Mounting in an SUV :)

[ELVATO]

Ok, Im supposed to be getting my x50 in today. When I do get it, where should I mount it? Where would it have the best chance of catching laser scatter, considering I drive an SUV? Up top, in hopes that I might catch some scatter off a car roof? Apparently, laser is pretty popular in Florida, but I dont have the money right now for a jammer Any help would be appreciated

(Recommendation) Right under the RVM, that is where I have mine, and I don't have a SUV. I got shot with laser and got the alert right when it hit me.

but if you think about it, in your expedition, mounting low is a little higher then mounting higher in a car. my mom has an explorer and if i put my x50 low in her car its higher then when i put myne high in my car. so i dont really know. low would help for laser and its still higher then most cars on the road

Yea, I was going to say something like that originally, but I couldnt get it into words But yea, dont know where I would get the best chance of getting scatter :?

Still mounting high will still get better range on radar of hills and stuff...will decrease your chane of laser scatter..{witch is very slim to none anyways}....so id go high..

Ok, I took it for a mini test run around my area of Orlando(Alafaya, University Blv, and Colonial) Mounted it about 5-6 inches from the dash. Its line of sight was about level(maybe a little lower) with the roof of a lot of cars. Here's an overview of what I encountered...

Lots of K door openers :? From the road, Id only get one bar, so that wasnt too distracting.

A "Your Speed" sign with the display off, but the radar on. First time I encountered it, I thought it was a cop that was going the same way as me, since the thing was beeping for a long time. Even after I passed, it continued to give me a strong signal, leading me to believe it was a cop. On the way back, it also gave me excellent range, but this time, I knew what it was. (It didnt occur to me to get a range :? )

Almost back at the apartment, I saw a state trooper parked on the sidewalk of Alafaya. I thought maybe he was shooting instant, but it turned out he was just looking at his laptop


So, I was kinnda dissapointed that I didnt get shot during my first trial run in Orlando, the third busiest speed trap city

Will keep posted on new updates :P


So, back on topic :P , I should mount my RD under the RVM? Wouldnt the dangling cord attract unwanted attention?

Man you got a top of the line radar....Deff order the hard wire from escort that way no matter wear you put it ...theres no wire.

Hmmm... Now that you mention it, Im seriously considering it now. 30 bucks seem to be well worh it

Its easy to do and youll like it alot man trust me...and the jack will work with a RX65 and a V1 if you ever go radar crazy and try others haha..

with that big white SUV forget about picking up laser, the cop will get a reading at a higher distance than usual so just go ahead and hardwire it high
