We have beat this one to a dead horse...

Mount high, doesnt matter what vehicle.

You have that tint band across your windshield; so it might not be a good idea to have the detector behind it, from what i've read/heard.

If the tint strip is metalic, then mount below it. If it is not metalic, then mount behind it

How about making a sticky that lists where the best place to mount certain brands, I know this is a matter of opinion but this might keep us from beating this dead horse over and over as to where to mount the radar detector.
Just a thought....

Well, I believe the v1 is the only manufacturer that recommends you to mount high.

The best way is to read the manual and see what it tells you to do.

**sethy** · 06-13-2005, 03:56 PM

Yep, and the v1 manual will tell you to mount high

What do you guys mean by 'metallic'? Is 'TItanium' tint considered metallic or no?

THanks

Go to a parking lot, and turn it on A mode. When it starts falsing like crazy, mount it to the roof. as see if the arrow in the front dies off. If it does, then its a metalic strip.
