Installing the Detroit LDW Camera
1. Park the vehicle and apply the parking brakes.
2. Run the engine until the air system is fully charged, then shut down the engine and chock the tires.

IMPORTANT: Completely clean the area where the camera will be mounted. If the windshield is not
clean and free of grease and dust, the camera may not properly adhere to the windshield surface.
3. Clean the windshield mounting surface with IPA wipe (50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water) or equivalent cleaner. Use a clean towel, and make sure the windshield surface is completely clean and free of
grease and dust.
4. Create the template included with this bulletin.

IMPORTANT: When printing the template, make sure that the "Actual Size" radio button is selected under the "Size" tab, the "Auto portrait/landscape" radio button is selected under the "Orientation" heading, and that the "1-sided" radio button is selected on the properties screen. See
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
4.1

Print the template provided on the last page of this bulletin.

4.2

Using a ruler, verify the length of the printed ruler graphic on the template. If the length of the ruler
graphic does not measure accurately, the template did not scale properly. Repeat this step until the
markings on the printed ruler match those of the ruler in hand.

4.3

Secure the template to a piece of thick cardboard with glue or tape. See Fig. 3.

4.4

Cut along the border, through the template and the cardboard, using a razor knife and straight edge.
See Fig. 4. Verify the dimensions shown on the template.

5. Using a digital level, take a level reading of the surface where the vehicle is parked. See Fig. 5.
6. Position the template on the passenger-side windshield, so the left edge is against the center rubber seal
and the top edge sits against the windshield upper rubber seal, then tape the template to the windshield.

IMPORTANT: Do not re-use the camera base. If the windshield is being replaced, or other service is
performed that requires the removal of the camera base, a new camera base must be installed.
7. Remove the protective liner from the back of the camera base.
8. Install the camera base on the windshield.
8.1

Hold the digital level used in step 5 up to the tabs on the camera base. While holding the digital
level on the base, hold the bottom of the camera base away from the windshield glass and align the
top of the camera base with the template. While maintaining zero level, lower the bottom of the camera base until it contacts the windshield. See Fig. 6.

8.2

Verify proper alignment of the camera base using the dimensions shown in Fig. 7. Hold the digital
up to the tabs on the camera base. See Fig. 8. The level reading should be the same as the reading taken of the surface where the vehicle is parked (±0.4 degrees, with a maximum spec of ±1.5
degrees). If the base is aligned correctly, continue with step 9. If the base is not aligned correctly,
remove it immediately before it cures and repeat steps 8.1 and 8.2.

9. Apply pressure on the base for 30 seconds, then wait 15–30 minutes for the camera base adhesive to set.
10. Connect the camera to the VRDU (Video Radar Detection Unit).
11. Fit the top of the camera into the two tabs on the camera base. See Fig. 9.

IMPORTANT: Take care when snapping the camera into the lower mounting notch. If the notch is
damaged, the camera base must be replaced.
12. Tilt the bottom of the camera forward until it snaps into the lower mounting notch. See Fig. 10.

the cover.
