    The slight degree off to the left will not decrease your real threat sensitivity. However it will decrease the sensitivity of falses to the right very slightly.

    I have my 9500I mounted exactly the same and it does very well there.

    these high end units it's already so freaking far that in the real world you don't care about that loss. Bottom line it doesn't matter. As long as it's not pointing into your dashboard or up into the ionosphere, you're fine.

    Yea the only reason why I'm holding back is that it makes the detector hang pretty low and quite visible. I just hardwired mine and like how it is just below the tint strip (the tint strip covers the suction cups) so it is very hard to see from the outside unless you are looking for it.

    Hi Jabomb9,

    Check out this thread which shows how I mounted my STi. I have now installed my 9500i's bracket above the right side of my rear view mirror too.

    A solution/discussion to mounting high (bubble tint strip)

    Hopefully this solution will be ideal for you!

    That looks pretty slick. It's actually quite similar to the way I have mine mounted, except I use the suction cups. But, like I said, the cups are in the tint so you can't see them.

    I'll post pics of how mine is hooked up tomorrow. But thanks for all the responses and ideas guys!
