UberXY Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I have a shelf on the dash of my '05 RT. I bought some heavy duty velcro and put it on the shelf right in front of me. No problems with it falling off. No rain protection, but then again I don't really need a radar detector when it rains. Link to comment
scottgr Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I use the Co-Pilot shelf from BMR Products, with an accessory arm and Valentine security cover. The shelf is very stable and the accessory arm/cover is mounted with security torx screws, although I'm sure someone could tear it off if they really wanted to, and the remote display and audio adapter are velcroed underneath. Radar detectors are illegal in Virginia, so I keep a small black nylon bag over it for concealment and a plastic shower cap for the rain. So far it hasn't been a problem, but if I ever get pulled over I might have to explain what's in the bag. -sg Link to comment
VinnyR11 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 My friend has one mounted beneath his rearview mirror. Works great. Does what they say it does, but... He just had his license suspended 2 days ago for his 3rd speeder in NY within 18 months. Point and shoot radar, laser, and other methods are way ahead of the detectors IMO. Link to comment
UberXY Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Radar detectors are illegal in Virginia -sg good news in the RIchmond paper this morning - a bill is up in the State House to repeal the detector ban. Though I wouldn't bet the farm that it passes, it's some progress. LE spent the week testifying against it. Link to comment

Of course, I tried that first but a search for "Valentine V1" netted zero results. Still learning. Did you do a body and subject or body only? Let me go try 2 years and drop the V. ..... Allright. I guess that was the trick. No "", drop the V and add a year. Sorry.... Link to comment
FLrider Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Larry, I thought you just bought a different brand???? Get a ticket? Not me baby! I decided to get the V1 because it integrates with that other thing I recently bought. You know...that thing. I LOVE that Whistler and gave it to my wife, who, I am quite certain, will get another speeding ticket soon. She wasn't really paying attention when I tried to teach her how to interpret the lights and sounds... Link to comment

SageRider Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Not a big deal, but your results will be much better with an understanding of what the search engine needs. On my 1100 & 1200 RTs, I've used superstrength velcro on an RCU shelf for my V1 and never had a problem . I'm currently changing my mounting system to a combination Wunderlich GPS mount (only using the reinforcement bracket which isn't shown on their product illustrations), a Migsel mount, and RAM mount accessories. Don't know yet how it will turn out. Link to comment
tallman Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Wasn't chopping your busts, really. The advanced search allows you to change the date fields and then put in a very limited search word. But, I've had times when I got zilch for results too. Link to comment
Fightingpiper Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I have an escort but I mount it to a homemade shelf inside a Radar Box. That way I don't have to worry about the weather Link to comment
