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?

Post a pic of the upper windshield area inside your car. If you can't post pics yet, at least post a link to one which you upload to Photobucket or another hosting service. You also may still be limited on posting links, so throw in a couple of spaces in the URL for the photo.

I've got my STi on my visor in a CD holder thingie. It's one of those things for holding a bunch of CDs in slots. It has a big pocket in the middle, so the I installed the holder such that the pocket opening is facing forward. Then I stuck the detector in the pocket, so that the antenna end it pointed out the window. It's very stealthy. Also, don't forget to turn on dark mode, and hardwire to so that the cord is well hidden.

As of right now, it's sandwiched between the ceiling of the car and the visor.
My first trip through town to Lowes for install supplies, on the way home I picked up K band of increasing intensity (C/O) and it was a local LEO K band CO facing oncoming traffic.
My first confirmed hit.
Wired the direct wire kit through the column and under the dash to a custom switch panel I made for all of my neon lighting and other electronics.(pictures coming)
The direct wire control is low and to the right of the steering column (I'll take pictures tomorrow).
The external speaker is sturdy and mounted on the side of my PC78Elite.
VERY loud with the volume on the STi maxed out.
My only problem, is that the way it's mounted, it's:
1 - not level
2 - looking through the strip of tint on the top of the windshield
I will take pictures and you will understand why I cannot use the visor clip. (It's visible from the outside from the height of a patrol car).

By the way, thanks a million MEM-TEK for a great item.
Positive feedback is on its way.

I think I can.
I believe links and images both come in at 15 posts.
The photos will come tomorrow, or tonight if I feel ambitious.

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!
