So, for those interested, I did eventually manage to find the sensors. I always knew where the control switch was but I haven't had a chance to remove trims and follow the wiring.

The sensors are located behind the plastic trim covers that sit next to the fog lights, embedded in the front bumper. There's 1 on either side.

Just a heads up - I have installed many laser jammer systems and own a couple of LIDAR guns for testing. That location will not protect you at all - the sensors cannot be installed behind anything that obstructs their field of view.

They should be installed level and where they have a clear FOV of the license plate and headlight areas.

Correct. I put mine level in each other the grilles as close as possible to the headlights. Works like a charm.

Thanks for the heads up but mine has always been switched off.

I'm thinking when I swap my burr wood trims for high gloss black (or piano black), I'll sort everything out at once.

Could always plead ignorance? After all you didn't install it. You didn't know it was there.

Confused. The jammers are installed in the grille. Not the dash. On mine there's an on off button I installed in the trim panned under the steering wheel. I put it in the Crack between that panel and the center console. No holes, invisible , convenient.

Oh and its not illegal for there to be no signs advising of speed traps etc. I like others assumed they had to warn you but they don't.
