    Default Anyone doesn't like the concealed display?

    I just got the color concealed display. Am I the only one who doesn't like it?

    I find the color LED's hard to read during the day, especially on a bright sunny day. I think Mike V keeps all the LEDs in red for a reason. Besides, I still think the V1 doesn't look like a V1 without the red LEDs.

    Another thing is I mount it right on top of the instrument cluster hood, so it's in my direct field of view. Looking down at the steering column every time it beeps doesn't cut it for me. However, it's next to impossible to keep the installation clean if I mount it this way since the phone cord going into the concealed display is visible at all times.

    All in all, I'm regretting my purchase so far and really think I can do without it.

    i may have bought mine from the same guy i reckon.

    laser = red

    ka = blue

    k = amber and

    x = green.

    the strength bars are green to amber to red also on mine.

    i must say im surprised you dont like it . i think its very handy by night to see the diferent colour bands and signal strength also.

    Laser = blue and Ka = red on mine. Maybe the CD will grow on me when I spend more time with it. Looking at the V1 right next to the RVM is like a habit to me now.

    Mine isn't a custom color but I didn't like it either. I used it for a few weeks then pulled it and went back to using the V1 display. Of course on the corvette it was in line of sight. Maybe if I had a vehicle with a large cabin and windshield where the V1 was out of the line of sight I would have a different opinion on it.

    I don't have the multi colored CD, but I love mine. I don't see the point in getting colored LEDs' other than for looks. X is off, K is muted and has a very distinct tone which I hear every day, Ka is full volume and has a very distinct tone which I never hear, and you can't mistake laser at all.

    Couldn't agree with you more. Also, the faster the beeping, the more LED's lit; I don't think that they NEED to be green/orange/red...

    Not bashing, just personal preference. (Don't have a CD myself, and probably won't get one. I like the main display, plus its habit...)
