I don't like it mounted above the 3-pod gauges, but I don't know where else in the Z it could possibly go.

As in the photo, I put my RD just above those three gauges using windshield mount with suction cups.
At first it was hard for me to get the exact spot of suction attached, but now I can do it rather easily. It is mounted in very stable condition if attached well.
If you put your RD near the rear-view mirror, it would be good for your RD to detect coming radar signals on its high position, but in the opposite it is pretty bad to get laser detection.
Usually LEOs would aim at your number plate and the threatening lasers (speed gun) emit by very narrow width/height.
Actually in most cases it will be too late for you to beat it when you get the alert unless you have additional laser defense kit installed, but anyway you'd better put your RD (Radar and Laser Detector) close to your number plate as possible if you want laser detection.
* Be careful. In some states the laser defense kits are illegal.
