Hey guys, I've check most of the threads. I need to get up to date details on the V1. I had an escort 8500 (stolen) and loved it!:rockon: I've heard about the V1 and how good it is!!!! Where can I buy the review mirror attachment for it, for my 03 Vert.????:shrug::??::shrug: Thanks, and lets keep'm under the speed limit...

Have you checked the website? Most, if not all of the accessories are available directly from Valentine One.

 

[topless_sn8k]

yep, I checked it out first before posting.

yep, I checked it out first before posting.

Im thinking that if you can't find what you want on their website, you're SOL. There are no distributors for their products, only them....

Are you asking about having the remote readout installed in your rearview mirror?

That was not an accessory part, it was something that someone built custom for themselves.

I just mounted my V-1 remote under the lip of my instrument cowl and it works fine there for me. I actually would find it more difficult to see if mounted in the mirror.

But what I am waiting for is the company that is working on a heads up display to finish development on it. I think it would be great to have the readout suddenly appear in front of you, like it was hanging in the air fifty feet in front of the car.

No remote readout... I'm wanting to place the whole detector under the review mirror. I've seen them on C5 vetts. and even saw a bracket on a 350Z. I tried googleing it, but NO luck!???? Some ones gotta know.

I've never seen a rear-view mirror mount made specifically for the V1. Custom job perhaps?

U.M.

I got one in my car ill post it in a minute

 

[topless_sn8k]

Sweet!!!

Heres the website- http://www.countryjoycrafts.com/ConnectorForRadarDetector.htm
Dont remember what size mine was, but it gives you tips on how to measure. Mine didnt fit PERFECT but what i did was, I took some of the double sided foam tape, and cut to size, and put it on the inside of the clamp that hold to the rearview mirror stem. Now it doesnt move AT ALL and fits great.
Its $40 bucks or so, but its SOOOOO worth it. Its pretty gay having a $500 radar dector thats mounted by 2 weak ass suction cups. Here in texas the sun can easily warp the suction cups and your radar could fall.

Im wondering if u can toatlly hide the whole unit and all. Here in ontario they are illegal so to have one in the window and a cop pass u and see it not only is it getting smashed but also a big ticket. Anybody know???

 

[SVTsupremecy]

sorry about the wires on the first pic, Like i said, the sun is brutal in texas, im trying to find a more permanent fix to routing my wires. Texas sun has been doing WORK on my doublesided tape that holds/routes my wires.
05+ mustang owners will love this Radar mount, You can actually see/get to your traction control button.
AND, Mine is hardwired to the overhead light. So As soon as i open my door or hit unlock on my keyless remote, BAM, its on. And 10minutes after i lock it, it shuts off on its own.

Heres some from the back seat.

The alarm off to the left side on the dash, really comes in handy when your busy paying attention to the tachometer or speedo.

 

[topless_sn8k]

THXS!!! SVT!!! But it is funny, before I came back to check the thread I found the site... I believe it takes the 3/8 size. Why do you have the velcro on there????

 

[SVTsupremecy]

Its because it still shifted a little bit when i made a hard turn, and moved a little on a HARD HARD launch...it fit, but I had some extra velcro so i used it to help make it stick to the Mirror stem tighter.

 

[VirtualSVT]

Looks nice but there is no way I'd hand anything from my rear view...

Had it fall of on way too many previous Ford products...lol

 

[NO-BlkLightning2K]

someone on here mounted their beltronics inside the map light enclosure, with the remote sensor mounted in the center console (iirc). it looked sick, plus no wires.

 

[topless_sn8k]

I'm sure there are plenty of ways to set the detectors up, but this is what I was looking for and will go with!!! Unless I decide to go with the K40 set up with everything hidden. Thanks SVT. for the pictures and replys. I'll post some pics of my sn8k once I get her back from the body shop...

 

[NO-BlkLightning2K]

^^^well at least you're open to suggestion.
