Work well there? I know the best place is the top above the mirror, but thats not an option. My old Bel Vector 960 worked well on top of the dash... I just don't have any experience with the V1 I ordered earlier today!

Neither. STFA for brax's mount on the sun visor behind the mirror. Best IMO.

Default I've had mine on the dash for years without any issues.....tried it above the mirror for a year and

didn't like not being able to look thru that part of the windshield....I know it's knit picking but preferred the dash location for an unobstructed view.

No problem with rear or side detection, works as was designed to?

Default X-Post: Valentine says mount it high for effectiveness, higher the better

Default I ran my V1 for years in the middle of windshield where it met the dash....

A few months ago (maybe even 6), I moved it to the top driver's side corner of the windshield with the wiring hidden behind the driver's side A pillar and I much prefer thiis setup.


FWIW, I've *never* gotten a speeding ticket with either one...going 5 years strong.
