Here is my BEL remote install with laser block modules. What I'd like to get your input on is location of a rear sensor. I installed it onto a rear license plate frame, but it just spoils that consealed look idea - did anybody try installing radar sensor on a rear deck shelf inside the cabin? If I do this, will this affect radar sensitivity?
I have 20% tint on a rear window.

There will be laser censors/jammers located here, sorry, can't find a pic of them installed. I attached them to the bamper's horisontal part with 2 included bolts for each sensor and then levelled them properly.


Another laser sensor will be attached here:


Now, without having to remove bumber, I just removed 2 screws on top sides of a grill and slightly bowed it out in order to stick a radio frequency sensor behing the grill. I had to cut out some plastic from inside the grill to make room for the sensor. Then removed one clip (pointing my finger) securing hood lock cable and file that hole out a bit - it will be used for mounting the sensor. Drilled a second hole to the right according to a sensor's size. Then ran cable into a cabin trough a firewall - there was an unused grommet in the firewall just around a break pedal if looking from interior.



RF sensor installed:


RF sensor - view from the front. Notice some plastic had to be fremoved from the grill, I used heavy-duty scissors and file for that.


The cables between sensors are routed inside the bumper cover and then via engine compartment to a firewall.

The cables inside the cabin are routed from firewall to
1. a main processing unit and a speaker - I found plenty of space for both directly under the steering wheel inside lower plastic panel
2. Display unit - I put it in an upper compartment below head unit.
3. Fuse panel under left driver's kick panel
4. Rear sensor under driver's side door jamb plastic panels into a trunk (no seat was removed for that), I used fishing wires technique. Once in the trunc area, then cable goes inside a left hinge plastic panel into a trunc lid outside tru a hole which I drilled in the top portion of a license plate area to a rear sensor mounted on a modified license plate frame. The sensor mount uses license plate screws. Very convinient, but I'd like to have a more stealth install! The front of the car has perfectly concealed sensors as well as interior, bet the rear is a different story.. I am open to suggestions here.
Two restrictions here: the rear sensor assembly must be level to a road and have an open view of it (as it has laser sensor inside)


Cabin controls: mute button on the left next to mirro adjustment button
and notice green LED inside a left A/C vent in its upper right corner:



Notice an added feature: the green LED projects onto a windshild (except during the day) and gives my the ability to see it without taking my eyes off the road:


The main control unit housing was fabricated from a plastic elecrical junction box (HomeDepot):


Painted and felted:


It simply slides into compartment and then tightly fitted against these cabinet door self-sticky pads:




Completed view of a main control unit:



I had this radar for 10 months now and I am totally satisfied.
Prior to this BEL, I also had installed BEL remote (older version, no laser sensors) onto my (currently) wife's ride 99 Accord. The new BEL is definitelly a much improved device

 

holy crap! Very nice install - nice stealth and clean.

Excellent job and write-up.

 

Thanks kennyc,

I hope I like my A-spec suspension as much as you do, it's been sitting in my garage for a while now waiting for install next weekend
And since I will be working around rear deck area, I thought I may revisit my rear radar sensor mounting location.
