to those who have one...if i buy the concealed display, will the radar detector still shows all the stuff on it along with the display....or does the concealed display just work?????

 

No, the radar detector blacks out. All your info is displayed on the concealed display.

 

thanks for the info...in your opinion, should i buy it or just keep the radar detector and use that as a display

 

I like the benefits of the concealed display (other than being hidden):
1. Allows you to mount the V1 higher on the windshield without worrying how you are going to "view/see" it (theoretcially, better range and coverage)
2. You don't have to look high/right to look at the display, keep your eye on the road and glance at your speedo area
3. Your friends will give you a

Those were my top 3 reasons to buy the concealed display.

 

It's worth the extra money. No one at night will know you have a detector... It's a pretty sweet little gizmo.

 

Did you install it yourself or have someone else do it for you???

 

I installed it myself, it's too easy. Very straightforward. Don't pay to install a radar detector.

 

I haven't had the need for the display for the 2+ years I had the V1. Yes it does black out the V1 display once connected. I didn't like that fact. I wanted the option of either one, or both. Don't really care if people can see it fom outside. In fact I don't think people have the eys to see it through my 15% tint anyway.

 

same here all they would see is a blurry red light trough my tint...but oh well, i do see the point of getting the display because it does help with longer coverage by being able to mount the detector higher up, just sucks that it blacks out.

 

anybody know if the concealed display would fit in that slot in the metra kit for 2nd gen cls?
