Default Where do you guys stick your radar detector in the s197?

I have the hardwired connections so i can basically put it anywhere on my windshield. Where do you guys put yours? I kind of don't like my location anymore, i have it on the right of the pony-dotted thing. on the top. i was thinking about putting it closer to the speedometer, but i wanna hear your opinions?

Mine goes on just left of the center of the windshield, about 4 inches or so from the center, and about 5 inches above the dash. I like to have it in my close peripheral vision so I when it goes off I can see it while I'm looking at the road.

I mount mine behind and just below the RVM. From my position in the drivers seat, there's no daylight between the bottom of the RVM and top of the RD. I was mounting it to the left of the RVM but I prefer the more mid-mounted position. This provides an ever so slight increase in the chance of picking up a laser hit.

If you have the right type of rear view mirror check out our Invisicord option. Add this to our SCP Mount and you will have a sweet set-up

Check them out at www.southernmustangparts.com or just click below

I was planning on getting a detector and mounting it right where you have it now, what don't you like?

I put mine just above the dash and just to the right of the steering wheel. That way I can see it when it goes off.
