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

I'm a new Z owner, and have a radar detector and a dash cam. For those that have either/both, do you remove it and hide it in the center console every time you park? Or do you leave it hanging on the inside of the windshield?

I'm just worried someone might break in and take my stuff, I don't live in a particularly bad area or anything. I used to hide it but it became such a hassle after a while, but I'm not sure if I should get back in the habit again.

I leave mine hanging but I park in a garage at night and work has security that patrols the parking lot constantly.
If I was going to a movie theater or something I would probably take them down to keep them out of sight and out of mind of curious people.

In the 370Z, I leave my V1 attached to its bracket mounted on the rear view mirror pole. I have oversized, very dark (5%) windshield strip that keeps the V1 out of sight. In my other vehicles, the V1s are attached to their brackets with suction cups and they are tucked up high almost hugging the headliner above the rear view mirror. These also have oversized, very dark windshield strips to help hide the V1s.

I have no dash cam.

My Escort sits on a Blendmount. I only remove and stow it if the car's going to be parked for awhile like long-term airport, or an overnight stay at a hotel in the Twin Cities.

I keep my Dashcam rolling in the car as it has parking mode feature. It records everything. Well... if someone broke in and jack my dashcam.... fck. On second thought brb, heading out to install viper alarm:wtf2:

My dash cam is built into my rear view mirror and my Escort 8500 stays mounted, but I honestly never park my cars anywhere out of my site for an extended period of time and it stays garaged, but I will admit my neighborhood and surrounding areas are pretty much crime free. Georgia is full of gun owners and licensed carriers and in small towns like mine things rarely happen here especially knowing people have the right to bare arms and fight back. I'm originally from New Jersey and trust me, it's a whole different world from the two especially when it comes to car security.

Out of Sight
 

Really easy to put em outta sight.

:iagree:

My radar detector is easy to put out of sight, but my G1W dashcam is a pain in the @ss to take off its mount.

It's really the only issue, so I might just hide the radar detector since the dashcam is a lot harder to notice than the detector.

I keep the G1W plugged in, yes, big hassle to take off with that stupid mount.

I also have the cheapie G1W-C. I just leave it.

same here. i just do some karate moves and people dont mess with me either.

I fire my shotgun into the air a few times when I park my car.

I break boards with my face and then point at people.

:rofl2: ouch
