hey sups guys.... i was coneidering purchasing a good radar detector for my w202 and been going around the bush of the V1 anywayz.... i was recently on ebay and came across this....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VALENTINE-1-RADAR-LOCATOR-IN-REAR-VIEW-MIRROR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38654QQihZ015QQi temZ250149248720QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

jus wanted to know wut u guys think... this is a really expensive mod but my other option are the custom thin faceplate that can basicly be modded anywhere which is very versatile. jus want some opinions... any other advice would be great.

$600 just for the install - Ouch! Don't they have a model that is a two piece where you install the sensors in the front and back and then mount the thin display in your dashboard or is that from Passport? Still, spending close to a grand just for radar detection is for the "speedracer" at heart. Good luck with your decision though.

As a former V1 owner. I have to say... 'no worth it'
I bought a V1 just for the heck of it even when I no longer sped. Didnt have fun with it and I lost 50$
