Hey John, so there's no reason you couldn't mount the Roadmaster Universal Braking Monitor # RM-9530 under the hood of your vehicle. The signal strength would be perfectly fine there.

Thanks Jameson, I did mount it in the rear drivers-side engine compartment, near the top hood. Just to share a recommendation I received: the case to the transmitter is not sealed and subject to water infiltration. So extra steps should be taken to provide a secondary enclosure or otherwise seal the existing box with silicone or similar. I don't have any guidance on the heat aspect, but I've placed it as far from the engine as possible. We'll see how it goes.
