Congrats on your V1, now the Blendmount is a cool and ingenious product, BUT if you are worried about people breaking in your car, then it is a bad idea, because theifs can see your V1, also it is in plain sight if you ever get pulled over and when your driving, the people driving behind or next to you can see, but if it works for you then it is all good. I just thought you should know man. Well welcome to the forum, I am sure you will have all your questions answered and btw nice car! 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....

Hey Charlie,

Hahah, this is awkward.. Two snoopys and a charlie brown! The worlds gonna end.

I had the same concerns when getting the blend mount. I really didn't want to get it because of A. the price and B. that it is in total plain sight. However, I feel like I needed to get it because of the way my car is. I have a 2009 Mazda 6 s GT and the windshield is very tilted, with the top of the windshield near my face. There is the tint band across the top and above the rear view mirror is the perforated black strip. Also! i have a auto dimming mirror with rain sensor, and theres a big black box covering that on the windshield.

I could have clipped it to my visor, but it would have been really close to my face and hard to operate without the CD and the whole tint strip.

Where would you have mounted it????

Ohh also, the detector comes off my the mount very easily, i can have it packed away in seconds, so thats not too awful when I'm parked in a sketchy area.

Oh if you put it away whenever your in an area you dont trust, then your all good, I was actually going to get the blend mount when I first was looking at the V1, but depending on your tint strip, they usually dont effect the RD, but I mean it is whatever you like really since it is your right to do what you prefer lol, im just lazy so i like it up high and hidden, as you see my tint strip is dark from outside but you can see from the inside.





Hopefully you can see these as you are a new member, but here you go man, but like I said if you are happy with your set up then by all means keep it the way you like it!

[snoopy316]

Thats a nice setup, you def cant see it from the outside. I might try mounting mine up there and see how i like it, I def like how its hidden. the blend mount is nice, it just right out there in the open. Ill take some photos and upload them. The only ones i have were taken with my iPhone and they look pretty crappy.

Alright man sounds good, but yeah im sure you'll find some good information on this forum!
