Best location for a Radar Detector

For my Vert, I used the Great Lake Trophy mount on the pass side. The XM antenna will not interfere with it. You can bend it a little to get it level, but it does shake a little. I think if you were handy you can bend up a piece of aluminum that will work instead of the $35.
I also highly recommend the Dashtronix V1 interface to get the alerts on your HUD and DIC. Expensive, but really super nice!

Something else to consider is the possibility/probability of smash-and-grab thievery. A high end detector goes for $300-$400. That's a prime target for punks and methheads. They get your RD, you get a busted window, insurance and repair hassles and a serious case of the pissed-offs.
Anyone had their car busted in for a RD or other gizmo?

I've got the visor mount/invisicord for my 9500ix. It's up nice and tight and out of the way but still has full directional vision. Also, if you get pulled over it would be very difficult for the PO to notice it without a thorough inspection. I was pulled over for my tint and the officer glanced around but didn't notice my RD.
