The Detector itself IS visible from outside the car in daylight, but you have to look for it, as it's mounted VERY high

Right. Mine is mounted in the very top leftmost corner of the windshield. From outside the car, you can't see it from the front unless you crouch down becasue the top five inches of the windshield are very heavily tinted (the radar/laser sensors are just barely below the tinting so the sensitivity is not affected) and you can't see it from the side because the view is blocked by the windshield post. Rear sensitivity is unimpeded because it "looks" over my shoulder to the rear. The power lead is fed inside the windshield post, under the headliner, directly into the V-1, with maybe an inch of wire actually exposed.
