Here are some pics of my custom-wired radar detector. I got sick of looking at the curly wire that blocked my dash and clogged my power outlet, so i wired it through the dash, up the passenger-side pillar, and through the roof. The whole thing took 20 mins and the result is well worth it.
I got a question regarding this detector. Does it actually work? I mean are you satisfied with the results and if so, please let me know the model and the brand, because i find myself in search of one, but until this time none of the ones i am aware of is reliable.

This is a Beltronics Vector940.. I got it a year ago and i love it; it's saved me a bunch of times. No radar detector is perfect, but this one is very good.
circuit city put mine on in the logical spot, ran it under the dash. Sure its not that crazy, but for 25 bucks, and 10 minutes of your time... you cant go wrong.
If I was the inventor type, I would make a replacement rearview mirror that had the rador detector built into it. The display would be on the glass, sorta like the new side mirrors with turn indicators built in. It would be ultra stealth... might be nice for places that rador detectors are not allowed too.
Who knows, maybe it's been done, but if anyone sees this and does it and becomes a millionaire.. please remember me at Christmas
Look closer when there is sunlight. There is a tintband at the top of my windshield. It's not very dark but it does limit detection according to V1. I keep my detector just below the rearview mirror for that reason and I've never been bothered about it.
Does anyone even sell a new car without tint across the top of the windshield nowadays??
When I'm at work tomorrow I'll see if I can capture it with the digital camera.
Would the rear sensor not work better if the detector wasn't right below the roof. I plan on wiring mine through the dash to free up my power outlet and putting my detector right below the rear view mirror.
i know that my Range Rover and LR Discovery doesn't have a tint band, as well as my WRX. i'm 99% sure that my 2001 SAAB 9-3 that i had didn't have one either.
