Can it be mounted under a car or does it have to be exposed to the sky

you can put it anywhere you want, in a car or under a car if you get the magnetic steel box that has the two magnets on it. stick anywhere on vehicle you want under car, top of wheel well , aniywhere it will stick out of sight

There is a weatherproof enclosure with a magnet on it that I bought and used to put it on the trailer hitch of the vehicles I monitored.

I never got that far because of the subscription cost but I know they sell a magnetic holder.

Yes, it worked very well. The only time I lost comms was in parking garages.

It is designed to be mounted above the License plate, but it's yours you can mount it anywhere you want. As far as the install, on my car stereo there are jacks for it, and you need to purchase a fuse cable from Autozone or whoever so you will not blow it up. Its not hard.

You should be able to mount it but u might have to take the bumper off to get to the frame or to a sturdy metal part of the car

I believe so. I just mounted mine yesterday under an eave and it was no problem. I mounted the solar panel on the roof above the unit. The only problem was getting the motion sensor settings correct. Just follow what they say in the instruction manual.

If it's stuck facing the sky, you got something mounted backwards (likely the arm). Mine sits at about 80 degree angle from the base which is perfect while driving.

As I understand it YES. Assuming that you have a plug-in car. What is NOT covered is installation. Just unit and mounting kit (if purchased). Unless you have it installed as part of a SOLAR PANEL system.

Currently I have it sitting in an open spot behind the hood. I didnt see a need to try and mount it.

It is not weather proof, so if it was mounted outside the operational life would probably be quite short.

No, it can only be mounted on a level, horizontal surface. It does not appear to work at all in a moving car however.

Yes you can, it mounts on the roof part in front of the sunroof. use an alcohol wipe where it will stick to the roof.

It has to be either under the hood or under the truck frame. We had to mount it under the truck due to not enough space under the hood.

It won't really interfere with the roof. It can be mounted just about anywhere on the rain gutters or rails. Maybe about half of the sunroof would be covered at least. But this is a fantastic roof basket and perfect for anything that you may need to put up there.

I would not leave it out in direct sun light every day. Under a car port or patio would be okay.

Looking at the one I have, I don't think I would mount it without protection from the elements. Direct rain wouldn't do it any good. My manual that came with it said nothing about where to mount it, only leave space for air circulation. I'm using mine in a 5th wheel camper. Hope this helps. Great product.

Sun Shade just slips over the GPS from the top. Should not interfere with dash mounting; with that being said, GPS unit is huge. I bought it for my RV. it would look strange in a mid size car.

I do not think so, it is probably too heavy and too large to do so. It will block your view out of the windshield and more than likely get you stopped or fined by the police for having an obstructed view. I have a 1994 land rover discovery II that has an overhead consol and fits perfectly without blocking the view. If possible try to mount it high from the ceiling of your vehicle close to the windshield without blocking your view. I hope this will help's

I would not use it outside as it is not weather tight. In a place without direct exposure, it may work for a while.
