Welcome to the forum. The V1 is a solid RD but no one here is a fan of the blendmount because it broadcasts to everyone around you that you have a RD. I recommend mounting the V1 high to the left of your RVM behind your tint strip. Just be sure the tint is nonmetallic.

Also i just realized your name is snoopy, there is another member here with a lot of knowledge named snoopyc4. And it puts me in a awkward position since im charliebrown....

My current setup with the V1.

I'm not sure if i will keep the blend mount, because the V1 is soo visible from the rear. I'm thinking of a CD. But not sure.

The windshield in my car is soo slanted its tough to put in any other location, that along with the tint band, and black dotted strip around the mirror.

You can mount the V1 behind the tint as long as the tint is non-metallic.

As for the dots, are they built into the windshield or do they stick out?

[snoopy316]

It feels like they are applied to the windshield and not built into the windshield. The issue with that is, i have that black box right behind my rear view mirror that covers all rain sensor. It take sup alot of room and theres no way i can put it between that and the visor. Even if i do, the V1 will be in front of the black dots and too close to my face, that i wont be able to read it clearly.

I wonder if anyone else on here had a 2009 mazda 6 with a v1. I would be curious to see how they mounted theres.

Trial and Error will work, also pretty interior, very sporty!

Welcome to the boards! I am also an IT professional and a V1 owner. I keep my V1 in the same location but on the left side of the rear view mirror. I run mine in stealth mode and keep the remote unit on the steering column of my Hyundai Sonata. I'm working on installing Blinder M47's and Cheetah wireless kit. I will post pictures when I'm done.
