I would put it up high, next to the rear view mirror. You could pull power off the moonroof, if you have that option.

since 3IS interiors are similar to the RC. I hardwired my escort to a fuse near the pedals and ran the silence button as so. I ran the power cord to the detector to mount at the bottom of the windshield. I thought about hanging it from the rear windshield but it was too intrusive visually to me. It is easier to look at when mounted where I put it

Late to the party:
Uniden R7. I love this thing used windshield suction mount for a while until it kept falling (both in extreme heat and blistering cold weather). Now I use the blendmount. It's mega sturdy! Far more reliable. Tapped into the mirror. Super easy to do. Took all of 1 minute to tap and took 10 mins to get the Blendmount positioned exactly how I wanted it to be leveled and aimed. Super easy.
