R56 New option for V1 radar mounting
#27
Yep a radar detector should always be mounted as high as possible to get the earliest possible detection, it could be the difference between getting a ticket or not for speed traps just on the other side of hills (very common). For laser detection placement doesn't really matter cause if your getting a strong signal (it on you) your caught, if your getting a stray it could be coming off of anywhere. Laser jammers do should be mounted central/low, or closest to the reflective surface they will most likely use (headlights/lic. plate)

One really has to use all available methods to maximize roller evasion. Having a V1, keeping a faster car ahead of you, slowing when the terrain allows the troopers to utilize 'crypsis' as an entrapment technique, always looking out for non-standard police vehicles, and jumping inside of gaps in trucker convoys are just some of the ways to keep the points down on the license. It doesn't hurt to have your favorite deity on your side, either.

Ummm, you could always try slowing down...
That being said, I run my Passport 8500 flat on the dashboard stuck to one of those tacky sticky pads since suction cup mounts are (almost) illegal in California. Works fine for me. Saved me twice so far. Gave me plenty of time to slow down. (241 North approaching the 91, and 15 South approaching Baker if you want to know.)

I also have mine above and left of mirror, perfect placement, out of the way, secure and plenty of visibility front/rear. Just be careful on the electrical. Although I used a clean fuse tap on mine, the dealer nailed me for an entire fuse panel when the seat heater stopped working.
