hey guys,

I am trying to find a unique way i could install my radar detector...

i did a search and in one of the posts someone said that there was an entire thread about cool ideas for placement, i searched for it and couldn't find it. does anyone know where this thread was? or any cool ideas for detector placement?

 

what kind of radar would you be installing? Are you putting it in your prelude?

 

mount it behind your rearview mirror

 

Anywhere where it is facing exactly straight. Not to the right or left.

 

I mounted mine on top of the dash:

 

I mounted mine with some silicon glue onto the dash, and hard wired the switch to the pocket under the headunit

anywhere that the front and rear arn't blocked, it's pointless to get real creative with a radar detector unless you are using a hideaway like the K40 2000.

 

Got mine in the drivers side corner of the dash. it seems somewhat hidden on both sides. people always ask me where it is

Worst detector ever Has anyone been able to mount their 8500 over the rear view mirror? I keep running into issues with the visors and mirror adjustment. I have it below the mirror right now, but I might just move it back to the center of the windsheild.

 

I don't know how you could say it's the worst radar detector ever, I've sold quite a few of those and people wouldn't spend over a thousand dollers for a Radar Detector that didn't work, I installed one the other day in an AMG SL55 and the guy came back to tell me how well it worked.
