Mines under the dash below the steering wheel...it is easy to find, but invisible to anyone else...also can be removed with no marks.
I second getting a pro install...
I was getting a lot of false warnings from behind and noticed whenever a Nissan was behind me was when i got it...it only set off the Escort, not my Blinders. So my installer did a slick job of putting metal tape he painted black over the rear Escort Laser Jammers...no more falses and I am still protected.
Other than that it has worked great...no tickets!
