My unit is inside my rear view mirror. It actually looks like its behind the glass, even more concealed that the stealthmirror option above which seems to be more of a 'cut-out' look on the glass. Not sure where you are located but Lamborghini of Bergen County did a tremendous job of having their guy install mine. Very pricey though.

Stealth Mirror appears to have done a great job. It looks to be behind the glass construction. They also added my Blinder 47 controls.

 

I plan on having Lamborghini Bergen County install it! I am waiting on my Kreissieg exhaust, which I was emailed an expected delivery date of June 30th. After the exhaust is in, I will take it all over there for install. Maybe we can hook up after I pick it up?

Where are you going to mount the unit itself?

there is the stealth mirror! I got it, but it is not yet installed.

 

Manufacturer: http://www.stealthmirror.com/available.htm

 

purchased from please check with our franchised lamborghini dealer sponsors.com

 

I am sure it will be great and solve the problem. Mine should be installed next month.

i invented this escort / valentine mirror application process in the late 80's with my company Ultrasmith Systems Inc. NYC. it was a very delicate process and we equipped so many exotics with V1's in this manner.

Mount it as high and in the middle of your car as possible. Below any of the factory tint. Also, look at the unit from the rear of your so that it isn't blocked.

doesn't make sense to me. if you have to expose the detector itself why have the mirror display? This would be the shit if you could hide the detector. The detector itself will end up mounting within itches of the rear view mirror anyway. Valentine needs to make a hide away with the rear view mirror display short of that it seems you are not gaining anything. Unit is still exposed, No?

Doc - Spot on. The v1 manual (which is accurate to say) says to mount as high up and in the middle of the car as possible. Mine is hardwired directly to the right of my mirror. I don't see the point in hidden displays, since the unit needs to be right there anyway. Also, don't forget that the rear radar needs to "see out" the back window.

 

The only time I've been stopped with mine was when I muted it and forgot to pay attention to the full Ka hit. The other was laser.
