I need to get one of these for the bike, not that I speed, but it’d be nice. ---

I find myself putting it up less and less. Something about a 4 door wagon doesn’t want to make me speed. ---

> [@Willybeen](#): > > \<– rocks one. > > the bike has radar too. lol. How do you have it hooked up on your bike. I feel like the sensor wouldnt “see” through the windscreen. I have my V1 hardwired right above my rearview mirror in my S4. I love it but have always thought about the remote display for a better view of it. How do you hook up the remote display? Do you have to just run a cord to the detector from the display? ---

Sold my concealed and too lazy to buy another. The V1 is hardwired and mounted next to rearview. X band is turned off and K and KA sensitivity are turned up. No light show = no need for concealed. edit - that EK make enough dubya age pee too warrant a V1??? :snky: ---

Mine is tucked under the windscreen and jammed in there with velcro, it can “see” just fine through my puig double bubble, No need for a concealed display on it either lol. the concealed display connects into a 2-1 junction box that goes from a power source to the unit and also to the display (for the poster that asked how it works) ---

I think most people don’t speed on a constant basis, but to not have the v1 on when you have one is like walking around naked…it just don’t feel right boi. And yeah man the EK almost makes 3 digit WHP numbers, that enough to break 35mph right? The concealed display is easy, they send u another cord, just plug it in according to the directions, and ur good to go, main unit stays dark…sound still comes from the main unit tho. ---

Where do you actually mount the detector then? I mean, the two radar detectors on the v1 need a 360\* view of outside the car… ---

mines on the passenger sunvisor…you are just putting the remote display somewhere else so when a cop is behind u, blasting u w/ Ka, he doesnt see all the flashing lights and pull u over to say “heh heh, you know those things don’t work right?” ---

I mounted my remote in front of my gauge cluster - to keep it in my line-of-sight, rather than the guy behind me… I’ll post a pic of it when I get home. And I’m debating about upgrading - mine’s an old 1.7 ---
