Default My radar detector mounted pics

This is my Belltronics 995 mounted....just did it a few hours ago.

The power cord is hidden in the headliner over to the a-piller, down into under the steering wheel, into a cigarette lighter extension cord, under the front of the consol and into the cig. lighter near the shifter.



And the outside view, can barely see it.



Some guys in the other detector thread wanted to see some pics so heres mine. Lets see some others.

Watch that black tint strip across the top of the windshield. That could cut down on your distance and ability to pick up signals from far away. Either way though looks nice.

Yea, it does kinda suck that they are illegal. We have a **** load of stupid laws here, its rediculous. Window tint on the front windows is limited (legally) to 50% and having no front tag is against the law as well...just to name a couple.

Yes, it does have the radar detector detector blocker in it. So far in the few years Ive had it, its never told me they are trying to detect it around here. I dont see many around here with them, guess they are scared.

Good point on the black stuff blocking the signal...didnt pick up on that but I might move it to the corner at the top now instead. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hey man, I did the same thing in my Camaro awhile back. However I did it to reduce attention from the crooks instead of the po po. Seems like it did reduce the visibility while driving though. So I just moved it back to the center and take it down everytime I park.

even if they aren't illegal, most cops hate radar detectors.
