Has anyone had success using this to clip the radar to the headliner? If you made any modifications please describe.

I modified the windshield suction clip by removing the suction cups and sliding the edge under the edge of the headliner and the windshield. I have not tried to modify a visor clip.

I'm not sure how you would make it attach to a headliner (wouldn't work like that on any of my cars). I would think another concern would be ensuring it's at the right angle and that the car's metal roof isn't interfering with the signal.The good thing about using the visor, is you can adjust the angle of the detector for optimal reception.

Not headliner, but i use it on my sun visor. Had to bend it open just a little to get it to fit right. Has a good line of sight.

Linda, I'm uncertain if you can use this for a radar detector. What I do know is if your radar detector comes with a suction cup base then I would certainly think it would work. The round bases are made of very hard plastic or Bakelite and is made for a suction type of attachment that ultimately holds articles that you place upon it. Mine worked great for a GPS. Hope this explanation helps you.

I never used the product to clean the headliner. Maybe try a small area first and see, I would think ? it would work.

BS"DThank you Imrational. I was about to return this and buy a different one and I followed that link and it worked really well. http://www.outlawradio.us/CCrane_Mod.html

I considered buying the track clip pro as well but decided against it after reading some reviews stating how fragile it is. The benefits didn't seem to justify the additional $. Unless your monitor is facing direct sunlight and you hate wearing a cap indoors, then the track clip pro will be the way to go. Else the standard reflectors works just fine and it seems very responsive to me. No discernible lag whatsoever.

Perhaps I don't understand your question.. to get from the radio to the windshield, your use coax from back of radio to inside stick on passive drvice.. the signal is then passed through the 1/4 inch of glass to the outside passive device and out the antenna. Do not shorten the coax, and do not roll it up.. that can cause problems.. so I guess the short anser is NO .. it will ruin the radio.. Dan kb7uxe. find me on the internet by that id. kb7uxe.. I will gladly clarify any other questions you may have. either yahoo or gmail to my id kb7uxe. :)

As an audio store owner of 20 years I have not seen these devices in the past work well at all. I purchased this one not long ago to see if technology has changed recently but it hasn't. I would not purchase this device. You need to try to find one of the better brands that actually boost the signal. I would look for an antenna replacement that has the booster built in. It will probably have an external antenna that you will need to run up to the windshield. They cost more but you get what you pay for. Good luck!

Unless your dashboard is receptive to the suction cup on the bottom of the device (my car has a vinyl dash)my initial response would be no. The window mount partially obstructs the front of the radar detector ( mine is a Cobra) and I found that this interferes with it's performance as it calls for a clear view of the road from the windshield. Good Luck.

I would guess that it picks up radar 2-3 miles in advance if they are pinging other cars. as far as updatable, I do not know since I just purchased mine recently but would be surprised if it was not

I'm positive it will work for this application. I urge you to follow the directions to the letter. My headliner is still holding strong after several months.Best of luck to you with your project.

I have not used it for that but what I did use it for barely worked due to channel programming issues. At the parking lot it was fine on one frequency channel but when we got into the field and switched to another frequency channel it didn't work for some reason. If you do end up getting it based on someone's answer who has used it for aviary purposes, be sure to use a computer to program the frequencies. This radio does not come with a programming cable.

I have attached Car Black Box to EZ pass transponder on windshield using Scotch Hook and Loop Fastener Tape, 2" x 3".It works OK

Detects radar used with speed trap areas. Has free app database that shows known trap areas. Simply put no. It doesn't detect the camera itself. Most of those spots don't activate radar til you run the redlight .. So..... Goodluck. Haven't had a ticket since I bought it

No, mine works good, the only thing i dont like about it is the little plastic piece that holds up the radar on the windshield is weak and if not supported thr device will hang, so i mount this device above my rear view mirror so the mirror helps hold it up, other than that it works great, except when cop uses instant on, that suks but not really radars fault

If you use a pen or screwdriver to widen the hole and wet the hole it will "screw" onto the antenna. I use it that way on my car.

The included external antenna works surprisingly well . I live in a remote location and have always had to modify my radio antennas. I believe the five to one tuning ratio is helpful in this regard allowing very fine tuning

Not sure if it would work for a radar detector. It is for use with one large suction cup, if I remember correctly most radar detectors have 2 small cups and I think it would be to wide for the suction surface. Hope this helps
