Rear View Mirror Radar Detector Mounts and Placement

A rear view mirror radar detector mount can keep a compatible unit high and discreet, but the best position depends on the windscreen, mirror assembly, sensor layout and the detector maker’s instructions. A windshield suction cup mount is easier to move between cars; a dashboard mount may suit a vehicle with a clear, level surface. Before fitting anything, preserve the driver’s view, avoid airbags and camera or rain sensors, and make sure the device cannot obstruct controls. For a Tesla Model S or any other car, check model-specific mounting guidance rather than assuming a universal bracket will fit.
