Default About to install ALP system, need help.

Hey guys, I'm about to install my ALP laser defense system on the '17 C2S. Any tips on how to route the sensor wires back to the control unit? How about where to best mount the ALP control unit (the ECU all cables connect to)? I have 3 front and 2 rear sensors to install along with a bluetooth module and GPS antenna. Any tips on where to mount those units? Any help is appreciated! I plan to fully document the install and share the knowledge gleaned with other Rennlisters who want to DIY this install as well.

I've done many 12v audio installs in the past so this should be straightforward but I've never had to remove both bumpers on the car to install anything! It's always been door panels, seats, carpet, etc. :-)

Some installers put the brains under the dash and others under the drivers seat. This is a photo from a Musicar Installation under the drivers seat. My installer put it under dash.

Mines under the dash. Check out musicars license plate frame for the rear jammers. No drilling needed. That’s what I used

Ill be ordering their rear license plate mount. Are you using the external speaker for the ALP setup?

I just use the app and run it through the max360. No need for the speaker

Does anyone have instructions or photos of the path for the cable runs from the front and rear bumpers to the ALP control unit? I'm going to start the install this weekend and would appreciate tips on the path to run the cables from the cabin to the front and rear bumper areas. Thanks in advance.
