Install looks nice and clean. Mine (RADAR) should be hardwired soon. I am debating right now if I should get the bracket like "MODSHACK" or no.

Try the blendmount, I just got mine and it has a very high quality build, as well as the design, a lot of flexibility:

Zero,

You might as well go one step further and hot wire it into your mirror. Not very difficult.

Thank you to Pacific Star Line in Torrance Ca. for the install today. Took a few hours and the result is perfect as usual from these guys. They also did my window tint.

Now I don't have any messy wires hanging around and when I turn on the car, everything powers up via 12 volts! (I believe everything is connected to the back of the 12 volt plug. (I can still plug in a phone charger, etc. to the 12 volt source)

The best part is.. I can close it! What GPS unit?..

Completely removable if need be (bracket stays in place for easy clip in/out)..

Bracket mounted.. 3 screws and one hole for wire. The thing doesn't budge..

The screen is just about as large as any OEM (but for much less $$)..

Both powered up and ready to go!..

The GPS sits nice and high in an otherwise useless cubby and is easily visible/usable and the door is no nuisance to have open while driving as it is relatively small.

You need one of these for your Valentine 1. These are outstanding mounts for that unit.

I drove by several cops today but it is not responding!!!（I did got a bunch of false alarm though）
I know the control knob is for on/off and volume.
what is the control lever for? what should I do with that？
please help!!! thanks.

which mode are you using?
all, logic or advanced logic?
Do you know what is the differences between these three modes?
I read the manual but I just do not understand how it really works.
