I need to get one of these for the bike, not that I speed, but it’d be nice.
:word: i have mine setup the same way on the DD. I find myself putting it up less and less. Something about a 4 door wagon doesn’t want to make me speed.
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:
Ugh, this sounds like a project that will keep me from working on the BMW…
WTB: V1 remote display…
Mine is ancient though (circa 2004), i wonder if i should get it updated…
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.
type in ur serial # on the v1 site, if it needs an update, it will tell you.
their turnaround is fast as hell.
one time mine was malfunctioning and i sent a money order (out of warranty) to them on like Mon, it was back Fri, fixed, and the money order was sent back lol
v1 :tup:
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…
Josh mounted it on the rear deck and leather wrapped it if I remember correctly
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?”

ok so I over simplified his install a touch
lol lafengas? simple?
wow this shit is uber leet, like I was talking about
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
Long as ur firmware is updated…
I don’t think POP detection is good for anything really
