Method for installing a car radar: 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 to start using it. When wiring the car radar, you can route the wires under the car seat. Remove the car floor mat to plug in the display interface of the main unit. A common function of car radars is collision avoidance radar, which can measure potential hazardous obstacles on the road ahead that may cause a collision based on the vehicle's current direction and speed. However, if the distance is too short or the speed is too high, misjudgments may occur. When the radar detects the car approaching an obstacle, an alert sound will be emitted inside the car to assist the driver in making driving decisions.
Actually, installing a car radar depends on your technical skills. I recommend preparing a toolkit first, including a specialized hole punch, wire strippers, insulating tape, and a multimeter. The first step is to determine the sensor positions, usually about 60 cm above the ground on the front and rear bumpers. Use a ruler to measure accurately to avoid misalignment. When drilling holes, go slowly—start with a small drill bit for a pilot hole before enlarging it, otherwise, the paint may crack. The second step, wiring, is crucial. You’ll need to remove the plastic body panels to route the wires discreetly. Connect the power to the reverse light or ACC line, and always use a multimeter to confirm the positive and negative terminals. Finally, secure the display position and test the sensitivity. Remember to protect the sensors from water on rainy days. The whole process can take as little as two hours, but beginners should consider getting a helper to hold the bumper steady.
