First, you have to decide the placement where the detector has a clear view of the road, and you can avoid tickets. Aim straight to the road and do not block the antenna behind wipers or anything. Thus, the windshield is the best place. High on windshield or mid-windshield are both good options. Then, you have to manage the tangled cords as well. You can tuck the power cord through the headlining to keep it sorted. If you are able to follow the right approach and handle little things properly, the detector will work without errors.
