Default fusa, tsuna, and radar detector.

I want to get a fusa and tsuna. Problem is that I have an Escort 9500ix radar detector that has a sensor facing the back window for supposedly 360 degree detection. Can't mount it too high because of the built in gps. Any way of position this properly and still be able to hang fusa and tsuna?

LOL, radar detector is for long trips down to LA. Also sometimes I like to hear the sound of the exhaust roar while driving

I don't think fusa would affect your radar in any way
just mount your radar right underneath your Rear View Mirror

I have exactly what you have and I don't have a problem. Mount the radar a 1/4 ways up in the center and you should be gold.

I have my radar to remind me not to speed. But occasionally ill speed on an open road, just staying less than 30mph over to avoid cuffs.
