Hi, you'll find instant answers with no waiting if you take a couple of minutes to use search!

For example, I went to advanced search, pointed at the ISF forum and put 'radar' in the thread title.

I have mine on the passenger side visor, hardwired into the fuse box. I routed the hardwire through the headliner, down the drivers side A pillar and into the fuse box. It turns on and off with the car just the way I like it. I find this to be the best location for a few reasons.

1. it is out of my way
2. I work on a military installation and the guard at the gate would have to stick his head in my car to actually see it
3. it has a clear view of the road ahead.

I have done all kinds of reading about the best placement etc and find that this works just fine for all radar and even laser. I have been alerted many times by Laser from cops on the side of the road, and my radar has picked up the "scatter"

Right now I have the Beltronics RX65 and am looking to upgrade to a Escort Redline.

I just have mine on the dash... Not classy but it works fine there and is out of the way. Not sure the model # but it's an Escort.

I have my V1 placed in the upper left corner of the windshield (where the dealership would place the oil change sticker). I know it isn't in the best location for optimal use, but it's easy to see and adjust. It's also nice to be able to flip down the visor and hide if you do get pulled over.

I have the non-coiled cord run along the front of the headliner, down the driver side a-pillar, through the instrument panel, under the center console, and popping out to the cig lighter behind the shifter.

V1 radar Blendmount-ed under the rear view with Stealth Cord wired into the rear view. No wires and no suction cups was my goal

Fully integrated Bell STiR+ with rearview display (modded to blue) and LI Quad Laser Jammer setup.

F is a bit dirty... ignore that, hard to keep clean in the winter :-)

Go big or go home
