You all remember Lafengas’ DIY: stealth V1 radar install? Well I found something similar along those lines for the Bimmer/ Mini crowd while wasting time on the web. Check it out and discuss:
looks titties :tup:
if i had a bmw, and/or a v1 i’d be all about that
yeah, i saw that before I did my install. It is pretty sweet and quite stealthy. There are video’s of it too out there. My reason’s for not choosing that route…
a.)It’s not worth $300 to me (plus the cost of the V1)
B.)It’s not as fun as doing my DIY
u are teh DIY master
Mirror > the radio anyway…i hardly look at my radio when i drive… good post rick… makes me want a v1 and a new bimmer…
Looks like it would be worth the $199 if you didn’t have to mount the unit somewhere in sight.
X…
Damn, that would be kewl if they made a small display for alternate automobiles instead of :gay: BMW’s…
I would sport one if they made a small display like that with a different readout than the V1 remote display.
I totally agree, I dont understand the concept of having the additional display if you have to mount the V1 unit somewhere that it works well anyways? :shrug: Its retarded, Unless you can some how hide the original unit? Other than lafengas, I dont think I have seen anyone really do it and have an actual need for the optional display? I see it in mags all the time, with the thing installed in the wheel/dash or some shit and the Unit is right on the windshield… whats the point. Thanks for listening

mine is up above my rear view mirror…and in my case putting the secondary display on my steering column seemed more logical as a place to look when i hear a bogey than tilting my head up and back a little bit. i am sure it varies from car to car, but for my car and my tastes i would rather keep looing forward and just shift my eyes down than have to tilt my head back and have to focus on something thats literally 8-10 inches from my face, where as the display is a good 16-20. i know it doesnt seem like a difference…but it is for my eyes anyways.
