If the dealer installed it, take it back and have them not block the sensor (which is 100% covered by the plate)

Here is a couple picture of other locations people have shared:

Thx man!!!! The thing that got me was that the dealer plates didnt give me an issue - maybe because the sensor could read through the material vs. the aluminum

note both of these require a little fabricating/modding

Getting an error message that my recently installed front license plate is blocking the break assist sensor - anyone else having this issue? The actual plate is no bigger than the temporary plate. Included 3 pics, last one with the trees in the background was with the original dealer plate, no issue.

Yeaaaaaah. If your plate is mounted there you're going to have a bad time 🤣.

That black box in front of the Intercooler is the ACC (adaptive cruise control) radar.

I'd simple change it to utilize the "Bronco Bolts" for the top of your plate vs the bottom as it appears to be now.

Problem solved?

Do you know where I can buy the license plate frame for the top two pictures? This is what I want.

the only surprise here is that it worked at all considering the location. wouldn't have thought the radar would shoot through paper/plastic.

That looks to be just a piece of steel or aluminum with a slight bend and 7 holes. I'd head to Lowe's, Home Depot or your local hardware store for the raw materials.

Its the same location as the dealer plates.
Doesn't matter. It can't go there! Learned that at the demos and here months ago, which is why there are probably ten threads on it. The camera is there. Same problem for winch dudes.

First 2 pics was a custom made out of sheet metal.

Second one is the oem bracket just modded to fit using the mod bumper bolt locations.
Here is picture from behind on that one:

Like a dummy I saved the pictures and not who the username was so that I could tag them in here or look up their post. 🤦‍♂️
