Default With ToyGuy V1 stealth display, how do you hide the antennea unit?

It seem kind of silly to have the stealth display if you still got the main unit (with the antennea) in full view on the windshield.

TIA!

depends on the colour of your interior.

Default the idea is that you will not have the bright red lights visible from other cars

on your windshield...especially valable at night. the main unit can be put in some places that aren't obvious from outside the car. To fully "hide" it, you'd probably lose the rear sensor function. i've seen V1's integrated into teh rear view mirror(on some BMW's), but to me that seems pointless as the brightr red indicator lights are still high up and easy to see from other cars...

Default Most of us mount the main unit to the left, right, or above the rearview mirror...

either using the suction cup mount or the visor clip. This way it's relatively obscure from outside the vehicle...to police, thieves, and other drivers. The purpose of the remote display is to allow you to see the display without having to look up. Depending on where you mount it, it also prevents others from seeing the dancing red lights when you're driving at night. The toy guy display integrates the display into the interior so it's very stock-like, It also positions the display near the instrument cluster, so you can look down like you would naturally do when you're glancing at your gauges.

Default I know I will get flamed for this

But I mount mine behind my inspection sticker. on the dash front left corner. I seem to get good rear reception and perfect front reception (in my opinion you have to worry most about front since that's what a non-moving speed trap, your worst offender is going to come from)

I have yet to be dissapointed with this setup (or caught by a cop with a radar gun).

Default well my oncoming is fully exposed, so maybe rear laser is what I give up

But like i said, i actually feel that rear radar detection is not nearly as important as front detection
