StealthPods™ FAQ

Most vehicles use three front shifters and two rear. The Redline Ci 360c ships with five (upgradable to six). Redline CiC and ZR6 can expand based on vehicle width and protection goals.

The transmitter must be centered in the front array. If using multiple transmitters, keep them centered and surrounded by transceivers. Ask your installer or contact us for model-specific layout.

Yes. Many installs use Fixed pods in factory openings and Adjustable pods in angled or tight areas, maintaining correct aim and symmetry.

Level to within ±0.5° horizontally and vertically. Use the StealthPods™ Level Arm (provided by us) with the small bubble level included in your Escort hardware kit.

Pods allow fine up/down and left/right adjustment. For severe angles, add shims to achieve the ±0.5° target.

3M automotive tape, self-tapping screws, or a combination. Clean with rubbing alcohol, install at 70°F+, apply even pressure, and avoid wax or dressing under tape.

Level first, verify aim, then tighten the bottom M10 jam screw to lock the spherical core. Finally, snap in the IR-pass acrylic lens.

Only snug the M10 jam screw lightly—just enough to hold the center cylinder in place after leveling. Overtightening can strip the ASA threads and make the pod unusable.

Leave a small service loop at each pod, avoid sharp bends/edges, use automotive ties/clips, and re-check after panels are reinstalled.

Yes. Re-check after initial heat cycles, after any bumper work, and during regular service intervals.

Pods are printed in ASA, which offers ABS-like strength with superior UV stability—ideal for exterior automotive use.

It protects the shifter face while allowing IR to transmit. It snaps into the top/bottom detent rails on the pod’s front and sits flush.

It locks the spherical adjustable center in position after you achieve level and aim.

Pods include drainage paths and tight interfaces, but they are a mounting system—not a substitute for third-party ingress certification. Follow the device manufacturer’s guidance.

Use mild soap and water or a plastic-safe cleaner. Avoid solvents that can haze acrylic. Do not polish with abrasive compounds.

ASA is highly UV-stable. Normal surface care (cleaning/wax around but not on the tape zone) helps preserve appearance.

StealthPods are designed around Escort Redline Ci 360c, Redline CiC, and ZR6. Layout and count depend on vehicle width and coverage needs.

They’re engineered for Escort shifters. If you plan to adapt another brand, consult your installer and contact us to review dimensions and clearances.

Yes. We offer universal pods and vehicle-specific designs. Choose Fixed or Adjustable—or mix—to fit your bumper geometry.

Use Fixed where factory openings are already level/straight and space is tight. Use Adjustable where bumper surfaces are angled or irregular.

Yes, plan for at least three up front. On wider vehicles or for enhanced coverage, expand to additional front units and two rears.

Order directly on our site or through your installer. For custom or vehicle-specific requests, contact us.

In-stock universal pods typically ship quickly. Vehicle-specific or custom variants may require additional lead time. We’ll confirm ETAs at checkout.

Yes. Replacement IR-pass acrylic lenses and hardware are available. Reach out with your order details.

Pods are warranted against manufacturing defects. Damage from improper installation, modification, or misuse is not covered.

Yes. We can advise on pod selection, layout, and mounting best practices. Contact us with vehicle details and kit configuration.
