I've semi-permanently mounted both my original Passport (circa 1988) and V-1 in both my cars on the visor immediately next to the rear-view mirror. Power wires are run along the pillar inside/behind the plastic clip-on trim piece. If you do it well enough, your passengers will think it's factory mounted.

Unless you specifically look for it, there's no way you'd see it from the outside unless you bend down and look from the driver's eye-level. The tint bar that runs the length of the windshield hides it even better.

In anycase, it's certainly a hell of a lot less obvious than mounting it dead smack in the middle of the windshield with those cheezy suction cups and wires hanging all over the place :-)
