Front plate solution for PDC?

I bought an EOS kit and it was guaranteed to not trigger PDC. I set it to the furthest setting and it still set it off. Which kit can I buy to not trigger PDC?

I run US Millworks and the only time it I get a solid false positive is towards the end of winter with ice and salt buildup.

I can confirm the US millworks does not trigger the sensors. U have to keep playing around with it. It took me at least 10 tries to get it to the perfect angle. I never got a false sensor ever since and it's been at least 1 year. Oh and my plate is horizontal and levelled lol, Not the pic above

Horizontal with it tilted so it follows the lines of the bumper and the closest point is about 3/8" away from the bumper. Also with the plate mounted all the way to the top right corner.

acdapast can you post a picture of your US Millworks location on your 2 series?

I got mine and i tried 3 different ways and none were perfect but i think this final one (posted pic) gave the least amount of false positives.

Also, I got an extra set of instructions from US Millworks saying i had to put the bolt sideways for the F22 (attached instructions as well) so i tried it - are you using this method too or do you have the clamp on the back of the plate facing upwards?

Also, i didn't try mounting the bracket upside down (..yet).
