I'm assuming you mean this: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...light=sunglass
a cool mod.. for glasses, but thats where my meter quarters go. What's the point of putting the stealth remote in a place that's out of view? Do you just use the audio? I saw the post of the guy that did it and it looks cool but seems to defeat the purpose. My V1 mount above the mirror on the drivers side looks weird, and it sits on the mirror. Is that where you put yours? Pics?

I have it in the ashtray in my E46, and will do the same when the E92 comes in. It is a tad incovenient when looking, but is great in that once you flap the door closed the unit is completely invisible to cops and thieves. NOTHING will push a cop over the edge of "should I give him a ticket, or not" faster than a lit up christmas tree inside your car at night. If the main unit is up high enough, that, too, is nearly impossible to view from outside the car. (Even as the cop is leaning in and questioning you!) I don't know about you, but I just glance down at the V1, for a split second, when I get a new bogey. (I've had a V1 for 10 years, so maybe it takes some getting used to.) That makes the line-of-sight/privacy tradeoff very simple for me.

I'm going to do the mod; do sunglasses and the display fit at the same time?

Has anyone hardwired their V1's yet? I want to do the stealth remote install, but I don't know who to have do it? Any recommendations in the LA area?

Nice work and all but it's really impractical considering its purpose. It needs to be up in the driver's line of sight; anywhere else and it's inefficient at best.

Very nice spot for it I think. I think like with most RDR deterctors, a soon as you hear a tone, your gonna slow down so I don't think trying to look at the instrument and analyze where the cop is is practicle. Your not flying a jet fighter where you have to look at the Radar scope and figure out your closure/BRAA (Bearing, Range, Altitude, Aspect). So where you have it in the ashtray is really neat I think and you can hide it from the crooks! Good job! How hard was the wiring issue for you? |

Unless you want to drop some serious money to have this type of fabrication done: http://www.toyguy.o-f.com/i/v1_img4.jpg , I think it's the best option.

BTW, there a kit to integrate the V1 into the Idrive. I remember seeing it a while ago, but it was around $500-$600.

I recall that some of the E46 owners had hidden their V1 in the black plastic "hump" (supposed to be for the alarm or something I think) that was on the rear window shelf. I don't think the E9x has that. But you could try mounting it in the back window, also up as high as you can get it. I don't know if the window suction cups would work, or you may be able to rig up some sort of bracket that mounts between the roof and roof liner.

I don't have a link but a very reputable BMW electronics supplier we all know is working on one, too. Not sure on the ETA either, but I trust them to deliver this and a few other cool products.
