    Default V995 and Rx65 in same vehicle.

    I have a V995 and RX65. Would these rds be ok running in same vehicle if spaced far enough apart.

    You will get interference between the two to a variable degree. Any comparison testing you do would be suspect.

    generally not a good idea... what's your reason for doing this anyway?

    One high near headliner for better radar range and one low for better lidar detection if hit.

    you'd be better off mounting it to your rear window for better rear detection :P

    Anyway, general answer is going to be, they'll interfere with each other, but do what you want.

    Ok, If i were to run my v1 which is hardwired as high as possible on the right side of the rvm at the same time as the STi which i would put lower on the left side of rvm do u think there would be interference? I mean the STi doesn't leak really anything at all and the v1 is magnesium (along witht he STi) to keep unwanted interference out.

    I would "think" that the STi would be affected by the V1 but that the V1 would be unaffected by the STi??

    This would seem to make sense to me. Sometimes I run both my STi and 9500i at the same time just for kicks. The two RDs are spaced pretty close together on either side and above my rear view mirror. My 9500i seems to be unaffected by my STi, yet the 9500i's LO emissions seem to "kick" the STi into displaying a one bar stronger alert compared to when the 9500i isn't running.

    If you are going to try running two RDs together just for fun, space them two or more feet apart and no higher than six inches down from the top of your windshield. Then hope that they don't seriously interfere with each other. Don't mount them low where the RD LO emissions can reflect off of your windshield wipers or off of edges on your car's hood. If one of the RDs is an STi, you can mount the STi really low and mount the other RD up high. Also note that you may have to turn your cell phone completely off since each RDs filtering abilities are likely going to be affected by the LO emissions from the other RD. This at least is what I have observed and what generally works for me whenever I play with two RDs at the same time.
