I use the visor clip and hang mine from the passenger visor. I used to have it in my Maxima behind the tint band, but you can see it there when looking at the front and someone tried to break in to take it. I moved it to the visor which places it out of site and never a problem. Plus, it makes it easier to switch between cars(I have 4 and only 1 V1). It is very hard to find a good place to put the concealed display. You have to block the gauges to put in the cluster. The clear shield in front of the gauges is too far forward to place it at the top like I did in the Maxima. The options were to either stick it above the driver's side vent just stuck on the dash or put it some place not as easy to see, but more concealed. I ended up choosing the lader. I saw pictures of someone who cut an opening in the front of the ash tray to stuck theirs in. After looking at the ash try and measuring it, I decided to put it IN the ash tray so I could just close it when I don't people to see it. Plus, I can hit the mute with my hand on the shift ****. Yes, finally a use for an ash tray for people who don't smoke. [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I'll try to take a pic later, but the install was pretty easy. You pull out the boot cover and unplug the harnesses. There is an inner tray piece that is removeable. You just remove it leaving the slot open. There are 2 molded guides at the bottom the display will fit inbetween. I just used 2 pieces of velcro to mount mine. You will have to remove the ashtray from the assembly. There is a metal plate on the back that has the bulb for the illumination. You have to remove the cover. You then drill a hole to route the cable through the top of the actual ash tray pivot. Then you run the cable in and to a corner of the metal cover. Leave a little slack in the cable so it opens and closes smoothly. Remove the bulb from the mount. If you don't do this, you will always have light shining around your display whenever the headlights are on. If you decide to remove it later, putting the inner tray back in completely blocks the hoel that was drilled.

I have been using my V1 for years and I pick up the audio far quicker than the visual. That's because my eyes are more concentrated on the road than the gauges. I know the sound difference between the bands, so KA means always slow down and K means look at signal strength. It isn't as quick to see, but it doesn't take long to glance at either.
