middle of the vehicle and under the headliner.
rfcv was correct about his descriptions on what you need and what you should use, and the toggle is a great idea.
one thing you will notice is that if your in an area that gets cold, the zone changes with temperature, so in spring and winter you are readjusting your zones. Thats what i hated about my proxi, having to adjust all the time. The best proxi i ever had was made by a radar detector company, Cobra. I bought it with my crimestopper alarm, and had to diode isolate with the shock sensor, but it worked awesome, the zones were very close from season changes, so not much adjusting. The DEI ones i have used were very sensitive on the adjustments, seemed like you spent more time fiddling with it than installing the alarm. It allowed for adjusting on both zones, which was good, but it just seemed to be a pain in the rear. I installed on in my topper of my truck, and that was even worse, I ended up learning a new trick, proxi's need some sort of shield, and a fiberglass topper was not gonna cut it. glued some tinfoil to the roof with ca glue, and it became alot easier!!
