Here is mine 'version' of set up... prefer hiding my toys closer to the top making not visible from outside to prevent bad guys breaking my windows

Dash camera + Escort radar

Having the radar up like that instead of level will greatly reduce the range of your detector. If you can, figure out a way to have it level. Otherwise great job!

where did you buy that mount from i am interested?

RomanTPA

That radar detector picks up cops from mile away when it was sitting inside of my center console under armrest.

Mount was on ebay for $10, search your radar model and permanent mount

LexusBC

I understand that, just recommending, that if you want it to perform best, you need to mount it level which is the correct way.

I have a 2013 GS350 F sport, does anyone know if the 10" mirrortap wire will do the trick or do I need 12"?

Im2bz2p345

I would go with the 12" otherwise there will be a lot of stretch/pull on that wire.

That's the one I went with and I'm glad that I did. The cost difference is minor.

The angle at which it is mounted would bother me to no end. Nice write-up, though!

It depends where you plan to install detector & where you get power from. In my case installed right under passenger sun visor & tapped to rain sensor, 10" worked perfect

Good point shurik74.

Mine is installed using a BlendMount, so just below the rear view mirror. Similar to the OP, but slightly further down since mine aims straight and isn't angled upwards. I also sometimes press the buttons on the top of the radar.

OP, just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I installed my RD today and it worked like a charm!

My car came with a K40 installed, but I would have gone this route as well with the escort. nice work!

What's the model # for your detector/dash cam?

How would you like it so far?

Warchant

Did you install the dash cam yourself or hire someone to do it? I really want a dash cam and am perfectly comfortable installing myself, but I'm concerned if I don't pay for a Lexus dealer to install it, they're going to give me a hard time about it with any warranty repairs in the future. Basically, I feel like if there's any possible explanation, they'll blame future problems on the dash cam install and try to deny warranty work.
