Hope that helps

So what your saying is make the cut on the right side larger so the IR sensor goes in and then point the remote into the hole to get your line of site?

I don't think having a larger hole size than the light bar would look very clean.

I really think a redesign is in order either move the center over one more LED to the right or mount the ir sensor dead center which seams like that would not be too difficult but IDK.

Just like this guys it does not take an engendering degree to figure it out its not hard. Look at the video and youll get the idea. You do not need to cut a larger hole in order to get it to fit just take your time and use a hair dryer to soften up the plastic and it will slip right in

I had troubles with the first light, and was told to make sure that the eye was visible.. oh well, i only use it for the knight rider theme anyway. so being centered doesn't really effect it. and since this is my 3rd light, I don't wanna mess with it and have it stop working again lol.

nice install by the way.

Alright, I have to ask....what is the yellow wire for then? I am a little OCD sometimes and won't be able to function til I know the purpose of the yellow wire :-)

...oh, and thank you for answering the original question about the yellow wire.....you saved me a phone call as I have this same configuration on the set I got last week.

Oh...that is very cool! Thank you!!!

Do this, take your camera phone hold it to the IR remote and hold the button. You should see the IR signal flashing on the remote (invisible to the naked eye) if you do not see it then you may have no battery power.

So if I cant see the IR light flashing in remote (w/a new battery) through phn-cam, then is it likely a defective remote...? cuz it and the scanner worked fine before install. Luckily I set the scanner on the color & pattern I wanted most and its been stuck there ever since. I figure there's no point in making an issue out of it, but every now & then (at a show) it kinda bothers me knowing it has so much more to offer (being the multi-colored RGB scanner) that I cant use...so I settled and remained one of the "oh well" customers. Wired to a toggle, turns on and does what I wanted most out of it... Can I send Just the remote back for a new one?

Just had my dual 15 rgb scanner installed on my 45th v6 grill. Looks awesome. Although I might go back and install toggle switch. Anyone who has it running off the fuse box bolt have a toggle hook up picks and or location would be awesome. Thanks. Haven't even gotten to play with it. Seems I can't get the remote functions down or to do all the stuff.

Thanks for the detailed instructions, gave me the confidence to attempt it. I ordered V2 and the bar came pre-bent in the V-shape to fit perfectly. The wires were also in the middle of bar. So cut hole directly in the middle to pass the wire thru, and clipped right into exists slots. very easy install.

Toast forward a few years and they did just that. I just installed mine. It's got these little clips on the back that are identical to the one that you remove.

I got a switch from Autozone and have it in the glove box temporarily. The plan is to put it in the headliner where the sunroof switch would be.
