So I've decided to go ahead and order a V1, despite my wife's moaning that "your Escort works just fine" (so do those thousand pairs of shoes you have, honey...explain again why you need a new one?). There's a catch, though.
I've got a 2003 Toyota Corolla CE. I'd love to windshield mount the V1 above my rearview mirror, but there are lots of little plastic "dots" (easiest way to describe them) on the windshield up there. I sincerely doubt that they'd interfere with reception, but they do interfere with suction cups. I got around this with my X50 by mounting low, but I want that V1 up high where it can see for miles around.
There is a space between the top of the RVM and the ceiling, and I'm wondering if there's any way I can use that. Instead of doing the smart thing and just taking a damn picture, I'm going to make a good ol' ASCII diagram of it because I'm too lazy to walk outside with my camera:
--------------------------------- <--fabric ceiling
! ******** ! <--This is the space I'm referring to
! { RVM } !
The ****** crap is the little plastic dots I mentioned, so suction cups aren't an option up there. Are there any secure velcro ceiling-mounts I could get at a Kragen or whatnot, or would I be better off asking my wife to make something up, if she's "sew"-inclined?
If it would be really helpful, I suppose I could get dressed (hooray for days off!) and go outside to take pictures of the interior of the car. Say the word if they're necessary.
