This 2011 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG can really move, so it has been equipped with a K40 RL360 radar detector system and Escort ZR4 Shifter laser jammer.

In early 80´s I was young and dreaming with the Space Shuttle Columbia launches and how to track it over the heaven of the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. But then it was very difficult because there was no web and any orbit coordenates... But despite this and using a simple program in basic language and news from newspapers and radio station Voice of America, finnaly I get good results. I saw the space shuttle in orbit when crossing the sky of that city. My next step was, with aid of corner antenna and a diode detector on the focus, to detect the radio signals of first experiments of SAR- Side Looking Radar on board of Columbia STS-2...and also the Soviet radar that was on a spy satellite observing the british fleet in Falkland (Malvinas) war. But unsuccessfully , because I did not know where that time was the Soviet satellite. With the aid of that single home made radar detector then it was possible to listen three our local early warning radar to the range of 150 km (94 miles), a local air traffic and a weather radar! That was only my old amateur radio microwave experiment.
This is how we mount our Valentine One radar locators in our vehicles. It allows us swap our two V1s between our four vehicles.
The standard suction cup mount is used in this application.
I used two pieces of angle aluminum joined together with two machine screws. The angle of the mounted V1 is critical so the aluminum is bent so that the V1 is parallel to the ground.
Holes are drilled in the aluminum and tapped for 10-24 machine screws.
It is placed as high as is possible and still allow for pressing down on the removal tab on the mount.
5-minute epoxy is used to adhere the angle aluminum to the glass. After the epoxy cures, the mount is screwed to the aluminum.
The V1 slips into place and the power cable is plugged in.
The mounted locator is not visible from the outside of the car because it is behind the dark tinted portion of the windshield. This seems to have no effect on the sensitivity of the laser detector.
This high position is ideal for both the front and rear, radar and laser locator sensors.
The power supply module is wired to turn on with the ignition.
