Does this work better if placed where car doesn't run between sensor and receceiver? or does it matter if car passes between sensor and receiver?

It is best if the sensor is placed where nothing will break the line-of-sight between the sensor and the receiver, like a car, metal building, etc. The unit will sometimes NOT WORK AT ALL if placed where anything metal, especially things affected by a magnet, can break the line-of-sight between the sensor and receiver, but if the sensor is placed really close to the receiver, sometimes it works OK. I would not chance it to work if the vehicle was passing between the sensor and receiver. Hope this helps.

Anytime you place a huge chunk of metal in between a radio transmitter and receiver it is going to interfere with the signal. These units have a 1000 foot "line of sight" range, once you start putting stuff in the way you decrease its range significantly.

It should work on that if it has the VATS system. It DOESN'T bypass the entire system, it's basically an automated version of the resistor bypass of the sensor. You should try this http://www.bakerelectronix.com/products_vats/ if you want to bypass the whole system.

I agree w/ Gary because I did just that. It's cheaper and also the replacement sensor that I purchased thru Amazon, Heath / Zenith SL5316 is the best one I've had because you can adjust the range so the unit doesn't go off when vehicles go by. Also, unlike other units I've had, it doesn't keep going on & off when it's windy or raining

I have not experienced this with my two units.If you have the unit, You could experiment by operating the unit in quiet area (basement?) to see if your video is clear. Next put your unit next to your vehicle and activate your blue tooth link. See if it makes a difference. I have blue tooth and satellite radio and no problems. if you are planning to purchase one, I would recommend it. Check the vendor's return policy as you could return it if your situation has interference.

I only have a 1500 ft driveway with sensors located at different points. I do not extend the antennas of either sending unit as the signal at the receiver is quite strong. If I extend either antenna I pick up CB traffic over a mile away on I-40.

At long range, cannot get both to work. If I bring the button closer, they will both work. Also if too close together, they seem to conflict. My distance is 70 ft. Had to just use one receiver.

Well, not sure if there is enough range for the transmitter to send a signal to the receiver. You can try it, and if it doesn't work, return it right away. You will need to have a power source for the camera's transmitter like your backup lights wiring so the transmitter will send the camera image when you put your vehicle in reverse. On two backup cameras that I have, I've had to not use the quick wire taps for the transmitter cord and, instead, solder the wire on to your existing wiring since the quick wire taps will come loose over time. I found that even the plastic covers inside the trunk of my car interfere with the reception, so I had to mount the transmitter inside my trunk compartment instead of hidden inside the cavity between the plastic and the frame of my car......and it's a Miata which is a very short car and short distance for the transmitter to work. I don't know if the transmitter has to be inside something to protect it from the weather. I assume so.

When the vehicle is at rest, the data is only sent every few minutes (10 or 15). When the sensor detects movement it sends data every few seconds. I believe this is the way it works. I have had mine since Sept. 2013. Drove over 6,000 miles with only one brief glitch wich only lasted a minute.

This is exactly what I tried, two sensors programmed to work with two base receivers, and it worked, but for some reason, one of the bases receivers quit receiving signals. I tried reprogramming the dip switches, with the unit off, but nothing works, yet both sensors continue to work with the original receiver. The base powers up, and looks operational, but just will not receive the signals from the sensors anymore. So yes, I had two receivers picking up two different sensors, but then the one receiver failed after a short time, about two months. Maybe you will have better luck with dependability if your receivers are working properly.

I have the sensor nailed to a tree about three feet off the ground. It is very sensitive. I think installed at an angle above the garage would work. The receiver in the house works very well and beeps three times everytime something passes the sensor, could be a car, animal, or garbage man. Do not put the receiver near metal like a microwave it seems to block the radio waves. Also when the transmitter is rained on sometimes you get false readings. I put a plastic shroud over the top made from a yogurt container. Overall I am very pleased with the product and for the price it is a very good value. I highly recommend this product.

I'm not sure it matters, as long as you have a USB port to power the sensor. If you can find your cable box sensor by covering it up with your thumb, then that's where you tape down the the signal repeater

If I recall, there is a sensitivity setting. And no, there is no away a car will set it off. Its detection range is limited.

Sorry, I don't fully understand the question, but in order for that sensor to work it needs to be program to the car, and the car has to be equip with tpms system.

Hello - I bought one of these units (base station and 3 sensors) for my parents. They live about 800 feet off of a main highway with the base station in the house in an interior hallway and it works fine. They had one 7 years prior to that and it worked fine too. I don't think you have to have the sensor and the station in "sight" of each other as most people have the base station in the interior of their home. Hope this helps - Alan

I don't know. I installed this unit in a 1999 Eclipse and the receiver connects with the sensors in the wheels within 60 secs. The unit is cheap enough to experiment a bit. If it doesn't work, return it. Just don't cut the power cable and splice it into your fuse box until you are confident that it will function adequately for your application. Hope this helps.gb

Seriously, this sensor works only part of the time 5 feet or 100 feet away. I strongly suggest you use a reliable solution for anything that is important. It will false alarm, or lose track of the sensor or not alarm when it should. Then sometimes it works fine. I have 2 base units and 4 different sensors. None work reliably.

I installed the TT-CC05 on my 2006 Toyota 4Runner which places the transmitter/receiver at about 11 ft from each other. Reception is generally pretty good.
