How NOT to Mount a Radar Detector on your Windshield

How NOT to Mount a Radar Detector on your Windshield Tube. Duration : 1.22 Mins.


During our Speed Trap Hunting San Francisco, we came across another vehicle with a horribly mounted Cobra radar detector on the windshield. Over the years we have seen this type of thing repeatedly by owners of Cobra radar detectors, suggesting many Cobra owners do not have a clue how to properly use a radar detector. This may be the most egregious mount we have ever seen, though. Windshield mount radar detectors should be mounted horizontally facing forward and NOT pointed skyward. Radar detectors receive police radar and laser, not radio stations or satellites. By mounting a radar detector at such an extreme angle, owners will adversely reduce radar detection range and all but eliminate any possibility of getting alerts to police laser.
