The display sits up in the headliner, next to the mirror
Showtime Audio placed the color OLED display of the PRO II DUO in the headliner console of the XM, right beside the rearview mirror. It is in the driver's natural line of sight, nothing sits on the dashboard or the windshield, and the magnetic display still comes off in one motion when the car is parked.
It is a good example of what to discuss before any custom installation: where the display goes decides how the system feels every day.

Front and rear coverage in a brand-new XM
GENEVO PRO II DUO uses two radar antennas, one at the front and one at the rear of the car, mounted out of sight behind the bumpers. The directional arrows on the display show whether a signal comes from ahead or from behind, and the GPS part of the system warns about fixed speed and red-light cameras. Nothing is attached to the windshield of the XM.
Showtime Audio documented the installation on their YouTube channel: part 1 covers the planning and the antenna locations, part 2 the finished car.
