Default Radar detector Ideas..

So yeah I know radar detectors basically just show you where the automatic doors are, and where other radar detectors are.. but

Where is the sensor in the radar detector? Im thinking of picking one up, and dismanteling it, mounting the sensor part at the top of my windshiweld, and making a pod for the display elsewhere, flush it in somewhere.. maybe mold it into my a pillar who knows..

I think you should do something like this:

check out this page to see the locations of the sensors:

I've never heard of anyone taking them apart but it shouldn't be an issue because passport sells the remote sensor dectors(they're like 1000-1500).

Let me know if you want some help could be a fun project...

yeah you could scratch the reflective film off the back of the glass. I think they use some like two-way mirror or something, not exactly sure.

im mounted my v1 like that so it has a front and rear view of all that goes on.

in tampa i find that its best not to throw off the x band. the other day i found three cops running it, so it seems they like to mix it up a bit.

i have the remote display which im thinking of putting in the middle gauge pod, not too sure yet.
