A very creative installation. I have a question for you (assuming you've had it out on the road) does the remote mounting of the receiver cut down or eliminate the directional (in particular from the rear) reception of radar and laser? Seems like it would,especially the laser.

Another good thing about this setup is its easier to mute the detector while driving.

From Valentines website:

Tired of other drivers crowding up behind so they can live off your detector warnings? Or maybe you just prefer to keep a low profile. Here's a remote display that partners with V1, moving all the visual warnings to a location of your choosing while V1 continues on duty in the dark mode.

The Concealed Display may be attached directly to the Lighter Adapter (see Note below). Or you may mount it anywhere using self-stick interlocking fasteners, then connect with the power cord (included) to either the Lighter Adapter or Direct-Wire Power Adapter (both included with V1).

Mute and Mode selection are controlled by the Control **** on the Display (On-Off and Volume adjustments remain on V1).

This compact module measures only 1.0-in. H x 2.5-in. W x 1.2-in. D. Satin-black finish matches V1.

Looking at the pics, the receiver is still mounted up high on the windshield. As long as it has a clear view of the front and the rear, radar/laser reception will be fine. The remote display darkens the display on the receiver, so the unit will appear to be dark or off when you approach, making it a lot less visible.

Great job!
