radar dector placement
radar dector placement i just got my car and i wanted to put my radar dector in and i wanted to put it in the center of the window and was wondering how you would run it throught the crack in the top of the dash and down to the cigareete lighter so that way i wouldnt have the cord just be dangling in front of the stero cus that looks like ****
thanks
thanks
damn those mounting places are badass, you see the only problem i have is that i have a cobra 360 deggress radar decotor and the front of it has to be pointing out the back of the back window in order for it to work right for the 360 degress so i couldnt do that but how would i get that front dash piece off?
ya i found the spot where i want to put it right above my rear view mirror, and tie it into the lamp wires going to the rear view mirror, could i do that??? or would it always be on? is there anyone that has done this please let me know
thanks
thanks

2MuchRiceMakesMeSick, by putting your detector up in the headliner, won't you lose some signal due to the upper part that is tinted? I'd put mine in the same place, but when you spend $400 to get a decent radar unit, you don't want its protection to be compromised; I would think that the tint has to cut down on its visibility some.

Ive got the Passsport X50 8500 and have it hardwired along with the remote mount display in the speedo cluster.
The detector is above the rear view. Kinda tricky to see in the picture, but it's the best one I got.
And then this one shows the remote display. This way I don't have to hear it going off when the stereo is blazing, It just flashes a red light at me when it detects something.

ya but i dont have the remote thing to put in my gauge cluster, so it would jsut be my cobra radar dector sitting above my mirror could i still just splice into the lamp wires and would everything still work?
mine is mounted above the rear view. i ran the wires down the a pillar into the fuse box. then i pulled out the fuse box and tapped into one of the wires (i forgot which one). so it turns on when the car is on, and off when the car's off. 
If you have an aftermarket CD player in your car it's very easy. Red wire is 12v switched and black of course is ground. Run it across the headliner, down the a-pillar, back to behind the deck and you are all done.
If you don't have an aftermarket player, get out the test light and start figuring out what wire does what.
