Hi Guys:
Yet another Thread about an install. This Wednesday, my local shop and I will be putting in a new Laser Pro Park Jammer and a Bell STI Driver Radar unit. To avoid getting stopped even while driving a few MPH over the limit I decided that the LPP was the ideal unit of choice.
There are some tests of units here:

Why I decided on the LPP was simple. Results and Customer Service. The USA Rep at Direct Motor Sport, David, spent almost 40 minutes on the phone with me not even trying to sell me a unit. Having been to the site above and doing my research, I was pretty much sold on this unit anyway. If you are interested, contact David, let him know that "Rob" the guy with the SLK55 sent you, and he may give you a better price, or upgrade you to free 2 day shipping like he did for me. He also included the Cheetah Hard wire kit for inside the Vehicle (more on that later).

Anyway, I purchased a 2 Diode Head kit with a Cheetah Wireless Interface. It allows for no firewall drilling!! It even has an Auto-sensing Power ON feature.

Here's the deal:
Since I'm going to do some hardwiring into the cockpit of the SLK55...
Where is the best place to pull 12V switched from? I want to put the wireless laser receiver on the Left Driver side pillar. It's small, and an ideal place to have it out of the way, and Where would YOU guys suggest the mounting of the Bet STI Radar Detector. ( I thought if low, center windshield with the cable running along the glass seam at the bottom, OR, Left of the RV Mirror up top. Can switched power be obtained from the overheads? and How?
The reason for asking these questions: The installer has been doing this for over 20 years, BUT has not done an SLK.
I'd love some pre-install input from my friends here, and then when we get into it all, I'll photo shoot the install. Thanks for the help guys!!

Top Left is the ONLY item in the Vehicle. It's about 3" x 2" and 1/2 and inch thick. You can see the Cig Plug which I won't use. The remaining items are part of the wireless system. (Very Cool)
