The biggest gift my MINI got this christmas is a V1 radar detector. I replaced my 6-your-old Bel 980. As usual, I made sure to do a custom install job, this time involving a saw and a soldering iron!
The details and photos are on my dedicated V1 page. Click through to find out why this was disassembled:
What happens if/when you’re in Virginia?
Or DC?
Got a question about accuracy of the upper unit with the slope of the roof. Doesn’t it need a straighter site line? My Escort 8500 seems to work even laying on the floor but I wonder how accurate it could be. What’s the deal with the unit by the tach? Just a satellite unit?
It’s funny how many people say “those things are illegal ain’t they!?” Misconceptions and urban legends, misconceptions and urban legends, as a art director I had used to say!
Turn it off? Stick it in the glovebox? Don’t get caught?
1206 LEDs - ha!
I’m going to have to try some 0603s next week in the Alpine HU
I see you mounted the concealed display where I mounted mine. Any regrets?
Fantastic choice and great looking install.
