Question Radar Detector Mount

Ok guys, you've helped out countless times before so here's another. I just bought a Bel RX65 detector and was wondering if anyone had some ingenious way of mounting this so it looked neat and didn't stick out like a soar thumb with the suction cups in the middle of the windshield. Maybe up in the upper left had corner behind the visor? Custom bracket maybe?

Seems like the way the visors fold, the overhead console and the tint behind the rearview mirror really limit the opportunities.

Anyway Thanks again.

I bought the blank Valentine 1 mount. High quality aluminium.

I like stuff on the windshield to be between the rearview mirror, and the top of the windshield, simply because, you dont look through that part of the windshield anyway. Is there anyway that you can mount the radar detector in a less obvious position, say in/on the dash, and have the sensing unit in the nose of the car?

Now these are sharp. I wonder if it would work with a satellite receiver?

I've got the same mount, but use it in my Dodge truck because the mirror mount in my Mustang rattle when I had it mounted there. Has anyone else had this problem/solution?

I made a mount with a flat piece of aluminum. Mounted it to the passenger visor clip. The Bell/Escort mount was bolted to it. Routed the wiring along the headliner to the fuse box.

I did something similar to AFChief. Keep meaning to take it off to spray-paint it flat black...

I like all four. Is there a neat way to run the power wire?

Tuck and fold ryhn. Take some time, route the wire, it shouldn't take more than an hour.

And try to tuck any excess wiring down the apillar, itll be easier to get the wire out of there, if you want to move the detector, than if you cut it to w/e length, and then have to figure something out...yes, I've seen it - duct tape on electical stuff like that

Are those three gauges that you mounted on the dash?
