Is this possible? In dash radar / Laser detector
Hi guys,
As many others, I want to get rid of the onstar unit. Some have installed cb radios, scanners, rocker panels, etc... All great options but, I was thinking I could adapt a radar/laser detector (something like this)

I don't want to spend gazzillions on a custom unit (like the one pictured above) and was hoping to disassemble a Cobra detector I already own for testing.
My question for the more electronically inclined is, can I separate the radar sensor from the display? Can I locate the sensor in the upper windshield area or maybe even somewhere in the front grill, and install the display and controls in the dash where the onstar unit is? If this is technically possible, I would design a custom panel to fit the single din opening.
Thanks for any advise and please don't be too harsh on me if my idea is simply dumb!
