Yes. See pic for good mounting location:

Since the lights are red, it blends well with the OE dash lights, and is sufficiently hidden from view from all directions.

Yes...it's well worth the price, when hooked up, it turns the lights off on the main unit
which means no one behind you can see if there's a radar aimed at you. So if you're hit with a radar, you quickly slow down, get in the slow lane and let the other guys face the music. It also helps if there's a cop behind you...he will have no idea you are packing a detector.

I have the passport, I test drove the V1 and for my daily drive it falsed way
too many times. When the passport goes, I know there is radar. I also like the multiple tracking feature, this has saved me more than once. Either is great!

no problem...good way to test radar detector range is to drive by the goethals
my passport went off at the same time the V1 did. I didn't get a direction but the 8500 is cheaper...
