Dash Mounted Radar Detectors: Choosing a Safe Position

A dash mounted radar detector can suit vehicles where windshield placement is inconvenient, provided the unit and mount support dashboard use. Choose a location with a clear path ahead and a display you can glance at briefly. Keep it away from airbags, instrument panels and controls. Confirm the approved mount, check the surface holds securely, and route cables clear of pedals and moving parts. Reception may vary with vehicle materials and placement, so follow your model’s instructions.
