Default Where do you keep your stuffs?

I'm currently trying to get some ideas of where people put items, such as a radar detector in their car. I'm really **** and I want to try to hide the wires. My current setup puts my radar detector behind windshield wipers. I also have a tomtom which is right next to it, closer to the drivers side. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas, pictures, etc about where to put these items.


On a side note, I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to know if anyone has theirs mounted somewhere. I currently have the tape with the 3.5mm headphone jack and I just plug it in and put my iPod upside down in the cup holder.

Where do you keep your stuffs?

I have seen people mount them above the drivers sunvisor and then run the wires to the cigarette lighter in the middle glovebox console so its always on regardless. and you could probably do this the same with the tomtom wiring connections too.

My radar detector is below my rear view mirror and I ran the wires through the top over to the a-pillar and down into the cigarette lighter and sliced it in. Just got to remember to turn it off.

I have my GPS in the upper left corner of my windshield and ran the wire down behind the A pillar and up under the dash, then spliced in a 3 socket thingy for it and just plugged in the GPS and my radar detector. The 3 socket thingy is under the dash right under the steering wheel. As for radar detector, its in the typical spot. right inna middle of my windshield as low as i can get it without it being obscured by the stock hood scoop. I'm wanting a better place to mount that myself.

my radar is up by my rear view. I was told to move it from down by my wipers because that may block a signal. i think it works better up top. my wire flows along the top, down the side and looks pretty hidden. As for my ipod, i have a direct wire from the back of my head unit into the glove box. I control my ipod thru the head unit the same way you would on an ipod regularly. i love hiding it, especially since i have a vert!

I don't care if the wires to my radar are hidden or not. I just plug that bitch in and let the wire hang down in front of my console.

I can't put my radar detector above my rear view... The strip across my windshield is solid black vinyl. It would completely block the any signal
