Mine:




Suction cups suck
Can barely tell it's there top up or down.

 

Stuck to the glass on the left of the rear view mirror, hard-wired to the overhead interior lighting. I love mine set up that way.

 

Hard wiring is surprisingly easy. Even if your not mechanically inclined, it only takes an hour. There is an excellent how-to in the electronics forum.

 

My V1 is suctioned to the right of the mirror (Passenger side), and hardwired. I like it better on that side so it's as much out my line of sight as possible. I can't wait for Ricks V1 trim piece, as soon as it's available that's where my V1 will reside.

 

Yeah, i know which one you're talking about
one sec, I'll find it

Here in So. Cal lots of cops use Lazer at the front plate, I feel it may not work as well, mounted high
Ie. 1000 feet lazer at front plate only has 15 inch circle beam, Closer to the detector.

I even email the guy who test all the detectors. He said Highter for Ka better distance
lower for lazer, because it has a small beam up to 2000 feet, most lazer ticket are 700-900 feet

 

it seems like no one has read the owner's manual on mounting and positioning; It says to mount it as high as possible.

 

I've read "mount high"...I've read "mount low."

V1 recommends that their detectors are mounted as high as possible..so that's what I do.

I'm hard wired to the left of the rear view mirror.

 

I was under the assumption that by the time you've been alerted of a laser, they would've already gotten a reading.

If that's the case than Ka is way more important.

 

I don't think I've ever been shot with laser. I get false laser alerts frequently, though.

Ka is by far the most important band for me.

K and X are useless
