Thats really awesome man, i like what you did the radar detector. How does that think work anyways? i thought it was like a big unit, or did you hide that somewhere else? I'd love to know how you did it, cause i've been thinking about it myself

the main unit is hidden in the top of the window behind the rear view mirror (kind of looks like a rain sensor does on newer cars) and i ran the wires down behind the dash, then just used a dremel to make a small hole and mounted the display into it with some super glue, then just masked it off and painted it. quite simple really but i think it looks great and it puts the mute button right there by the radio.
