    I mounted my passport radar detector in my new Prius last week. I use the sunvisor mount with a homemade rubber shim to level it. Ran the wire under the windshield stick { pull back the weatherstripping] and under the dash to the cigarette lighter with an inline fuse. I want to know I am going the limit or less when I am targeted by radar. Used to do dealer trades and it saved my butt many a time. JWB

    I have my radar detector mounted in a desk drawer. I mounted it there over a decade ago and it seems to be a good place for it, especially now that I drive a Prius.

    So ... you were driving new cars for dealers, hell-bent before
    they were properly broken in? Great to hear, really instills
    some confidence in the automotive sales industry.

    Did I say that or did you make yourself feel superior by saying it? To reiterate if a signal goes off I want to look and make sure I am not inadvertantly going over the limit. In the cases mentioned it could mean a net loss for the day and sometimes the week. Thank you JWB
