Default Radar Mounting Photos....

Just looking to see if anyone could provide a few photos of their set up and where they have their radar unit mounted please.
I know some use a bracket to the rear view mirror while some use the suction cups to the windshield glass. Also, where and how you have it plugged in...cord or hard wired.
Thank you for your help.

Hardwired with suction cups. No pics yet, but I can remedy that after this weekend.

I'm using the Vettemods radar detector bracket with an Invisicord hardwired into the rear view mirror power connector:

(sorry for the crappy pic but it's all I have :o )




I've had no issues with the bracket but some guys have mentioned that theirs vibrate excessively causing noise; mine does vibrate over rough pavement but it doesn't create any noise (even the suction cup mount vibrates and makes noise unless you dampen it with some extra material).

I believe Rick sells the Invisicords now so you can get one from him if you're interested in hardwiring into the mirror, I love my setup: very clean and simple to undo in a matter of minutes if need be

I have the mirror mount. Hardwired into the accessory pigtail located in the fusebox under the passenger toe board.
