New guy

[Spurlockda]

Just checking in. Just bought a Redline with the Escort Live app for my iPad and iPhone. My pockets are not so deep, especially after paying two recent speeding tickets so I am going to have to build my system payday to payday. I want to get some laser shifters next so I am researching the different companies now.

Here's my first embarrassing question (confirms my newbieness): do I have to mount the Redline in the center of the windshield both vertically and horizontally? Right below the rear view mirror? I'd like to hide it from prying eyes as much as possible and I would like to make sure the detector has the best chance of collecting signals as possible.

I am a former Aviation Electronics Technician from the Navy so technically I can grasp all of the theories and the maintenance/installation practices.

Thanks everyone.

can you give us a clue WHY the very same radar detector version will often have production models that are excellent and a lot that aren't so hot ? LOL !

BTW welcome to the forum !

Welcome! Use common teck sense, your right on! High up for radar and for lidar maybe low. Test your auto with a laser pointer at the headlight cluster or front plate on a dark night and see where the reflections go, play like a Leo with a laser gun!...
