After i few months, i finally Purchased a Valentine V1 for my 06 acura TL. i am very exicted on getting it!!! i had one quick question, i plan on hard wiring it to my car, and was wondering what else i needed to buy from their site. so far.. i bought:


1. radar
2. consealed case
3. 8ft straight power cord.

What else do i need? do i need to buy a certain type of kit? or do i jsut need to spend that $1 on the Wiring Harness Connector?

 

everything that comes w/ the radar is all you raelly neeed. Unless you want a concealed display, you can buy that, but everything should come w/ the radar.

 

ohh ok thank you. do you have a valentine v1 hard wire? wheres a ideal place to put it? on the visor?

 

There should be a few threads on hardwiring the V1. Have you tried a search with keyword valentine or radar detector yet?

 

yeah i have mine hard wired. It looks so much cleaner that way.
Here's where i put mine:

it's actually a little behind the rear view mirror, that way the part that senses the rear would point directly through the middle of the back window. I also have the concealed display, which i mounted right behind the steering wheel.

 

Did my Escort the same way as well as the remote. It works out well and the installation looks very clean.

 

but the manual specificaly says not to mount it behind the blue tinted strip on the windshield.

 

cool thank you for the picture! helps alot thank you cant wait to hook up this bad boy
