    Default My (Re)Introduction

    I've been a member on the site for a long time, but a few months ago I got a new car and had to start over with my setup. Here's what I've got going now:

    2010 Subaru WRX Sedan

    With Valentine 1 mounted with BlendMount and hardwired:

    I know a lot of people aren't fans of the BlendMount but it's exactly what I wanted

    You do realize that if you ever do get pulled over you're getting a ticket, not a warning, right?

    X2, does the V1 dismount pretty quickly? It's just so obviously in plain sight for all to see.

    Yeah, I understand that it's blatantly obvious at that spot in my window but I've already gotten 2 warnings with it there. My problem with mounting higher is the dotted black tint strip above the mirror makes it impossible for the suction cups to hold and I don't want to put it behind the visors.

    And yes, it does dismount fairly quickly now that I've gotten the hang of sliding it out of the mount and unplugging it.

    I played with blendmounting it upside down but the arrows were backwards then, obviously everything was upside down, and the angle wasn't possible to flatten with the shortness of the mirror stem. Without any interior cutting/modification anyone have any more stealthy mount ideas that wont prevent me from using my sun visors?

    You have amazing luck, my friend. Have you tried playing the lottery?

    Definitely get a Concealed Display and move the bright blinky lights out of the view of people outside your car.
