V1 radar detector install
I was wondering if any of you have pointers or guidance on hard wire install and best low key placement of a valentine 1 radar detector in my 2011 GT.

Find a keyed power and a ground. Hide the wiring. It's simple. I have all three of my vehicles hardwired for a V1

Kind of off topic but is this a good detector? I'm pretty sure I'll need one soon. Can't keep my foot out of it.

I need to get a blend mount. I have a suction cup one that is adjustable.
I have two V1's and a escort redline. I live the v1 in the city area and redline for long open roads.

Yeah, it's a little pricey, but looks the best in my opinion. Mine is a passport 9500ix, but same concept.

Are the detectors in general worth it? I mean idk how anyone could react quick enough when a beam of light is put on their car...

Yes, they're worth it.. Depending on the settings, once you know the radar bands used in your area and/or wide spread they help even the playing field. Detectors help more to keep you check daily driving and the tickets I've gotten, I either didn't have it on or was going to fast yet it turned a court date into an expensive ticket. FYI however you mount it make sure you can take it down out of the sun when parked.

Correct. I mean don't most jurisdictions in the metroplex use nothing but lidar at this point?
