Default Valentine One Savvy in 07 IS350

Has anyone installed the Savvy unit in an IS250 or 350? I have a 2007, have the Savvy from my last car, and want to put it all together, but it looks like I'll have to take the car apart to do it. Is this something that's fairly easy to do and can I trust a stereo shop to do it without creating new rattles?

I have a blend mount and there's some wiring thing to power it off of the mirror available online that I don't have yet, but I really want to cut down on false alarm noise in the city, but not get caught with it off on the highway which makes the savvy ideal.

I love the V1's arrows, but it's noisy and there's a lot more things causing false alarms in the world, hence the Savvy. If one of those has GPS to keep a log of false alarms then I'd be interested in it for that fact, but I'd also like that added to the V1. Basically, if any detector can have both arrows and good false alarm filtering or a GPS log of them then I'd buy it.

The V1's settings can be modified to be less sensitive and I think I may try that, and it can be updated and I'll try that too. It's saved me more than it cost though, and that's what counts. And it's not so noisy that I don't use it like I've heard about some.

V1 are extremely sensitive especially when it come to X and K band. From my 3 years living in California, i haven't seen any police using X and K band equipment so i have disabled these on my V1 and it significantly cut down the false alarms.

I want to turn off K Band, but I've seen cops or maybe they were park rangers using it in the Griffith Park area of Los Angeles. I think I've also seen it one other time. It's rare, but I think some of that gear is still out there.
