Pull up the center locking post using a tiny screwdriver or awl. The outer post then slides right out as a unit. It works kind of like a tube and center plunger.
To put back, do it in reverse order. Slide in with the plunger up then push down the center to lock.

How often were u getting pulled over to justify spending $700 on a radar detector plus man hours for labor? I consider myself to have a pretty heavy lead foot and I still avg about one $150-200 speeding ticket a year. Just seems like waste of money anda relic of the 80's-90's.

I would go with Jerry on this one. I'm a DIY guy and I would to take the challenge to install it. I hate giving the state plus the insurance company my hard earn dollars. Rather buy more toys instead.

My Valentine One cost me $399 in 2000. The recent "upgrade" I purchased last month (where they send you a brand-new unit) cost me $199, so plus my remote display and moving the hardwire installation between three vehicles, my cost over the past 13 years was roughly $800. Thanks to my V1, I've not received a ticket, nor even been pulled over (for any reason), in 13 years. Completely worth the $62 a year to me!

You can enter the serial number of your V1 here, and it will tell you what changes have been made since you purchased your unit. This year, we "upgraded" my unit, and I helped my parents with updating their two V1s as well, and each had a turn-around time within five days - I was impressed.

Not to be a buzz kill here, but laser jammers are illegal in 12 states (currently legal in PA) and radar detectors are illegal in VA, Washington DC and all but three provinces in Canada. Since permanent installed components like this are obviously, not easily removable, be sure you know the laws of the states in which you'll be traveling before undertaking this type of install and investment, especially if considering laser jammers. Police often use detectors to sniff them out.
