    Default Where do you have your Cheetah detector mounted?

    Just as the title says..

    Oh and also if you have any pics of your mount would be great too.

    I have a cd cubby underneath my headunit and was thinking about placing my C50 there, but that would require me to get the GPS antenna cable for optimum connection.

    Default Re: Where do you have your Cheetah detector mounted?

    I have mine in the bottom left corner of the windshield, just behind the inspection/registration stickers. The stickers keep it mostly hidden from anybody walking by and looking inside the car, as well as keeping it from the direct sunlight most of the time. It's also more natural to check my speed on the C50 since it's almost in my direct line of sight (as opposed to having to look down at my speedometer). The downside is that sometimes the display is a little hard to read, so I will probably be moving mine to the dashboard right above the steering wheel column (as soon as my 90 degrees mini-USB cable arrives to make the install a little cleaner).

    I have mine mounted behind the steering wheel, just onder the speedometer, on the left. It usually gets satlock pretty reliably there, and is right where I visually scan often. I find myself checking my speed on the C50 more often then on the car's speeo.

    Try it and see how it works first, I can get lock under my carport or in the middle of my house when connected to the laptop after a short while.

    I run one in my car just like in switch626's pic and another gets tossed on the dash of whatever I'm driving for the day at work.

    They always get lock and seem to only give dodgy speed readings when driving through tall forests or under multiple overpasses, a bit like how XM radio drops out in similar situations.

    Default Re: Where do you have your Cheetah detector mounted?

    So I finally attached the C50 to the top of the steering wheel column as this is the perfect location display and performance. I've noticed I'm looking more at the C50 then my speedometer for my speed!

    Now only if i can figure out a way to have that speed data projected onto my windshield hmmm..
