So much V1 love lately!!! I posted this up in another thread yesterday. Here's my set-up. Here are the YouTube videos of my modified concealed display. This is the stock start-up and this is the modified concealed display start-up.
The actual V1 unit is located as close to the top of the windshield as possible while still allowing the rear radar horn to see out of the back window. I have a concealed display located where the hazard button should be so that I don't have any stray roadtrippers trying to tail me and mooch of my detector The LEDs were changed out for easy radar bend recognition

Love the way you hardwired it in. I'm considering getting one but when I see the cables running through the cabins of the car I just ... Anyway, how long did it take you to get it wired so nicely up there?

thats a very clean setup u got. I remember you commented that I should hardwire my x50 in and definitely looking to do that as well. I may be going off topic but i wish our cars came with the top portion of the windshield shaded/tinted. I had my radar mounted right near that cutoff line in my other car and I love how it kind of concealed the radar. Now with the evo, the radar just sits there for everyone to see

It took maybe an hour or so including tapping into the 12V power source It's really not terrible at all and I definitely recommend you doing so! Seeing the long cord hanging down is just another excuse for an officer to pull you over

The only thing you need to worry about with a tinted upper portion of the windshield is that sometimes there are instances of metal in the tint and this can have a negative effect on the performance of your radar detector. Your detection range can decrease significantly as a result of the interference

I have had not one, but TWO V1's stolen from me. One broke into the M3 and smashed some stuff, and the same to the evo and caused a few scratches. I don't have pics of the M3, but here are some of the Evo.
Haven't had the heart to purchase a 3rd one yet.

Much appreciated, thank you I'm all for hardwiring because it looks cleaner and draws a little less attention to an already eye-catching car

I installed mine via a fuse tap, wire up the a-pillar and tucked under the headliner

I've got mine mounted exactly where 201 has it... its great cuz I've actually been pulled over and the cop didn't see it AT ALL. In addition I got the tint band strip up there, so the V1's front sensor sits JUST below the tint... very stealth. I'll tkae pix l8r...
