Default Radar Detector placement
Anyone have some pictures of their detector placement? Definitely want the detector wired through the dash just not sure where I want it to go. Not a ton of space for it especially with a cleaned up power run. Planning on going with another escort max 360.

Max 360 with Blendmount and home made mirror tap for power.

FWIW, here's my 9500ix setup. I had the dealership wire it in through the fuse box. It's clipped to the passenger visor. When the top is off, it sticks up a little but it doesn't seem to affect performance that much. I also keep a small stack of napkins between the top and the visor when the top is on to level it out and you never know when you need a napkin.

That's how my V1 is mounted as well. Used the MirrorTap recommended with the BlendMount.
