Default Radar detector installation

Friends,


I just bought a new Valentine 1 Radar detector. I am planning on installing it. I just want to know where is the best location for it. I do not want to re invent the wheel, so if you had it install, I would really appreciate your informative input. Pictures are very welcome.

George From Pasadena,

I have mine installed on the upper left side of the windshield hard wired into the rear view mirror/homelink system. Nothing fancy but subtle and does the job.

Have mine hardwired using a wire from the ignition. There should be a A LOT of pics and write ups on radar install, just gotta find it. Sorry, I no longer have my pics.

Higher is better. Also be aware that some tints will actually block the radar signal from reaching the detector.
