Those with radar detectors/dashcams, do you hide them?

I found that aggressively flexing in the direction of anyone walking by is sufficient enough, the rest is just overkill.

dont tell EW cause he might release something extra while flexing..

I have never removed my radar (have it on a blendmount) but I just purchased a $250 dollar Dash Cam. I really want to remove it but I also have "Parking Mode" on there (records while car is parked) so I cant really remove it. I just hope for the best lol

I have had the Escort 8500 X50 for YEARS. I always keep in hanging when I park. The only time I take it off the windshield is during the summer with the sun constantly beats down on it.

If you're in a shady area where people may break in then I would hide it too.

just hit the panic button as you walk away from your car. no one wants to mess with a car that already has the alarm going off, goods are already taken

I have a V1 on a Blendmount. I remove the V1 and take it with me every time I exit the car with the exception being the odd ocassion where I can see the car from where I am. I figure it just avoids being the victim of a quick smash and grab.

I use a 8500 in a weathertight box under the front. Run 4 wires through the firewall. 2 for power and 2 for speaker on a switch.

Use the red IR one so the laser still works.
