STi-R Install

[Curti]

I recently purchased a Bel STi-R for my C6 Vette. Has anyone installed a remote RD in a C6?
1- Is there a prefered way to route the wiring?
2- I would like to mount the display heads in the ash tray, has anyone done this?
3- I suspect the pickup head would be mounted just left of center in the grill area.
(in case I am forced to run a front plate)
4- Any suggestions for rear protection?
5- Does anyone have expierence with a Lift-n-Hide from A-Bond?

I don't know the Vette specific answers.

3- I suspect the pickup head would be mounted just left of center in the grill area.

Whatever you do, do not mount the antenna behind any grille. Mount it fairly straight, fairly level and with a clear view of the road.

4- Any suggestions for rear protection?

The Bel STi-R is crazy sensitive and will detect radar that originates form the rear of the vehicle quite well.

5- Does anyone have expierence with a Lift-n-Hide from A-Bond?

I'm not sure why you would you use this for a radar detector. They are legal in Wisconsin.

It is good to know that it will pick up radar from the rear.
The reason I need to be able to hide it is because I drive in Ontario.

not a Vett but similar install as you want to do. you do not need the A-bond. if installed right it is impossible to see. I have driven this car in Canada with no issues.

not sure where you are in WI but I am in northern IL if you need more help.
