Just finished with my hard wire and added some tension to my ac serpentine belt since it stretched slightly from when I installed a month ago. Hard wire came out very nicely and did it via savvy but ended up relocating my obd plug since savvy was sticking out too far. I just removed the screws and bracket and relocated it behind the dashboard kick panel. I ran the wire down along the same conduit as the rear view mirror so it is extremely hard to see the black valentine wire. Totally stealth and hidden. I can easily pull out the obd 2 plug if and when I did to read codes. Set savvy to 25mph and have ka guard turned off. I had my old acura vigor install similar and had the concealed display right on top of steering column and it was extremely useful and handy. Still trying to figure out if up high and to the left will effect the rear antenna or not. Very happy with overall cleanness factor and impossible to tell from outside that I have a radar detector. STEALTH

 

looks great wish i had that package arrive in my mail..

 

Looks nice. Maybe i should post pix of mine. Did mine different.

 

Imagine the cost of couple tickets and the increase to your insurance premium

Please do so I can try different locations and see how radar reception is in comparison to original location

 

I got lazy and just bought an Invisicord and Mike's Mount. Acheived the same result but was much easier.

 

^^^^ I was tempted to buy mikes mount / blend mount along with invisicord but then I decided to change up my install. I wanted my old stealth setup that I had in my Acura Vigor which involved having the radar detector up high to easily get long range hits. The other advantage is since it is out of sight no one is tempted to steal my radar detector and no one can see from the outside behind me that I have a radar and try to use me as a rabbit (Display on unit up top is off and only concealed display is lit). I really enjoyed the concealed display that the valentine offers and love having the display right in front of me so I don't have to take my eyes of the road or the cluster. Lastly since I am using "SAVVY" to hard wire and to read OBD2 speed to mute false alarms below 25mph. I need a 4 conductor wire and invisicord is only 2 conductor for power. I decided to skip the cord and mount and invest the money into "CONCEALED DISPLAY" & "SAVVY" & "LIQUOR"

 

I will try to get it up this week. need to take pix of it now. I got my idea from another friend and i questioned him all the time. Your going to love this set up

 

ok i found some time to do this since i have my laptop w/ me at school






wait for it




































and now....

 

why do u have it in the back of the car.. i thought it was supposed to be placed in the front

 

B/c it's stealth mode and everything still works out fine. If a cop pulls up right beside my car, he aint going to find it on the front window.

 

I like the position of the concealed display but still have to take my eyes of the road and cluster. I have seen enclosures that you can use to mount the unit to the headliner in the back and conceal it totally except for lenses. Does it look like your radar detector is at an angle or is it 100% level.

Looks nice. Maybe i should post pix of mine. Did mine different.
