I mount my Bel just below the rear view mirror. The suction cups are behind the mirror and the detector hovers below it. If you were in a a car behind me, you'de see what looked like one funky mirror.

well... i just had that panel under the steerin wheel off while installin my cd player. i have my in the lower left corner, and i just ran the cord down the outside left of the dash and under that steering cover and down to the plug. if you want yours in the middle, and have a long enough cord, you could do the same thing. run the cord down to the bottom of your windshield, then over to the left, and under the wheel. your cord isn't long enough probably. just my $.02

I just ran out and took pictures of my setup, but fototime is down and I can't post them right now. I'll post them when it's back up, and/or I can send them to whoever wants them.

I've spliced the cigarette lighter cable ('coz I need the
12V for other things usually anyways) and ran a (phone)
wire on the pass. side (under the carpet, and pushed behind
the inside windshield rubber trim, all the way up and around
so it came out just above the mirror), plugged it into a
phone cord extender (2 female RJ11 sockets), and glued the
extender to the windshield above the mirror.
My detector has a 3" long power cord now, and I plug it into
the extender.
(it's a V1 and it has a RJ11 shaped power cord).
It was a 10 minute project, and there's no dangling wire
anywhere.
To access the cig. lighter wire you have to remove a center
console side panel (very easy).

Here it is, spliced into the dome light. It's always on, so there are no annoying start-up sequences every time you turn the car on. I think it works pretty good.
