Thanks all, seems unanimous for sure on the V1...
I just wish it was strealthier on the install....Wonder if I can replace the clear suction cups with black ones
Top left of rear view mirror seems like the place to hardwire it I guess....
I'm going to take a look at that Passport LIDAR jammer too (thanks 6dinan) since the police here in Roseville use laser

Why not the clear ones? I personally think they look better then if they were black. Less noticeable. Here check out member Don Juan's DIY for the Hardwire.

My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels
I've hardwired mine into both of my E60's and it's out of sight and perfect. Half the time, most people don't even realize it's there.

So I have a V1 on the way...
I'm trying to decide where to hardwire it. I like EuroCarFan's top left of rear view mirror. Anybody else have any good pics of their idea of the best place to hardwire the V1?
Thanks in advance....

I need a v1 very soon. I also want to get those clear license plate covers from BavAuto that supposably work as well and they cannot read your speed. I heard they are legal.
