Installation Guide

6 7
Front Radar Receiver (Continued)
5 Find a suitable entry point into the vehicle’s
interior. Refer to the Installation Tips section.
6 Feed the harness into the vehicle’s interior
and to the Interface. Plug into the connector
labeled “Front Receiver.”
7 If entering through a drilled hole, pull the
grommet on the harness until the end sticks
through the hole. From inside the vehicle, pull
grommet through until it seals against the
outer surface.
ShifterMax Bridge Box*
(optional)
1 The Bridge Box is weatherproof. To limit the
number of cables routed through the firewall,
we recommend installing the Bridge Box
inside of the engine compartment.
2 Slide the included heatshrink onto the
Bridge Box Interface cable then plug into the
cable extending from the Bridge Box labeled
“Interface” and route the cable toward the
interior of the vehicle. Shrink the heatshrink
onto the inline connector and secure the cable
with zip-ties. Although waterproof, it is best to
locate the inline connector in a dry area
protected from moving parts, road debris, and
hot surfaces such as the radiator and radiator
hoses.

Front Laser ShifterMax
Sensors* (optional)
Positioning Sensors
Install each sensor halfway between the side
and the center of the vehicle.
For optimal performance sensors need to be
completely unobstructed, not behind a grille,
level and facing straight forward (rearward if
installing optional rear sensors*). Make sure
that each sensor is parallel with the road
(using supplied bubble level).
Note:
Vehicle must be positioned on a flat surface
in order to position sensors parallel with the
road. Make sure that sensors have an
unobstructed “view” of the road so the unit
can function properly. Do not install sensors
behind a solid surface, which would block
laser transmission/reception.
Interface
1 Install the Interface under the dash using
supplied zip-ties.
Note:
Do not mount Interface inside vehicle’s
engine compartment!
2 Connect black wire (-) to ground, and
red-striped wire (+) to a switched 12-volt
supply. (If ESCORT MAX Ci is left in the “on”
position, it will automatically power on and off
with the ignition).
3 Front Radar Receiver, ShifterMax Bridge Box,
Display and Control Modules, GPS Antenna,
Concealed Alert LED, Radio Mute Cable, and
Rear Radar Receiver all plug into the Interface.
4 It is recommended that after the Interface is
installed and connected to power, all other
components are plugged in and tested for
proper operation before completing the
installation.
IMPORTANT! When using optional Rear
ShifterMax sensors* ensure DIP switches 3
and 4 are moved down to the REAR
SHIFTER position. See the Interface
illustration on pg 9.
* included with ESCORT MAX Ci 360
Front Radar Receiver White Stripe
1 Determine the best location for the Radar
Receiver. The best location is typically under
the bumper or inside the front grille of the
vehicle. For the best radar performance install
the Radar Receiver flat, horizontally, not on its
side.
2 The included adjustable mounting clamps
can be used to easily secure the Radar Receiver
to the slats in a grille or the edge of an opening.
• To tighten clamp jaws, insert a 9/64” hex
key into the screw on the front of each
clamp and turn clockwise.
• To adjust the angle and remove the clamps,
use the screw on the side of each clamp.
3 Alternatively, you can use the supplied
U-shaped and right-angle mounting brackets.
Mark the mounting location and drill pilot holes
in the vehicle if necessary. It is recommended
that the Radar Receiver is secured to the
brackets first, and then mount the Receiver and
brackets assembly to the vehicle.
4 Slide the heatshrink onto the Radar Receiver
cable then plug into the harness and route the
cable toward the interior of the vehicle. Shrink
the heatshrink onto the inline connector and
secure the cable with zip-ties. Although
waterproof, it is best to locate the inline
connector in a dry area protected from moving
parts, road debris, and hot surfaces such as the
radiator and radiator hoses.
