Dot matrix behind the rearview mirror?

The radio "antenna" is part of the matrix in the hatch glass. There are no wires connecting to any part of the windshield - I know, I just had my windshield replaced. The matrix on the windshield is simply there to block the sun between the two visors. I have my detector mounted directly below the rear view mirror and the dots have never interfered with it's function at all.

Since most cars have it on the front I stand corrected then. Thanks making it clear, now I know also.

Thats what I was thinking but had nothing to back up my thought process, thanks for the confirmation.

I ended up mounting the detector to the headliner right in front of the left mounting point for the passenger's sun visor using the Escort visor clip. It works great from there and is almost totally invisible unless your actually looking for it.
