Just a caveat, my Belltronics detector has the "laser" receiver sensor on top of the unit so in an overhead install it should be mounted upside down with the top and buttons facing down.

Right now I have mine mounted on the dash which is fairly inconspicous as well from outside the car except for the power cord going to the lighter socket.

Nice work though documenting your install, I had considered an overhead location as well but went the easy route for now. Perhaps I'll try a relocation to above as well.
