Gravity Radar Installation

[newlucidguy]

Great post. Regarding your air installation: were there options to install without removing the bumper? Any pics of that install available? Did the unit interfere with any of the car's sensors? Was considering having it done but if it involves the bumper being removed and re-calibration of lidar, that's pretty involved.

Here are some pictures of the Air installation from back in 2022:

Thread 'Radenso Radar / Laser Installation'

Mar 2, 2022

We've been having a discussion about radar installation in the Lucid Air under the "Safety Recall" thread (my fault, I admit). So I thought we should start a thread specific to this topic.

I picked up our car today after a 7-day installation job. The car was returned in perfect condition near as I can tell -- no squeaks, rattles, panel misalignments -- despite significant portions of the front and rear ends and the under-dash panels having been removed.

There were a couple of questions raised under the other thread:

Q: How did the build quality of the Air compare to what the...

The topic was also discussed on some other old threads you can find if you search the term "Radenso".

What I would love to know if the jammer causes any interference with Gravity tech, you might be the first to find out so please do share!

We have some software issues in the car, but nothing new since the radar install.

One oddity I noticed today, though: I bought non-polarized sunglasses in order to see the HUD, but I cannot see the Uniden display mounted in the mirror unless I take them off or switch to polarized sunglasses. I'm utterly mystified why I can see the display with polarized lenses but not with non-polarized lenses. All I can figure is that putting the display behind the mirror glass has something to do with it, but I don't know why that would be the case.

But I rely mainly on the audio alerts to know I'm being hit by radar or lasers, and the Uniden audio tells me the type of signal, the direction, and the strength of the signal. If I want to see more detail (which I usually don't), I just pull the sunglasses down my nose for a moment.

I guess I've learned that a key question for an installer is whether or not they have a 3D printer in their shop.

It really does create a lot of more choice about where to mount components.

A 3D printer was also used to create a custom mount of the Radenso radar display in our Air:
