Guys,

I am about to purchase a v1 and would like to know, where the different mounting positions are?

I do not want to have it suction cupped to the bottom of the windshield. If you have pics let me know.

I also see there is a concealded kit for it, does anyone have this?

Let me know.

Thanks for the help

Nick

Somebody sells a kit that attaches to you rear view mirror.

Valentine provides a visor clip and windshield mounting kit, if you use the concealed display you still need to have the Radar detector on or close to the windshield so it sees out the back, front and sides of the car.

I have seen a simple mounting bracket that attaches to the visor screw and places the V1 at the top of the windshield. I haven't been able to find it again. I need one. I still use the suction cup mount and have it at the top of my windshiled.

You should also get one of these: http://www.invisicord.com/

Your're in luck, I found it: http://69.89.25.185/~trexsoft/t-rexs...s/corvette.htm



These look simple enough to make on my own.
Now, I need to find an OEM V1 visor mount...I don't think I have one anymore.

I have the concealed display but do not use it in the vette. My V1 is suction cupped just to the left of the rearview mirror basically as high as it can go. I had it on the right side at first but was difficult to see and to mute. If you're interested in the concealed display PM me and I'd probably sell it.
