    Default Straight & Level

    This question is for someone who has used a bubble mount to make sure that their v1 is perfectly straight & level.

    When using the suction cups mount how many notches up or clicks up does it take to make the v1 level?

    Depends on the angle of the windshield. That's why it's adjustable.

    I think using a bubble mount isn't going to help that much. Radar waves are bouncing all over the place in different directions and reflecting off almost every surface. As long as it's pointing forward and almost level, you'll be fine.

    It's different on every car.

    Level as poss is good. Better aperture will give you the best long range detection. Don't go nuts just mount it to eye level if your not to sure you could always mark the window with a very small amount of "White out" just at the top of each suction cup. Then adjust the mount to what you think is eye level. still not to sure..... get out of the car and have a look :wink:
