Socal member just installed my ALP and V1 in BMW 135i

Hi & Welcome to the Forum.
Rest assured,the AL Priority performs far superior to LI & Blinder parking Sensors, I've owned (& tested all 3 Models).

Regarding your install:
Your V1 location screams "look at me- break my window & steal me" to a thief.
Your Sensor pix is to far recessed which will make you a sitting duck from an Overpass shot. Also, it may be an optical illusion but the Sensor looks pitched upwards 3-4 degrees...that's not good.

I would also move the sensors closer together and use the center area and put sensors in the top right and top left corners.

Also I will be removing the front plate as well.

This will help, but keep in mind that the "White" color of your car is a disadvantage.(especially if it's a "metal flake" White !).

Proper spacing is VERY IMPORTANT, this point was highlighted this very morning when I Tested a Forum member here. I'll save commentary about it for his Thread when he Posts his results. Some Lidars he was ok w/, but 2 others gave him trouble & 1 in particular demolished him like a hot knife thru warm butter !

No worries for the V1, my windows are tinted pretty dark including the windshield with black interior make it hard to see.

Thanks for the advise on the sensors. They are level so must be the pic angle. In CA I have yet to see one shooting from an overpass, always on the side of the road some times using barriers or bushes to hide.

Also just an FYI regarding mounting horizontal and vertical. On a BMW forum a guy has the ALP with one sensor mounted in the grill vertical, says he has had it tested and works with no issues. Thoughts?

He would get chewed up alive with a single sensor. Hopefully when he eventually gets a ticket he does not blame the ALP because you need 2 sensors for any normal size car and they need to be mounted horizontal.
