Radar mounting on the side OK?
I just bought a Uniden R3 and I absolutely hate having loose cables dangling in the windshield, so I ran the cord inside the panel on the side and behind the seal of the door, so it’s completely out of site. but I mounted the R3 on the top left of the windshield (so the cord would be hidden) even though the instructions said to mount it in the middle. Will it still work fine where it is mounted now, or the field of view be messed up? Do I need to move it to the middle and just deal with seeing the cord?
Also, my car has a stripe of blue tint on the top of the windshield from the factory. Will that mess with the radar detector? Is it OK to mount it behind that tint or does it need to be below it?
Car is a 5th gen Toyota Avalon V6
