If only radar detectors weren't illegal in VA...

Thanks for the write up. Now i just have to figure out how to do it with the conceal display...

tsx 2 nv

the way i did it, you dont need a concealed display...it shows you right under your rear view, and you can simply push the knob to mute the v1.

im selling my concealed display now

SicK TypeS

let me know when you figure something out, my conceal display has been sitting in it's original box for about about 2yrs now

My friend was tellin me how someone got a v1 installed with the arrows INSIDE the rearview mirror
Maybe that's what you need

Good job.

I mounted my Escort on the left dash and you can not tell from out side what it is.

My TSX isn't fast enough to get a speeding ticket.

OhNoItsMe

fantastic!

Power1Pete

Your car can't go faster than 80 mph?

er...Asian TL, thats probably one of the more useless places to put a radar.... First ur cutting off the detection cone in the front with the left pillar, reducing the distance by keeping it low, and completely eliminating the rear detectors because ur body and the drivers seat is in the way.

ruffellprefley

fixed!

AsianTL

You might be right but at one time I was a mile ahead of speed trap of laser detector and the radar detector gave a chirp sound ( someone ahead of me got hit by the laser radar gun). By the time I got there, there is a cop on my left side of the road and my radar went off but I already reduced my speed.
For the rear, I have not encountered any but the rear detector sensor is pointed between driver side and the pillar.
