How do you guys wire them, if you connect them to the lighter and put them on the window then the wire will be going across the middle and I dont want that.

^ Best option is a hardwire kit which connects the unit to the fusebox. What I did instead was buy a 12 foot straight power cord for my Escort and ran the wire from the cigarette lighter, under the trim behind the passenger seat, under the passenger door sill, up in the small gap between the dash and passenger door, up the passenger A-pillar trim, and then along the passenger visor into the unit just below my rearview mirror. Not a direct wire because I still have to plug the unit into the 12V when I want to use it, but no wires in the way. I think it looks very neat.

This is the cheap one I want to get. It has pretty good reviews.

I put mine in the lower center of the windshield and have it semi tucked. Worth every penny!

Im thinking about getting a radar detector but I dont have a lot of money. Do you guys think its worth it saving up for the good expensive ones or will a cheaper one be good enough. I dont speed or break laws a lot but when I do I would rather have one. Also what are the differences, some are like $40 while some are like $500, why is the to model sooo much more expensive when they have similar functions.

Don't overlook the existing discussions in the electronics subforum.
There's a bit of subjective preference involved. Don't rely on people blindly suggesting whatever they happen to have. Do your due diligence, use the 30 return period to verify whether or not a given option is suitable to you. There are a lot of good options out there and one size does not fit all.

Yea it is, doesnt bother me though because I have it tied up so its not a mess. Dude if you have a tight budget get the escort I'm living proof that it works, its not one of the annoying ones either that goes off every 2 seconds for no reason.
