Has anyone installed a Curb Alert? If so, how well does it work and was the install as easy as it looks on video?

I had it on my 2014. Easy install but takes a bit to get the proper angle calibration. Don't need it now that my 2019 has front cameras.

I had one installed on my '15 till it broke. It did not work well at all if you approach something at an angle. I replaced it with a camera and never looked back. Search for Navtool although I went a different route.

Installed one on my 2014. Install was super easy, just follow the
on the Southern Car Parts web site. Only difficult part was selecting the correct location because I have a front splitter installed. It works great but I do get some beeps on dips in the road. Just be aware that you will need to readjust it if it gets bumped by road debris or a scrape on a driveway or speed bump. All that said, I still back in if at all possible.
