I think the little cutout is only on the F-Pace
on the XF, there are little spaces on the bottom left and right corners that do not have the electric coils....but those are not optimal places for radar detectors.
Ive made a similar post in the past, people responded with good information

I had an XF with heater coils. Everything worked fine. 2017 F Type --> same heater coils but added IR attenuation. Nothing works unless high up in the cutouts.

So, from this thread and some others it looks like a windshield mounted radar detector won't work for my 2018 w/heated windshield? FWIW - I have an EZ tag (toll tag) transponder on my windshield but according to my account it's always camera toll (vtoll or iop-i transaction) vs my suv which is always transponder toll (avi transaction).
TIA

My last post that you replied to contains the answer. It's not the heating elements. All of the windshields beginning in 2017 contain IR attenuation that blocks radar detectors and toll tags. There is a small cutout next to the rear view mirror but you can't successfully mount a radar detector there.
