Curb alert for 16 camaro

Wired up a curb alert today. Here are the specifics for the camaro, other than that, a you tube vid shows you the generic instructions and calibration. I've mounted these on my last 5 cars, love em.





the you tube from Bill, the inventor:

LED mounting on rear hood lip for visual notification later this week.

Could you show a pic of how it enters the cabin through the door? Is it deforming the rubber seal?

its not deforming anything, the wire slips behind the door molding, onve you see how the wire slips thru, you see how easy it is....this is one of those - you gotta see it to understand it..It's a 22 gauge wire, it'll go anywhere or underneath anything...

dont know if this will work but its a video showing the LED firing off mounted on the rear lip of the hood when it encounters the curb in my condo. Great when you have the music up:



Clck on the pic....

what size bolts did you use to connect to the positive voltage? Also where did you install the LED?

Bolts for connection.....wire ring terminals with 10mm nut

As I said above, Light is right under rear lip of hood...did you watch the video?

Watch the vid for install made by curb alert, use hand tools and its common sense when you get everything in front of you.....

Curb alert mini, the kit is all universal...Nothing specific to any car...the mini has voltage auto shut off, so you do not want the curb alert pro.

Thanks. This should help me from wrecking my splitter I ordered. My 13ss splitter was abs, and took some curbs like a champ. I don't think the fiberglass one for the 16 will be so durable.

I got the Curb Alert system from PFYC. I see no mention of a Curb Alert Mini or Curb Alert Pro. I got what was recommended for our year Camaros. I don't see the LED in my kit or any of the kits I see online.
