My Beltronics died about a year ago so I've been radarless since then and have not had a single ticket. I've wanted a v1 for some time so I finally picked one up off eBay. My question for the v1 owners is do you have the concealed displays? I'm not sure if it would be a big benefit but they are pretty cheap. I'm looking to hardwire the setup too.

I got mine today. Holy crap the thing is friggin awesome!!
It detected cops like 3 miles away, and its gone off at high strenths on KA bands and I can't even see where the cops are. Ticket saver!

How does the Sunvisor clip keep the detector level??? and there's no problem with tint is there? I have a little tint in the top of my front window and the back is done.
I have mine hard wired using a cord from invisicord invisicord.com they are inexpensive and you don't have to put the direct power box that comes with V1 in rood, which is too bulky. You can find a great write up here: E60-V1 Hardwire hope that helps
