would this work with any other radar detector, like the Escort 9500xi? I have been reading where many prefer this new Escort to the Valentine one. Anyone have an opinion?

That's a nice clean look, right under the mirror. I really like your wiring instructions, rep points for you!

Seems like it might work if you flipped it 180 and mounted it above mirror?
Might satisfy both placement camps. |
Just ordered mine! Looking forward to the install with the excellent instructions provided on this thread by Gary.

I have a V1. It is the best radar detector by far.
|
Got my G bracket installed a few days ago by G Rides. I really dig how the V1 just floats in the air and it hugs the bottom of the mirror. Its also more in my line of sight and easier to hit the mute button.
Great workmanship and install. Props to G Rides. |
Nice Job
Great product and great pics of install.... value add vendor posting as such. thanks
|
How does this differ from the BlendMount: http://www.mgtmotorsports.com/?gclid...FShGagodBSuasA
Nicely done! |
The blendmount does not work on the Porsche mirror post. Although it is a fine product, I use one on my daily driver truck.

Ken Thanks Ken! Good to know. I am sure I will be purchasing one of these soon! |
Got mine installed and I love it! Looks great and was a super easy install. Gary and G-Rides are great. Rep points for them!

Not so sure - I afraid it will block too much of the view this way if mounted below mirror, I would prefer not to have anything there.
IMHO optimal spot for V1 is right above mirror on its left side. It fits there perfectly using its original big suction clip. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...pictureid=8510 |

wow, looks great! i think i recall my valentine coming with the hardwiring kit... does anyone know if its easy to order more wiring if it can't be found?
for the one who asked v1 vs. escort. i just got back from mammoth, and the v1 SAVED my a$$ about 3 times, no joke... the v1 is a bit of a pain in the city, even on logic mode u pick up a lot of "noise", but on the open highways, it works like a charm. it has also served me very well driving down the 5 fwy to san diego... |
