I understand the sentiment behind NetJunkie's comments. With that said, I find the V1 gives plenty of warning when mounted deep in the tint in the extreme upper left of the windshield. I am more concerned with the detector not being visible from outside the car, than gaining a few hundred feet of additional warning.

When you mount it make sure it has a direct line of sight out the front and rear windshield. Be careful not to put it behind the tinting on the windshield.
Here goes VPRKLLR, my first time posting pics.

Ranger,
Can you post a pic of where you mounted it?

funny...i JUST finished hard wiring my V1 using the greatlakes mirror mount. *i* think it's pretty good.
The wire hides in the molding along the top of the windshield all the way over to and down through the A pillar molding.

How did you route the wiring?
Valentine1 is a detector. Here is a link to their site:

Woah, hold on what does this V-1 thing do, is it a jammer? A radar detector? or does it send a lower speed to the gun??? /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif
Here is a link to the V1 site.

...How much does a V1 run now days.....
The testing I've done against known signals in my area tells me the V1 is sensitive enough that any loss in range I experience is not significant in real situations.

I like the location of you valentine, but I wanted to ask if it still had an adequate view out the rear?? ...I just want to make sure that I know when someone "bad" is sneaking up behind me.
