What is the installation method for car radar?
2 Answers
Car radar installation method is: Use an electric drill to distribute four probes on the car, then insert the probes into the trunk and connect them to the corresponding terminals of the main unit. Install it in a place that does not hinder usage, and after securing it in place, connect the power supply to start using it. Car radar is used for automobiles or other ground motor vehicles. It includes various types of radar based on different technologies (such as laser, ultrasonic, microwave) with different functions (such as obstacle detection, collision prediction, adaptive cruise control) and employing different working principles (such as pulse radar, FMCW radar, microwave impact radar).
I just installed a reverse radar on my car last month, and the whole process was quite straightforward. The general steps include determining the installation position on the bumper, marking the drilling points with a marker, drilling holes with the provided drill bit, and then mounting the radar sensors and securing them with double-sided tape. Next is the wiring—running the harness along the interior of the car to the trunk or fuse box and connecting it to the power source and controller. The key is to disconnect the negative battery terminal in advance to prevent short circuits, as the risk of electric shock is high. At first, I drilled the holes crookedly, causing the sensors to tilt and trigger false alarms, but after adjusting the angle, it worked fine. After installation, remember to test and calibrate the distance—it’s much safer now when reversing. Beginners should probably follow a video tutorial step by step instead of rushing like I did.
