Valentine 1 Install

Getting a V1 with Stealthone. I'd like to hear about other members' experience in mounting locations for the Valentine. I found a few good ideas, but most of them ended up compromising or entirely disabling the laser detection.

Thanks in advance for you input and suggestions. Pics would be awsome.

Cheers

Re: Valentine 1 Install

Hi Tom - You're gonna LOVE it. Fun and useful. Scratch that - fun, useful, and mandatory. Try putting it on the windshield to the right of the mirror, as high up as possible. Clear view to radar front and rear.

Re: Valentine 1 Install

Thanks for the info. As far as the rear view display goes, very nice-but I have many more priorites for my Beast before I spend $795 on this. Still - very slick.

I'm in Canada where radar detectors are illega (except for a few provinces - but illegal where I live and drive). I was looking for a more stealthy install, if such a thing is at all possible.

Thanks
(especially for the great pics)
