You have wires.... if anything id mount it high, with a stealth cord... and if you dont have a power mirror, id still mount it high, and then run the wire like a big C around the windshield to the fuse box..

Mounting it higher is def an advantage.

Did you put a switch inline?

Or you have the guts to not have the ability to turn your "im lookin for trouble lights" on if you get pulled over!?

Hyun, the white one is the power cable and the black is correctly as you assumed, aux

It's a cell phone holder that I converted for the ipod

mounting your radar detector up top is better for detecting radar but if you have laser detection mounting it lower is better for laser, and the tint does affect the reception of radar......i dont know how much it really does affect it but on most major radar brands web sites they do say avoid mounting it where tint is at. and you dont have to worry about getting in trouble with cops because the only states its illegal is Washington dc and Virgina. and military bases you can have them but they have to be off
