You can read about it in Motor Trend's 2004 radar detector review:

Read some online review. The common results is that they are not as effective as they claim to be plus they are illegal and may/will get you in big trouble. I opted for the top of the line on Radar detectors, the V1. I was able to nicell conceal it next to the mirrow and hardwired to the mirror power. The radar only goes on when I start the car and it is kind of hidden. For someone from the outside to notice it will have to kneel down in a funny angle or stick their heads inside the car which no cop will do.
So far so good, no pulled overs but a lot of butt saves...

Don Juan,I'm not sure and you may wish to double check,but I
think your V-1 works like my Passport 8500 in that the front and
rear laser/radar sensors both need unobstructed views of the road to
pick up signals. If not I'd like to see pics of your set up so as
to try it out. :)

The radar has no obstructions and is very accurate. Did I say very.accurate. I had the same setup in my 330Ci, so it was a matter of try with a voltimeter which wire had the juice. Now I don't have to worry of taking it down or hiding it for cops or thieves
Tonite will take some pictures of my setup and the wire connection.
