I agree with the NYS 'above the dash' law. I would find it very distracting to have a brightly colored screen in my line of vision. Wish CT would adopt same. I keep mine on a little shelf below the radio of my daily driver. Not visible from outside the car and I can stick it in my pocket when I leave the car on the street or in a parking lot. As long as I can hear it, I'm good to go.
