Where'd you mount your Valentine 1? I'm getting tired of having mine attached to the passenger visor. Anyone have any interesting mounting tips?
Thanks.

Mine is tucked up ABOVE the mirror, on the driver's side. It's tight, but it fits and it's all but invisible from the outside. I have the remote display mounted in the dash, between the speedo and the tach. I'll try to get pictures if I can remember till tomorrow. LOL!

Does it get full line of sight? I'm about to send mine in to get a well-needed upgrade, it's obviously gonna get thinner, but I'm just shocked yours mounts above the mirror. That'd be the perfect spot for it. Is it mounted to the roof? How's it bolted up?
I'm a little leary about sticking it in the middle of the windshield. Seems a little too out in the open...

Have you seen the upgraded Valentine? It's alot thinner. I'm going to get mine updated (one of these days) and am hoping that if I remove the center sun visor, maybe I'm going to get lucky. A friend of mine made a 3rd brake light out of his. I'm thinkin' about that too. I'd like to have my passenger sun visor back, and would love to get away from those suction cups...

Too high or too low does effect the range. So does angle. I'd imagine the tint visor on the windshield would effect the range somewhat also. I'm not concerned about having the V1 in the middle of the windshield because it is tucked right below the rear-view mirror so it doesn't look like an out-of-place eyesore. Besides that, they are legal in CA so there's no worry about other people/cops spotting it, unless you're worried about aesthetics, in which case I'm not ashamed to sport a $400 top-of-the-line radar detector...

Currently, mine's hanging from the passenger's sun visor. That's worked fine for years, but I figured if someone found a way to mount it above the rearview mirror, I'd definitely be up for that.

Not ashamed either - just don't really want to advertise it. I'm in Cal too, so there's no worries about the law. I always figured that if I do get pulled over - it's gonna happen one of these days - there's no way I'm gettin' a warning if the cop sees that thing, ya know?
