Radar Detector Mount, Wiring Advice Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I've had my Celica for a long time now, and I've had my radar detector for a long time to. I think it's nice I set it up better than just plugged into the cig lighter. I was thinking of mounting it up by the rearview mirror, but I don't know how it would work up high as compared to down low. I'm not sure how the radar system works. Since I live in WV, there are a lot of hills here, and that makes me think that mounting it higher will let me now about cops setting just over the hills, like the do. Any suggestions on were to put it or how to wire it up would be great. Oh yeah, I was going to try to find a hot wire that works only when the car is on (sunroof wire), to wire it too so I could hide the wires while mounting it up next to the mirror.

I've done some reading and it seems as though you want it mounted were it can "see" everything. Just as I have had it for 2 years. I guess I picked the perfect place by luck. Now, I am going to try to do like Silver says and snake the wires through the vent system to hide them. The biggest thing was hiding the wires. I wanted to hide the radar detector itself, but I don't think I can. One way or another, I'll get it mounted somewere nice.
