@rextinctione That is my radar detector, I am trying to decide if I want to move the detector up more (if I do that tho then I will not be able to detect the narrow beam of the police Laser) or I could get a extension for my mount that will give me more mounting options (in my moms car there is a strip of sun blocking material on the top of the windshield that the mount wont suction to so I have to mount it lower) I may also be able to try hanging the mount from the sunroof
@rextinctione It all depends on what you want to detect, many cops still use radar because its cheaper and since radar fans out over a large distance you can place the detector anywhere you want and it will still pick it up, but if you want to detect laser also, you have to mount it lower so that it is close to the point were the cop will aim the lidar gun since laser only has a beam width of 3ft. even w/ that, lidar takes 0.3 seconds to aqquire your speed so laser jammers are also commonly used
@wmuav8tor I have more options on were to mount the camera too, I just needed to get somewhere today and didnt really have time to play around with the placement today ;)
@wmuav8tor hmmmmm I didnt think radar detector was kinda difficult like that! I thought it can stick anywhere and still work very good! but like I said even with that in the way you can still see enought for the cam to do its job but I do hope you find a solution!
@wmuav8tor As I have it now the camera is upside down and I just use video editing software to rotate the image before I post it ;)
Thx for watching!

nice the radar or what ever that is kinda bugs me that its there in the way! but the cam does its job and and its not blocking any view right?
