Right. I’ll see what I can find when I can get a better look under there.

Thanks. I had my wife watch as I pulled up right to the front of the garage. She stopped me just before the wall. No beeps. So it’s certainly not sensing out the front.
Ill update when I can get a look under everything.
The install looks just like in the instructions.

No, I think it’s the curb alert for sure. I was only on straights. Not taking a curve at 107.

There are options that might work to replace the curb alert. My past reading on here says the CA will go out of calibration often and go bonkers with the beeps.

Just remove it. They are junk.

The difference between post 46 and 47 is "tact", One says it nicely the other post leaves the juglar exposed and ripped open.


I agree with the "remove" part as the CA is high maintenance to keep in calibration.
