Honestly on dash or in dash...valentine1 is the best there is just nothing that comes close... Once you live with arrows you will never go back to being without em... i seen people custom install it under their rear view mirror... if you are willing to do that... that is the best solution.

These detectors go for $400 on the valentine1.com
Trust me... don't settle for anything less....

Its better to have a useful product that doesn't look good than a useless product that looks nice inside the dash.

But if you are hellbent on getting something that looks good beltronics would be the right choice, even though they are less effective and do not come with arrows they are still rather reliable, but other than that all other radar detectors... that are sold for low prices are completly useless...
