I put my display on top of the dash up by the front windshield next to the inspection sticker. It's far up out of the way for any one on the side to see but nice enough for me to view. It's almost like a headup display like the corvette.[img]http://thumb8.webshots.net/t/61/161/...8WYKVUt_th.jpg[/img]http://thumb8.webshots.net/t/59/759/...8PzGPOQ_th.jpg
looks nice, where is the v1 mounted?
V1 hardwired and mounted on top right hand side of the rearview mirror. I want to place it even higher where you can't see the suction cups but the black piece on top on the windshield won't let it stick.
i have that in my car to, i wanted to mount my x50 above the mirror, but i cant. so i just visor clipped it and it looks great, hidden perfectly. (but i dont have a tint band, so it prob wouldnt be a good idea for you)
i mean honestly, you dont even need to look at it really...after using a v1 for some time you should have the tones memorized and either direction a signal comes from you shouldn't not slow down
true, I do know the sounds but if you drive and have the music loud which I normally do then I need a visual.

especially with the v1, and if u buy the mount without the 'Z' logo, the v1 just blends in with the car its AMAZIIING
How does that piece attached to the V1 clip? I can't really tell from the pics.Quote:

Right, but how does it actually clip to the V1? How easy is it to remove the V1 when you want to remove it from the vehicle?Quote:

If it's not too much trouble, I'd appreciate the scanned instructions. Thanks!Quote:

If I were to get the mount, how long would it take me to take the V1 off of it, and put it back on?
if u just want to take the v1 down to keep from unwanted guests than its the same amount of time as the suction cupsQuote:

I like that idea of the mirror holding it, but jez $40 ?
In my A4 I mounted the v1 between the driver side visor and roof panel. The visor has to be unclipped but it seems to work well. I have still registered rear laser hits (probably from other vehicles) so that works as well. I then routed the concealed display wire down the windshield pillar and mounted the unit on the top of the steering column. Nothing can be seen from the outside unless you walk up to the vehicle and look inside. And then you can only see the concealed display. I never take the v1 out unless I leave the car for an extended period (business trips with the car parked at the airport). So far so good!
