You all remember Lafengas’ [DIY: stealth V1 radar install](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1483)? Well I found something similar along those lines for the Bimmer/ Mini crowd while wasting time on the web.

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 ---

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. ---

> [@Xander](#): > > Looks like it would be worth the $199 if you didn’t have to mount the unit somewhere in sight. > > X… 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 😃 Jeller ---

Thanks for listening 😃 > > Jeller 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. joe
