Default RS4 Radar Detector?

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums so let me introduce myself. I'm an owner of an 07 RS4 and was wondering if anyone new of any way to integrate a radar detection system into the car? I would love to have it tucked away in an ashtray or something of that sorts so I dont have a tacky looking console hanging from my windshield. My brother has an '03 BMW M5 and has the Valentine One radar system in his car built right into his ashtray. Anyone know of anything of this sort for the rs4?

There was some custom company that integrated it into the rearview mirror, I’m sure it was not cheap and I’m sure some of the more seasoned guys have more information on this topic.

I had dealer install the stealth K40 system into my R8 before picking up. Is awesome, Just two little LED lights on my dash. Have a little remote that controls everything, can have it signal with the lights and tone or lights and voice that tells you type of radar and whether it's in front or behind you. Even has the laser jammer mounted under front plate. A bit pricey but worth every penny

Let me take a pic of my V1 setup. Basically, the wires are all concealed and it hangs right beside the rearview mirror. Its not "fully" integrated in the strict sense, but I prefer this since I can always take off the unit, swap it out, or whatever. I think it looks good.

I do the same.
I tap into the wiring up top, where the sunroof controls are and my V1 is on the left side of the rear view mirror. Its great and not in your way at all.
I did it on my M3, but not on the RS4 when I had her.

Yea I have the same setup as ELEVENS.

Did you do it yourself or pay to have someone do it?

I have this setup (Automotive Data Research) and it works splendidly:

I have the ADR interface also, and if you can get it, it rocks. The best part is the auto-mute feature (set the detector to automatically mute when the car is traveling below a certain speed). However, I think ADR is out of business?
