI Truspeed. Also, don't forget to remove the high mounted brake light and paint the lens with some veil. It's a week spot. The back of the Flex is tough, not really a lot of great mounting choices. I haven't gotten around to it but with a vehicle like my limited with all that chrome I'm going to be augmenting the ALP with some VEIL both front and rear.

Thanks itwasntme. How's the radar receiver treating you. It look kinda low. I wish the mfg can make a laser jammer that you can drill a hole and have a adjustable len for levelness. It will make it a whole lot easier for the install.

Stir Plus receiver will beat my V1 on off axis Ka detection most of the time, often by a substantial amount. This is true particularly when there has been seasonal defoliation. There have been times in hilly terrain or when blocked by a center median "jersey wall," that detection ranges have dropped significantly versus my v1 due to the low mount I/M/O.
