Addictive Desert Designs Adaptive Cruise Control Relocation Bracket – 2021-2026 Ford Bronco | AC23152501NA

Installing an aftermarket front bumper on a Ford Bronco equipped with factory Adaptive Cruise Control can require relocating the radar sensor from its original bumper-area location. The Addictive Desert Designs Adaptive Cruise Control Relocation Bracket, part #AC23152501NA, provides a clean solution by relocating the factory sensor behind the Bronco's upper grille.

Designed for 2021-2026 Ford Bronco models equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control, this bracket moves the factory ACC radar sensor out of the way to provide clearance for compatible aftermarket front bumpers.

The bracket is constructed from metal and finished in ADD's durable Hammer Black powder coat for corrosion resistance and a clean appearance behind the grille.

Why Is an ACC Relocation Bracket Needed?

Ford Broncos equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) use a radar sensor mounted toward the front of the vehicle.

The factory sensor location can interfere with the installation of certain aftermarket front bumpers, particularly bumpers that substantially change the configuration of the center section of the factory bumper.

The AC23152501NA relocation bracket moves the sensor behind the upper grille, freeing the original area for the aftermarket bumper installation.

This allows Bronco owners to install compatible aftermarket bumper systems without simply eliminating the factory ACC radar sensor.

Relocates the Factory Sensor Behind the Grille

The primary purpose of the AC23152501NA is simple:

Factory Location → Relocated Behind Upper Grille

Moving the sensor behind the grille keeps it positioned toward the front of the Bronco while creating the additional space necessary for compatible aftermarket bumper installations.

This is particularly important when installing bumpers incorporating:

• Winch mounts

• Center light pockets

• Reinforced center sections

• High-clearance bumper structures

• Aftermarket skid plates

• Other components occupying the factory sensor area

Designed for ADD Bronco Bumper Installations

The AC23152501NA is designed to provide the ACC relocation required when installing compatible Addictive Desert Designs front bumpers on Adaptive Cruise Control-equipped Broncos.

Depending on the specific bumper and vehicle configuration, the relocation bracket may be required to complete the bumper installation.

Before ordering a Bronco front bumper, customers with factory Adaptive Cruise Control should verify whether an ACC relocation bracket is required for that specific bumper.

Adaptive Cruise Control vs. Adaptive Speed Control

Customers may encounter two different names for this product:

Adaptive Cruise Control Relocation Bracket

and

Adaptive Speed Control Relocation Bracket

Both descriptions refer to ADD part #AC23152501NA and its function of relocating the Bronco's forward radar sensor.

Using both terms in the product description also makes it easier for Bronco owners searching for either terminology to find the correct component.

Hammer Black Powder-Coat Finish

The bracket features ADD's:

Hammer Black Powder-Coat Finish

The powder coating helps protect the bracket from corrosion and environmental exposure while providing a durable black finish that blends into the area behind the Bronco grille.

Installation

ADD's application data rates installation at approximately:

Installation Difficulty: 2 out of 5
Estimated Installation Time: Approximately 1.5 Hours

The factory Adaptive Cruise Control sensor is relocated from its original position to the new bracket behind the upper grille.

Because the radar sensor is a precision component used by the vehicle's driver-assistance system, care should be taken not to damage, excessively impact or improperly position the sensor during installation.

Important ACC Sensor Considerations

The Adaptive Cruise Control radar sensor relies on an unobstructed path through the front of the vehicle.

After installation, verify that:

• The sensor is securely mounted

• The bracket is correctly positioned

• Nothing is contacting the sensor

• Wiring is properly routed and secured

• The sensor's forward-facing area is not unnecessarily obstructed

• The grille and any accessories in front of the sensor must be properly positioned. The photo shows how the grille was clearanced to provide the ACC sensor with an unobstructed view.

Accessories, grille components or other objects directly in front of the radar sensor can potentially affect Adaptive Cruise Control operation.

Calibration Considerations

Relocating a radar sensor changes its physical mounting position.

After installation, verify that the vehicle's Adaptive Cruise Control and related driver-assistance systems operate correctly.

If the vehicle displays:

• Adaptive Cruise Control warnings

• Pre-collision system warnings

• Sensor blocked messages

• Driver-assistance faults

• Unexpected ACC behavior

the sensor installation and alignment should be inspected and the system may require calibration according to Ford service procedures.

Compatibility With Aftermarket Grilles

Because the sensor is relocated behind the upper grille, customers using an aftermarket grille should verify that the grille design does not interfere with the sensor's radar path.

Heavy grille structures, metal components or other accessories positioned directly in front of the radar sensor may interfere with proper operation.

This should also be considered when adding:

• Grille-mounted lights

• Light bars

• Camera brackets

• Emblems

• Grille inserts

• Other accessories near the relocated sensor

Can the grille interfere with the relocated ACC sensor?
Anything positioned directly in front of a radar sensor has the potential to affect its operation. After installation, make sure the sensor is properly positioned and that grille components or accessories are not unnecessarily obstructing its forward-facing path.

Will this work with an aftermarket grille?
Compatibility depends on the grille's construction and design. Make sure the grille does not place substantial material or accessories directly in front of the relocated radar sensor.

Can grille-mounted lights interfere with the ACC sensor?
Lights, brackets or other accessories should not be mounted directly in front of the relocated radar sensor. Always verify proper ACC operation after installation.

Will the Adaptive Cruise Control need recalibration?
Because the radar sensor is physically relocated, proper sensor positioning and operation should be verified after installation. If the Bronco displays driver-assistance warnings or the ACC system does not operate normally, sensor alignment and calibration should be checked according to Ford service procedures.
