what's an easy way to disguise a detector on the dash? I have never owned one, but plan on getting one. Any recommendations? Not expensive ones !!

Cobra 7 band covers all of the radar spectrums. Cost? Less than a speed ing ticket.

Yes very easy. The detector still slides on the same rail the factory mount uses. The suction cup mount is easy as well, you flip the lever and pull it off the window. Either one takes two seconds.

Unit has a sticky area that can be uncovered. I do not use the sticky area but just set in on the dash and it stays. Does not mark the dash.

You can download the iRadar (by cobra) app from the App Store. I use it to configure the Radar Detector and gain access to the Aura Database (warnings while driving).

It depends on your dash configuration..mine slopes down and forward so I have to place it back on the dash so that the detector is not pointing toward the hood but down the road.

I would get the wire harness adapter and if needed the after market bracket adapter... I can't picture the dash.lol

There's nothing on it for that purpose but double sided tape or Velcro should do it. I see them on car dashes often so that must work well enough

Not sure what you mean. It is undetectable, but I believe radar detectors are illegal in commercial vehicles.

No, I had to wire it into a hot wire under the dash. I found a hot wire under the dash that in only one when the key is on with a multimeter and spliced into it. Works great. One other hint, I installed the sensors closer to the curve of the bumper on my van so the sensor would pickup objects off to the left and right of the rear of the vehicle. Most of the time when you back up you are at an angle and doing this will handle that.

This is a mobility detector. If anybody is about 1 meter from the vehicle it will actvate your car alarm system. It is not an alarm system, it is just an additional device to the car alarm system.

Yes, just make sure you use some type of shim to level the detector. I use a rolled up washcloth and place it between the visor and the ceiling of my car. Anything will work as a shim that doesn't damage your car.

In some states, the windshield mount is illegal. In other states, the detector is illegal. This page tells you about windshields http://gpstracklog.com/2014/07/gps-windshield-mounts-illegal-half-u-s.html This page tells you about detectors http://www.ebay.com/gds/Radar-Detectors-and-the-Law-What-You-Need-to-Know-/10000000177628850/g.htmlWhen you cross a state line, there is usually a sign stating the detector rules visible very soon, so watch for it. You may be glad you did. This detector has saved me more times than I know. Highly recommended.

Get a proximity sensor and talking module. It will help alert when people get too close to your car

do the police have their own devices to detect whether drivers are carrying radar detectors on board; if so, is this device able to escape that detection?

I just prop mine up on something but you could always try something like Velcro strips - they're cheap and can be removed off your car if need be - depends on where you want it placed I guess. I've used Velcro on my dash before and it worked good.

Get the 'bean bag' dash mount that Amazon sells - worth every penny! http://tinyurl.com/nzzcrvx

Yes, it is very easy. Push the button on top of the detector and slide it off the mount. Alternatively, the Sticky mount comes off easily with the tab puller, complete with the detector, if the detector is mounted close to the windscreen, and the button on top is inaccessible.
