agreed melt! I have the whistler thing now it's ok...better than what I had before...Nothing!
You can always have the detector mounted in your dash. On some models they have an extender thingy where it mounts out in front of the car. So, the detector looks like it's part of the radio or something. My dad had that done back in the day in his 90' Reagal GS. It was pretty sweet. They had an optional equalizer for the radio, and he did not get that crap. So, there was like this little empty space, and he had it installed there.
