Radar detectors are illegal in Virginia. While I am generally a law-abiding citizen I would like to get a radar detector since we plan to go on a few long trips (DC to IA, DC to CA).

Fellow DC area TT owners - can I legally install a radar detector and keep it turned off unless I cross the state line?

LarryTT - did I see the Valentine 1 with some sort of concealed display on your site? If we get one installed we'd like to keep it subtle vs sticking on the dash/windshield with suction cups.

Anyone?

I'm sitting at work with our new stock 225 QC in the parking lot dreaming up a wishlist of mods. Patience!

Thanks.

I've seen the remote display mounted into the rearview, still have to put the rest somewhere?

Larrytt

My V1 unit hidden behind my rearview mirror and the remote display is between my gauges on the cluster. The Remote is $40.

You still need to mount the unit as high as possible and still have it stick out to catch laser/radar from behind.

I see the photo of the display on your site - what about the unit itself? How is it wired?

Thanks.

I hardwired my V1 into the back of the fuse panel the night I picked my car up. This was before I got a digi cam and also before I found the forum! I never actually documented what I did! lol

I plan on documenting what I did and will post it once I remove my lower dash panal. That should be this week.

Suffice it to say I found a switched wire that was not being used by anything else, something like the cell phone, but I forgot which exactly!

All of the photos I have taken to this point are on my site, as I said I will take a few more of where and how I wired everything once I take the dash off.

I'd definitely appreciate seeing how it's done - thanks!

It just means I either forgot to do it or didn't have time and I will then do it on Saturday.
