Works great just too much work getting it where I wanted it to be. syswayne

We modified the instructions to make the calibration piece a little easier.....

Thanks for your input,

Jim

Here are the latest calibration instructions that should clear up the confusion with calibration.

Never a waste of money, because if it does not work as we advertised we just give you a refund

I have a question, what if I have a front splitter, can it still be mounted? I guess in the gap above the splitter right?

You car is a prime Curb Alert candidate. The sensor mounts with double sided tape, so any flat surface will work (as long as it has a clear view of the street in front).

Does it have to be positioned at the centr of the car or can it be to the side a bit. I woul like to get one and mount in the grill but am in a front license plate state where the middle part o my grill is blocked.
