Plus, with your location on the dash, that's much harder to reach the mute button. Plus everyone can see you reaching forward to your dash when you need to mute it.
It all depends on what you actually need from the remote.

Most of the time I have the volume set to very low or almost silent (no audible alert) but not silent dark. I rarely have to use the mute button.
You still have a good idea, I was just wondering why you were hiding the remote (you answered my question).

I've had this done for a couple of years now. I don't like driving other peoples car because of not having my Passport. 
I have my remote mounted where your radar is Epacy, and the radar is mounted on top of my clock. My power source is from the sunroof controls.
