Show me your discreet radar detector mounts/setups!

roastbeef · 10-21-2014, 09:07 PM

Been thinking about pulling the trigger on a Valentine1 radar/laser detector.

i was searching for something more than just the remote indicator which i would mount below out of view. i would like the box to be out of view, but i guess that isn't offered yet.
i was thinking it would be ideal to have the receivers remotely mounted in each corner of the front and rear windows. anyone have any cool setups?

4th product down the V1 Radar Locator Headrest Integration. You will need laser jammers since installing the radar inside the headrest will disrupt it from picking up laser but radar will work fine.

i can't run a jammer in california, unfortunately. i want one, but i don't want to look like a speeder with a detector in my windshield.

currently the site is down, but there was a guy here who put the v1 into his rear headrest and used the radar mirror mirror

The other part of the install was the V1 in the rear headrest.

i Have a valentine hardwired on the right top corner of my mirror, kinda behind the passenger sunvisor. pretty neat and clean, i didnt do it on driver's side because the buzzin and arrows can be a little annoying. plus looks very stealth, cant even see from outside the car.

ill try to get pictures later

If you pick up laser on your V1 you are already caught. It's a useless feature to be honest.

Aleks at Alekshop has been hiding V1's and sticking the display in the rear view mirror for years. Works great for me. Mine used to be in the back headrest until I installed the rear half cage. Now it's in an OEM looking box that came from the E46 in between my rear speakers.

Escort 9500ix mouted top right of mirror and hardwired to concealed display and mute button in ash tray mounted to top of tray. Will get pics. Looks awesome and totally out of way.

Yeah I know with laser but I just mentioned it. I would rather be notified I'm getting lasered even though its too late than no warning at all lol. I run jammers on both my cars.

Theres no way you're going to get caught and even if you do its a slap on the wrist.

Not a V1, but you might see something which sparks an idea.

My setup is a Bel STiR Plus with LI Heads - stealth mounted controls (ashtray) and display (mirror)

I've been using Stinger VIP for a few months. It uses a patch antenna mounted behind the bumper, along with a GPS spotlist to verify the location of stationary cameras. Laser option was also installed so I can get those warnings as well.

Screen mounted next to the iDrive screen towards the driver (screen is a small removable card, and functions independently of the system, so starting the car will start the Stinger with or without the display).
