Beltronics STi Driver

[mgiara]

So I just purchased an STi Driver on eBay. It should be in the mail tomorrow, and I can't wait to play with it. It's my first radar detector, and I may be driving in a state where radar detectors aren't allowed.
I ordered a visor clip as well from eBay as I think this is the most stealthy way to install it.
Any suggestions?

Get LIMO TINT around your car except the windshield

pretty good idea but cops seem to love tinted windows , they all want to see what youre hiding.

For over 2 years with this package and no issues whatsoever but to avoid any unnecessary "breakdown" anytime one of them is right behind me or beside me, for instance at a traffic light, I just open the driver's window (in the middle of the freaking winter as well, or raining) so they can see anything they want to, they are interested in wearing the seat belt, nothing in the windshield in my area, and pretty soon illegal talking on a handheld cell phone, and that's it, no other issues with limo tint!

I understand completely, but when you say "nothing in the windshield in my area", does this mean you have your RD visor mounted?

For almost 3 years now, how else?

I'll show you how I have it, sandwiched between the ceiling and the visor, and why i cannot visor mount.

Here is what the roof-line looks like from the outside with the visors closed and flush against the ceiling of the car:

How can I post image thumbnails that link to enlarged photos?

This is what I mean by "visors closed and flush against the ceiling"

I've driven around town with the detector sandwiched between the ceiling of the car and the visor twice and passed a speed trap once, with no problems and was alerted properly.
This is what it looks like from the inside:

and from the outside:

You will notice I put a pack of cigarettes in the same place as the RD on the passenger visor so everything is even from the inside and outside.
You should notice a small bulge near the top of the windshield, from the outside with my sandwich technique.

And finally, the visor clip:
and from the outside:

I think it's pretty clear that there's a black square hanging from the visor, visible from the outside.
