    Default Mounting Question for Bana - Ontario

    Been thinking about where to conceal my STI. I have got a good spot under the hood. We have lots of laser in Ontario so I don't mind mounting a little low. and its really not that much lower than the wipers on my car.

    Question is: There is absolutely no view of the rear it'll only sense forward facing targets. Is this a really bad idea?? I don't think I've ever been radared from behind in Ontario.

    Other Question: can this unit be set up so that it automatically turns on with the key so I don't have to go under the hood and push the power button? I'm gonna be using the speaker inside the vehicle for the voice alerts.

    I'd be wary of keeping it water/grime/grease proof. Maybe some sort of box? Don't hold out hope on the laser...

    Yes for sure, just wire it to something switched...

    You're going to mount it under your hood?? Why?

    Theres lot of ways to hide it within the car. Remember without a Spectre alert cops dont take a second look at your vehicle.

    You should get a kit to put cd on the Sunvisor, and modify it to put your RD inside.. working fine for me

    i will post some pic tonight, u cant see the rd from outside the car

    Don't mount under the hood! The heat alone from your engine could damage the detector to add to what SmaartAasSaabr said
