In the state of california is it legal to have a GPS device or a radar detector attached to your windshield with suction cups? I over heard sombody saying that you cannot have anything mounted on the inside of your windshield, is this true?

I park my car on my driveway and it is sunny and sometimes gets up to 90 degrees outside. Is it okay to leave these on the windshield as far as heat and sun goes? I am not worried about anyone stealing them.

Why does my radar detector go off when I get near a school bus?

ese_wolfie asked:


If I pass a school on the road, my radar detector starts to go crazy. Do they have some sort of radar emitting device specifically designed to make those with radar detectors go for their first instinct and slow down when it chirps? Or is it some sort of GPS (or something else) that they have,and having radar detectors go off is merely an attractive coincedence?

Just wondering. Thanks.

Jeremy asked:


Yesterday I purchased a GPS and I feel like I need to take some security measures for my car to prevent my electronics from being stolen. Along with the GPS I have an iPod connected to a Harman/Kardon Drive+Play unit, an Escort radar detector, and an older Alpine radio. As it stands, my car is begging for its window to be broken out and have everything stolen.

I have a car alarm, but as everyone knows, they are almost useless.

I could remove every item (radio faceplate, gps, ipod, radar detector) and carry it with me every time I got out of the vehicle, but this is far too much trouble.

Is anyone aware of a security accessory for their auto electronics? I appreciate any help or suggestions.

I am looking to upgrade my GPS and my fiance wants a radar detector for christmas. I got to thinking that having an all in one unit would be awesome. They have to exist, right? Does anyone know where I could find them?

I’ve googled everything I can think of with no success. Thanks for the help.
