Bought a $ 99 Whistler Brand Radar Detector yesterday and wondered if anyone has had any experience mounting under rear view mirror ? Trying to avoid visable cords on dash .

I find mounting it to the windshield next to the mirror on the driver side to be just as visible to the driver but near invisible to outsiders. I use the mirror power tap, so there are no visible cords.

Tsumi - What kind of tap did you use, and where did you plug it in, ie, to which wires?

You can also buy a bracket that attaches to the bottom of the mirror and then plug into the back of the mirror, there are no visible wires and it is hardly noticeable when looking in the car from outside.

And that gives you keyed-on power, and is off with the key off? Or is it powered all the time?
And thanks for that link - I just ordered that tap. it's the most inexpensive one anywhere, and they are all the same.

On and off with key. I would double check with a multimeter before plugging anything in.
