How do you hide it without a box so that it is exposed to the sky?

The trace is weatherproof. You can mount it inside or outside. Make sure the spot logo faces up Towards the sky,and the trace box is not covered by metal. Spot provides double sided tape, screws, Velcro and a mounting bracket for the trace. If you get one, read the tutorial, it's pretty good and informative as well.

I attached mine to the rear glass near the antenna. It is unobtrusive and works just fine. If you don't have an antenna in your rear glass, just install the unit, using the glue and Velcro, and it looks like it is part of the car. When it's time to change the battery (about 3 months), remove, using the Velcro, and it's a simple change. USE LITHIUM Batteries.

I used industrial two-way tape that I got from the hardware store to attach to the case. Then I attached the case to the inside of a fiberglass bumper in the front of the car (much the same way you would a hidden key box). That way it was completely clear of metal on the front side of the car. I had no issues with a signal whatsoever. it worked like a champ.

There is a transparent cover. The box us completely enclosed. Nothing will fall out!

To hide both the lights control box and the cord the headboard would need to be 2 1/8 inches from the wall. Otherwise you would only need about 1/2 inch of space to hide the cord if the box was sitting right at the top of your headboard. Hope this helps.

Someone on here had a great idea of hiding it behind a picture! Something I never though of but would even be easy in this respect to hide the wire in the wall if you are super OCPD. Worth a try!

You cannot see through it. I have it in front of a window to shade from morning sun. It's very light weight wood and some sort of paper. I wouldn't put it in front of a heater.

A light covering will work; it's very sticky and effective. We applied it along our wood privacy fence (where our pesky bird would land) and used the tape (reflective aspects frightens the woodpecker).

It would need to be under cover. The base is heavy enough, but I don't see it holding up to "the elements".

You, probably, should never leave it on direct sunlight, especially in parking mode. Just disconnect and hide it - it will be much safer.

I wouldn't place this in a bare attic, bc of the fiberglass dust PLUS the heat. Why not hide it on a top shelf of a closet, and just use wire ties on a metal grill shelf to hold 2 large fans to move air across it? You can "build" a hide place with an up side down large boot box with slits.

I would not leave it out in direct sun light every day. Under a car port or patio would be okay.

Peel the plastic film off the solar panel. It is there to protect the solar cells during shipment.

No you can't....but you can always hide it behind the screen or tape it up !

Hang it from a rack where you can see it without opening the door. Middle shelf is best

We used it to cover our skylights. It isn't reflective but I guess you could make a shade out of it if you were an experienced seamstress or tailor. It would block bright light like one of those pull down shades you see at many restaurants.

There isn't a place to hide wires coming down from ceiling. Only suggestion is to run wires in back of pipe and hold in place with zip ties. I mounted my cable box and gaming consoles on shelf below tv were wires are barely visible.

When the light is behind it, you can see through it somewhat. I wouldn't get this for privacy.
