    Default Where is the BEST place to mount RD w/Suction cups?

    I just got the 8500 x50 and im wondering how to make it as deadly as possible for picking up detection..does placement on the windsheild even matter? Any help would be awsome thanks

    Above the rear-view mirror if you can, straight, level and away from any tinting.

    sure the cord would be in your way. That's why many of us get our detectors hardwired to that the power cord comes from near where we mount it. In this case you would want the powercord to come out of the rearview mirror area. Try a search this question gets asked a lot.

    Most of us do hardwire our detectors..... Here are some photos of my
    installation. This will give you an idea of what we mean. I've mounted
    mine high and low before. I found that high worked better
    so that is where mine is currently mounted.

    Here's my setup. I much prefer it over where I used to mount it... which was low.
