Good call! How much did it cost in the end? Would love to do that but would need to do it to a couple of cars...

If you use the remote display, where does the main detector go?

The main detector still needs a front and rear view, so it usually stays in the same place. It goes dark when the remote display is used, though.

That is very cool but I would say that it is more like an 8 on a difficult scale of 1-10.

 It doesn't look like too expensive a job though.As far as hooking it up for several cars, the remote usint is only $40.00, so you could buy one for each car and run the poawer cable to an adapter under, or at the bottom ov your dash. Then, you just need to move the V-1 from car to car and plug it into the under-dash jack. Randy

I think it looks great, but the fact that the main unit still has to be displayed is still the main issue for me.
I got a ticket on 1/1 and she noticed the radar detector (somewhat of a challenge to her) so concelling that is important as well.

I moved mine to this location as well. Here's a thread on how to wire up the unit to be as "stealth as possible" in a Targa. Probably work better in a coupe. V1 Stealth Install in 911

How about smashing out the seat belt warning light and putting it in there?
On your (newer) car that hole will be just about the right size - it's 2x as tall as on the old cars.

Just thought I'd mention that my wife's V1 saved me a ticket yesterday. I normally don't use one, but I bought her one since she gets tickets. I was in her car going through East Texas at a rather high rate of speed after clearing a pack of slower cars when it went off. I'd be bummed at getting a ticket, but I'd really be embarrassed getting busted after working through the slower pack

That is so cool. My Bel 980 has been dying slowly and I need some motivation to pull the trigger on a V1.
