Default Installing DEI proximity sensor

Looking for recommendations where I could install my DEI proximity sensor. I have a DB7 and can’t seem to find a spot in the center console to mount the sensor…too cramp. I do have an auto tranny so that takes up some space in the center console. Any suggestions?

Face down under the headliner, I install prox sensors under the headliner all the time, works great, although I am no fan of the DEI prox sensor. 94

I agree on the DEI Prox. Sensor and mounting location. Headliner doesn't take long to pull down but it does help to have an extra hand to maneuver it out of the car.

Also when adjusting the sensitivity start with the interior sensitivity and then the adjust the exterior .

The best spot that I have used and it works great for me is right behind the the radio in the center of the car. Its the spot were you can reach your hand from the driver side to the passanger side. Also makes adjusting it alot easier.
