PICS: Valentine One (in-dash) Install

here...now you wont have to wait for that SLOW site....

my goal was to make the unit look "factory" but also
keep it outta view from at least the DRIVERS window (when
standing outside lookin' in) either by cops or crack head theives.

the other goal was to AVOID having to reach for the mute...
sometimes thats a dead give away, even when you HIDE the
detector on the wind shield...that all too familar "MUTE-REACH"
is well known by cops.

i dont CURRENTLY live in a state where detectors are illegal but
i still dont want ANYONE following me (because they see i have a
detector)....I often drive in a state where detectors are illegal and
i dont want any signs that im running a detector either.

w/ the 99-04 superduty (f250/f350/+) their is NOT enough room
behind the dash for the entire remote display...i had to trim the
pcb (removing the remote mute button) so the display would
fit.

Thats cool. I have seen also were they change out the leds in the hideaway unit to different colors.
 
Looks very clean!

This reminds me that my V-1 has been sitting on a shelf in the garage for over a year....:doh:

Well put that sucker in a box and send it my way. Heck you don't even have to knock the dust off of it......LOL


That's a pretty slick install if I do say so myself.
