Where do you guys plug the radar?
#31
I found some mounts on www.countryjoycrafts.com for Escort and Valentine radar detectors. I don't know if they will work if you are staying with the old mirror (prior to TSB)? I just looked and there looks like there is some type of plastic ring over the stem currently. I was wondering if that stem gets removed to mount the hardware? If anyone has any info please help out? Anyone know what size stem we have also? I currently am using an Escort 9500ix with Stealthcord and suction cup mounts. I hate that the suction cups come undone every so often.

After finding out about the blendmount in this thread I ordered one, it came in two days and I installed it in maybe 10 minutes!
Result is great! No more rattle against the windshield. The only drawback is that it seem to take a little longer to acquire GPS satellites.

timeToy, is that the new mirror in the F (did you have it changed from the factory/original mirror?) Did you have to remove anything on the mirror to install it like VSL-F had too?

I've used my cellphone charger AND my V-1 at the same time for hours on end with never a problem. If plugging something in blows the fuse, there's something seriously wrong with the device you're plugging in. A cellphone charger typically draws about 500 milliamps or 0.5 Amps. That's not even close to enough to blow the fuse.

hey this is to all of you who have your V1 "hanging" under your mirror...........
Are you guys just not worried about theft and people breaking your window by proudly displaying the V1 there when parked? Yes I know the mount is sturdy and great view of the road ahead but what about when a cop walks up to your car and see's it hanging there when you are pulled over?
(before you guys tell me it's legal to possess one I KNOW, however you are 10x more likely to get a ticket if he sees a V1 mounted like that under your mirror)

I travel for work quite often and I even take a V1 on trips where I know I'm going to be driving a lot and parked with no problems.

I do have a question though, are you using the BlendMount with a hinge or without (it appears that your kit doesn't have the hinge but I'd like to make sure before buying one)?

I've had V1's for over 10 years in one car or another with no issues of theft. I've also been pulled over on a couple of occasions where the cop has seen it, and most recently got out of a 80 in a 55 mph ticket and all the cop said was " you know those things don't work right?".

Thanks for posting that pic on the first page. This is what I was looking for and had no idea that such a product existed.
