Escort Radar Install

I just finished the install of a remote SRX Escort Laser Shifter , Laser detector and Radar Detector. Not much to see but I thought I would share it with you. Turned out great. There is nothing to see inside the cabin except for a mute switch.

Is there only sound or do you have an LED read out?

Did you pull the power from the rear fuse box?

Thanks...

I put the LED in the Dome light in the center so it just looks like a normal light up there. Can't really see it during the day, but it is good at night

Passport told me the shifters should be spread out as far as possible on the bumper. Each of the two units should be between halfway between the license plate and the side of the car.

EDIT: I can't really tell from the picture, but I'm not sure if the front shifters are sticking out far enough to be effective either.
