I had mine professionally installed.
the updte/interface & speaker are on the driver's side footwell/under the dash area so don't know if the installer found driver's side easier, as i've got the display above the mirror (wipe off the escort brand logo, so it's not too obvious) & the cntrl module within easy reach, the concealed alert indicator diode behind the center vent louvers.

Of course if u can install the display in the HUD area above the dash, so as to reflect up to the frt. windsheild, that would be superb!!

u need to place the cntrl module within reach to switch off the laser shifter, immediately, when u r hit with the 1st blast of a laser gun, then u slow down b 4 the cops hit u the 2nd time.
If u don't shut off ur shifter, for the cops to get a, hopefully, much lower reading, & u let the shifter work everytime u r being targeted, the cops will get wise that u've got a shifter working & pull u over anyways.
Especially if ur in states where shifters r illegal.

U'll need the concealed diode for night driving when ur not using/shut off the display module because drivers/police car passing in the next lane can see the blue glow.
Make sure the receivers r level, Otherwise they'll be pointing up in the sky @ 1000-1500 ft ahed.
When it comes to where best to mount the front rec'rs. u'll have to compromise between stealth & protection vs. parking damage & a clear unobstructed view ahead.
The rear shifter is easier ovr the licence plate, w/ just enuf rm. to open the hatch manually.

Hope this helps.
