Default radar detector positioning?

will the little black dots around the rearview mirror affect detector sensitivity or will the signal pass through these?

I read that some metallic window tint stops the signal, but i dont think that these qualifiy as metallic tint??

I was looking to see if I could find a picture of a radar detector installed Above the mirror in the Z, and I couldn't find any.
Don't have my Z yet, is there space for one there ?

I have read a post where someone mounted their 8500 behind these dots, on an Infiniti FX, and had a friend who was a cop test it out with him, and it made no difference mounted behind the mirror dots

8500 Install Above Mirror

V1 Above Mirror mount

My V1 is also mounted there and it seems to be the perfect location.
