I plan on getitng mine mounted in line with about dead center of the rear view mirror, just below it on the windshield.
Concealed display? Nope; not much gained by them IMHO.
I really think its cool how the display dims to the ambient light level.

I have a V1 and it works very, very well. Only complaint is that at night it can be hard to tell which band has tripped.

I am thinking of dropping the detector to just right below rear view for better signals, but then worried about blocking my view while driving. If signals is not blocked where it is now, then I don't want to move it. However, how can I test it out..
Can't find a fixed radar for testing..,

Where are you going to put the detector? Visor or windshield? Also are you having a stereo place do the install and if so how much are they charging if you don't mind me asking.
Thanks

Install: yeah, the same place that did my stereo install
Price: not sure yet; depends on if I decide to have him do anything spcial; probably not - a couple of hours work probably

The black& white wire is the one we used; its the switched mirror power wire. My installed actually removed a tab bit of insulation around the wire first before putting on the 'wire tap' - I think I got a good couple of close ups of that.
The resolution is little low, but figured it would be easier to post one pic instead of 7 - if you want big hi res originals PM me with your email adress.

Dexter,
Great pics! Looks like a pretty straight forward install. Can you email me the hi res pics? Tried to PM you but your box is full. If you get a chance please email to me at crcheng@calpx.com

I don't know whats up with the PM stuff - I only had like 20 messages in their - the server getting low on capacity I guess.
Anyway, I'll get them to you this evening; they are on another machine.
