Sorry, I don't have any. You may want to post again asking for pics. I use the bracket from great lakes trophy, and I bought the wire from member Teamspeed, although I know you can make it yourself. You do need the electro mirror for my set-up, but you can also conceal the wire with a little more work. If you have the right mirror, go for it!
You may use my installation guide if you want to make your own mirror power cord, this cord is working for a large number of vehicles, and as others try this on their vehicles and notify me, I add it to the list. My install doc has C6 installation pictures and a list of vehicles and their wires to tap into, but the C5 is just as easy to install!
I have a V1 hardwired with a very short wire directly to the electro rear view mirror for what I feel is avery slick set-up. No visible wires, no batteries, and a better unit.
When I got pulled over I saw the State Trooper squat down and look up at my mirror and visors for a detector.
Any way to mount it out of sight? Does it have to be in the windshield? I'd like to mount so the indicators are behind the ashtray door. V1 for me, it cost less than that ticket they tried to pin on me...
I have not looked to purchased because I have been told the techn of the radar guns are instant ON/OFF soooooo.. Went the detector goes off the gun already has you and your hope is that someone is in front of you going faster that you. IS THIS TRUE WITH ANY OF THESE DETECTORS

That's pretty much true. If you're the only one on the road, chances are the detector going on is telling you "you have just gotten a ticket", due to instant on radar. That's not always the case. There are some state troopers around here who just cruise with their radar on all the time. And usually there's another car that passed the cop a mile or so back and you'll pick up the signal from when he painted that car.
When it comes to laser, if the detector goes off you're pretty much screwed. A laser uses a fairly narrow beam that is aimed through a sight glass. There isn't a lot of dispersion with that beam, so if the detector sees laser you might as well just pull over.
Having said that, I've got an Escort 8500 X50 and it has saved me from getting a ticket from conventional radar on half a dozen occasions.

I got hit with a laser just the other day. Had I been speeding, I would have been dead. Around town, and cops without a laser you have a chance. It's up to you if you think it's worth it, I do.

If you have a decent detector, you will usually get an early warning as the LEO hits the instant on to snag cars far ahead of you. If there is much traffic, you stand a good chance of detecting them before they get you. Open road... no traffic... you may be toast.
