Valentine One Hardwired+CB+Cheetah Gps Mirror w/ V1 integration

hey guys, Just finished hardwiring my RD to the fuse box. Added picture of my RD, CD and the cheetah gps mirror. The V1 integration kit was tucked under the seat and out of the way. a wire was connected to the V1 through the pillars. the V1 is a dead straight as it can be. It is installed as high as possible.

I have removed the Garmin gps for the pic, but the garmin cable is also tucked away in pillars. I use the missile switches at the back to connect an AC adapter so that i can use my laptop, The GPS and the cell phone charger. In a couple of days i will get my CB then will post pic of the complete install.

Sorry about the quality, i had to use my cell phone camera.

Looks good. How do you like the cheetah mirror?

Nice install :thumb2:

i absolutely love the mirror. The first few days it felt different getting in the car. But once u get used to it, theres no turning back. I prefer this over the C100 cause i have too many things in the car and its a head ache to set things up so that people from the outside wont be able to see what you have in.
The tint on the mirror is very different than the stock. I previously had auto dim mirrors and they were good but the objects in the mirror appear a little smaller and you can see a lot more distance. The head lights do not hit your eyes at all. I had someone with an HID tailgate me for a while. The side mirrors killed me but RVM did not.

I mainly use it to quite my RD down. I set the minimum speed alert to 35mph and below that it wouldn make a noise. The vol on the RD is turned down to a little less than half. Just incase am driving in my neighbourhood or in a 25 zone. But the only prob i have is the X band sound. Its annoying as hell. Cant turn the x band off.....dammnit ohio.....

overall worth every penny.....the customer service was amazing....

Nice setup man. I want to go in the same direction as you. how is trapster? is it worth it?

Nice setup:) The Cheetah mirror is definetly on my wish list.

very nice - :rock:

Thanks guys. I will be updating the post once i tune my SWR on my CB. I am finally satisfied with each of my install....

Hey, that's identical to my setup! I have my V1 and CD in the exact same locations. Nice work! What are the blue LEDs behind your center console in that last pic?

i was running out of cigarette lighter port so i purchased a spliter from walmart for 12 bucks i think . It just splits one port to 3.port and its got a long extension cords......so i could use it. its got missle switches with blue LED's so i could switch them on and off. They looked cool and i was able to shove all the wires under the seat and out of the way any only have the three switches control my gps, cellphone and ipod charger.........

It lights up the car in a cool way as well....

Got a clearer pic of that? Not sure what a missile switch is. Trying to figure out exactly what you've done there.

Sorry for the late reply man, I stopped by walmart of the way back so that i could take a picture of the adapter. But i guess they ran out of it. I google'd some general pics......

These are missile switches, I think they get their name from the silver switch which looks like missiles.

This is the cig adapter 3 way plug and each of it has a switch so i can switch it off when i am not using it.

The one from walmart looked a lot cleaner and i was able to tug the excess wire under the seat and only have the switch box come out and i attached it to the back of the center console using 3m mounting tape. i could reach down easily and switch it on and off. I liked it a lot cause it came with Leds so i lights up the car floor at the back......Hope this helps..

Okay, I *think* I get what's going on now, lol. They're called missile switches because of the protective, anti-trip safety covers on them, which is similar to the switches used to launch early missiles. Never seen a cig plug adapter with them on it though. The switches look like they take up the whole box, so I don't see where you would plug anything into it. Not important, really. Just curious.

That is why I chose the mirror as well.

I resolved this problem by turning down the volume all the way on the V1, so there is no X alert sound at all from the V1. Also, setting the V1 at "L" or "l" mode reduces false X alerts. Finally, on the mirror, I turned off X Band, so the mirror does not give any tones or voice alerts for X Band at all.

Great Install.

I set my speed threshold on the mirror at 35. Remember KA comes through no matter what. I turned x-band audio off on the mirror. But it retains the display on the V1.

Ah! Well, I haven't updated since I bought it. That must be the problem, lol.
