After weeks of going back and forth between the Passport 7500 and the Valentine One, I decided to purchase the V1. Well, it arrived today and has already saved my butt TWICE!

While my old detector (Bel 945i) would have just beeped as I passed the drug store on my way to work, the V1 identified 2 threats . . . sure enough, there was an officer in the lot!

For those looking for a detector, the V1 is an UNBELIEVABLE piece of art! Definitely worth the money!

I plan on performing the hardwire installation this weekend. I'm also thinking about installing the concealed display in one of the A/C vents. I'll post a couple pictures when I'm finished.

An excellent place for the display is the aluminium trim piece just to the left of the steering column. You have to cut very carefully with a coping saw or such...but the result could turn out pretty nice. Another good spot would be inside the cigarette box which is on the earlier cars 99 and below...that's where my turbo timer is.

I'd love to see pictures of your installation in the A/C vent.
