i'm in los angeles and i heard we can't mount on the windshield. i mounted mine on the top of the windshield so it's right above my head sort of. i put it where the top tinted part of the windshield so from head on you can't even tell it's mounted there but just gotta find a way to make the wires not so noticeable that's the hard part lol it's fine if i''m just using the battery and not plugged into the car charger.
