just added my Valentine V1 w/ tint
Just cleaned my car so i thought i might post some pictures up
Heres a picture of my concealed device for my newly installed hardwired Valentine V1
I put this here because when looking outside the car, there tint outside wont allow people to see my V1, therefore people wont steal it
my car has 20% tint all round so even looking from the sides is very hard to see
Currently What i did with this car is:
hardwired Valentine V1
20% tint all around
installed V12 alpine amp
Installed 2 12" rockfosgate subs
viper alarm system with autostart
What i will be adding withint 6months:
New 19" tires/rims
a-spec body kit
Thank you for looking

I want to add a v1 to my car as well. but want my unit to be completely hidden. does it fit width wise in the front cubby where the cigarette lighter is located?

it should fit, ive seen some people in here do it, but it might require some drilling, but im not sure on that i can be wrong.

Does anyone know if the LED in the Valentine 1 can be replaced with a blue LED and still function as normal? Anybody willing to take a look at theirs? I am going to order one next week and I want to know. I wish it came optional like the BEL.

Well on the V1 site, it says that having tint does reduce your radar power, but from the fron view i believe its at 100% because no tint in the front window, and as for every where else, i honestly have not noticed as reduction in strenght. Valentine is a great tool, and i love it!

BTW I would ALWAYS recommend hiding your V1 even if you think nobody can see it. Thieves look specifially for these things and it's worth smashing your window to them for one.
