I don't want to have to keep pressing the mute button to give me that assurance and I sure in hell don't want to find out a ground wire or fuse blew "after" I get a ticket for 20 over and did not get a warning.

At least leave one small light on.

I have to agree with you on this one. I have my remote display for a reason. I really don't see the point of this mod at all. I mean, I really do hate seeing that little L staring at me all the time (sarcasm). This is almost as stupid as the colored LED mod. After you have the V1 for any length of time, you will know which band by the sound alone. Hell, if the V1 had no arrows, I would have no need to even look at the thing. I can appreciate your effort but I would be cautious about modifying your V1. If this mod somehow accidentally, screws up the V1 itself, you will have some mad folks to deal with.

i don't think it will cause any problem to the main unit unless it shorts circiuted or something. but it's a cool mod.

Cool, all the V1 mods are interesting. i really wished VR have them built in.

edit: apparently this forum doesn't like the word d.amn. lol.

Thats such a good Idea. Just think if you were a Taxi driver how handy s that!

that is actually an option that v1 should include. Since many people mount the remote on the gage cluster they don't want to see a constant display. Especially at night.

Calling it a stupid mod is pretty harsh. If its what he wants than good for him. It's his work and he's showing it to people. I don't see a need for it tho.

What I would like to see is the remote audio adapter have a wire that runs to your aftermarket stereo that would mute your stereo so you can hear a warning. It would be neat if it could be set up that if you had an ear piece plugged in, then the stereo mute option would not work. Just an idea

Do you think you could change it to just displaying an LED when on? That would be a decent compromise. I like your display mod though! Obviously some effort went into this!

It's working for me. It shows how pressing the mute button changes modes from A to small L and big L.

sounds very easy to do, i can actullly do this without needing the remote audio display, and only using the remote display with a chip (can be programed to the same chip but will require 1 wire coming out of the remote display. you would need a switch to turn it off though if you didnt want it to keep muting all the time.

i have to look at the circuit some more but im sure i can keep one led illuminated at all times when the detector is on, for the people that want to be sure its on.
