I know that there are other places on this site that show where the optimal place to mount a RD is, but currently the place I have mine mounted seems** to be working just fine. I have a 2000 GMC Yukon, and the RD is mounted to the top left of my RVM. It is behind the green/blueish tint. How much does this affect the RD's performance?
If this is the wrong area of post, I do apologize, any assistance would be much appreciated.
as long as it is not a metalic tint it shouldnt affect the detection at all
If it seems to be doing fine, then I would say that it probably is. As long as the tint is non-metallic, you should be OK. As far as the best mounting position, there are TONS of posts that already exist on this topic, and by answering that I would be contributing to the kind of repeat posts that we are trying to get rid of.
I dont believe that it is metallic tint, how can I be sure? Can you tell if it is metal? Would you like for me to take a photo and post it?
my question is, how much will it affect laser detection because i want to remount my radar.
what detector do you have??
Mine is the v895, what do you think is the best place to mount it?
i have the 955 and thats the exact same as the 895 just a diferent name, anyway i find just below the tint line in my car is perfect with it hardwired, you could call the dealership to find out if it is metallic or not :wink:
come to chat, and I will answer that question http://gabbly.com/www.radardetector.net
This is very simple. You can use an cheap Cobra, go to your local mall, grocery store, convenience store, anything that has an automatic door opener. Set your car up in the back of the parking lot where the signal strength is constant and on the lower end of the scale. Now raise the RD up to behind the tint. Take note of any changes in signal strength.
SIMPLE! :D
If you have the factory tint (most likely dye in the windshield) only then it won't affect radar, just laser, so don't worry about it.
