Default Curb Alert

Just got my Curb Alert and would appreciate some suggestions as to where to mount the scanner. All YouTube videos are for C5 and C6 installations which have a ton of room in the upper portion of the grill opening. The C7 does not. Appears is has to be mounted under the front fascia. It suggests you don't mount it too far forward steep driveways may harm it. It appears to me that if you mount it further back under the car it will only detect objects that are actually to low to worry about. Anybody with experience with this??

Yup...There is a natural area to mount. Use the right Sensor bracket, do all the wiring in the engine compartment, and just run the Beeper into the passenger area. Very simple.
