Is it easy to get access to the back of the dash or do I have to strip off a bunch of access panels.

Take in-progress pics of your wiring installation. I miss the auto-dimming rear view mirror in my Expedition and I would like to put one in my Mustang. I'll need power to the mirror, I'm sure.
I had this idea to hide a radar but i dont know if its a stupid idea of a fairly good one. Ok id dissasemple a regular radar. run the sensor into the grill, maybe hide one by the rear license plate too. then run them into the glove box to a switch and i dont know what to do with the speaker though. do you think that this would work?
If you are looking to hardwire a radar directly into your car and don't mind spending a little money, I would definately suggest the Beltronics ProRX75plus. It's a concealed system that mounts directly in your car and is one of the most discreet systems on the market. It has 2 front and one rear sensor that mount directly to the front and rear of the vehicle (hidden of course). It senses all laser bands and their intensity, blocks all laser bands, and is undectable by that pain in the *** Interceptor VG-2 Radar Dectector detector that cops love to use so they will never know you are using a radar. It also has an optional display that can be mounted in dash, or just mount the speaker for audible warnings and leave out the display so no one can see that you have it installed. Even with the display, if mounted in a good location when it's turned off most cops wouldn't have a clue that it's a radar.
I have my cheap 6-band Cobra Radar Detector on my winshield just above the dash. I hardwired the power lead behind the radio and ran the wire up through the side of the defogger vent opening. There is about 2" of wire visible going from the detector to the vent.
My cheap little $30 detector has saved me many times. As long as the cop you're approaching guns someone else first, your detector will pick it up. If you're driving all alone and get caught by "instant-on," well, then that's just your fault.
My car is extremely loud and I have the detector in plain view, yet I always get away with warnings.
