Just wondering if people are having good results (radar detector still working) if you mount it above your RPD display

Not exactly legal where i live but i want to conceal it the best way i can and it still work

Beltronics STi is what i have

 

u should buy the one that builds rite into the dash board, i think its like 2,000$ tho lol

 

i have the valentine one.. i mounted it above the rear view mirror and it works grate

 

or get the passport IQ...its a gps and radar...noone would be the wiser

 

Valentine V1 works great, got it up high near rear view mirror

 

i have the passport escort 8500 X50 works amazing!

 

v1

 

I already have

Beltronics STi

I just got it and im not buying another one

Just looking for mounting tips

You guys running straight power cords or the Coiled, i think the straight cord would conceal better

Still just using the suction cup mount?

 

Valentine 1 works badass!

 

escort 9500xi mounted 6 inches off dash in the middle, using coiled power cord to the 12v cig lighter plug.

 

hardwire it in. have mine at the top of the windshield as id rather pic cops up as far away as possible. i ran the wire and tapped it into one of the few switched sources in the car. the sunfroof button. turns on and off with the key.

the blend mount for the rear view is nice aswell.

 

I like that.. pics?

 

I got mine under my mirror wit the wires ran around the apiller, it looks like it came with my car

 

I have the Valentine V1 and I have it hard wired in the very top left-hand corner of my windshield, makes it easy to view it without it being distracting while driving.

 

of what the blend mount? i dont use one. mines just high up by the headliner. no need for a blendmount.

 

Since you're in Ontario (Which is basically like Virginia/DC down here on RD bans), you'll want to go for a stealth setup.

You'll want a hardwire and a visor organizer to hide it, such as this: Radar Detector Concealed Visor Organizer

You can modify any visor organizer to work. Make sure your hardwire setup has a hidden kill switch that you can discretely hit without the officer noticing you. Some of them will purposely leave their radar units on in order to hear any concealed units when they pull you over.

 

does mounting the radar detector on the dot matrix on the windshield effect the range and effectiveness of the detector?

 

mines mounted right under the DOT matrix

 

Hmm im thinking of doing this 2 ways

They have this visor mount and a new cig power adapter with 12 feet of straight wire



Or Mount about RPD or at top of Left windshield and run the same 12 foot straight power wire

I currently have a coiled plug in cord and id like for a cleaner install and run the power cable near my pedals and up the A pillar

 

run the hardwire.. i like my radar higher as it picks things up farther out.
