mounting and modification

[DanNolan]

I am an electrical engineer and after looking at the V1, I figured it may be nice to completely hide the unit, extending only the forward and rear diode arrays via the use of a custom circuit board. Id be bringing the front out another 6-8", and the rear will be extended about 10 ft into the rear brake light. Then the entire unit would be mounted above the headliner out of the way.

The remote display and control would be mounted flush into the dash sitting behind dark smoked glass or perspex with only the knob showing. Has anyone tried anything like this?

It is even possible to extend those sensors?

IF you do a search you'll find it is beyond extraordinarily prohibitive to move the sensors by design. I do encourage 100% functional 100% concealment of the standard V1 unit in the cabin though.

Flush mounting into the dash is something I and others have done. I encourage it if you're not the kind that's going to want to just at a new detector when some 18th radar band or GPS is added to other units.

Everything is one modled peice of metal. The front and rear horns are attached to each other, making it hard to seperate, and the front laser sensor is in the front horn.
