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.

mine has a forward reciver and rear reciever to pick up the radar signals so i have always had mine halway up the windshield below the rear view, so it can scan out the back window as well..

last week (after owning it and having it like that for a year) i moved it up to the left of the rear view where it is higher, and i like it a lottttt better up there, it seems to work the same as well. I was planning on running the wires behind the headliner and A-pillar to the fuse where i would ground and tap a power source.
