Default Valentine One

ok so i've been searching and searching but this new site is really getting on my nerves.
I decided to pick up the valentine one radar detector after days of searching around and reading on it but now im stuck.

For those that have one, What spot did you mount it on? With such a small interior i'd hate a cord going across the cabin. I already read the DIY on how to hardwire it so that part will be done but i just wanted to see what location you guys gave it. Maybe post a pic or two.

I found something called "BlendMount" but their site doesnt have anything compatible for the s2000 and i wanted to see if anyone here gave the universal one a try and if it worked before i buy it.

Thanks in advance guys, and again sorry for a repost on this topic but all the old threads have pictures that cant be seen anymore or s2ki's new site sucks and its being really slow lately. Cant be sitting here waiting forever to have a thread load up.

Exactly the same here.

The BlendMount won't work. You don't want your RD under the mirror anyway. Mount it high as possible and as out of view as possible (with the top up anyway).

Mines just left of the rear view as well. Just remember to unplug it when you leave the car with the top down, or it'll be gone.

right in the fusebox under the dash...one of the 3 spades (one of which is switched power)...you can route it easily down the A pillar trim
