In an effort to keep my unblemished driving record that way, I'm considering buying a V-1 for the NSX. I don't generally speed excessively but as some of you have probably noticed, a red NSX tends to attract unwanted attention
So, here is my dilemma. Va. outlaws radar detectors so I have to be somewhat stealthy. In a car this low, I assume up higher is better than sitting on the dashboard, especially for the rear view. A power cord draped across the dash is also somewhat undesirable as well as drawing more attention. The PO had a remote Whistler installed, running to the small receiving unit hidden in the ashtray but it was a POS and worse than worthless since it instilled a sense of security that didn't exist. I removed the whole thing and booted it into the trash receptacle. I've also had an Escort Solo in the past and might as well have just thrown the money out an open window while driving down the road. I believe the Valentine is the best detector out there and so that's what I'm going to get if I can figure all this out.
So, open to suggestions to somehow hardwire it in and perhaps mount if to the top of the rearview mirror (?). Or, has anyone come up with a clever may to mount it with a GPS so that it looks almost like one unit? It's a targa top so whatever limitations that imposes has to also be considered.
Really appreciate any ideas (other than the obvious one of just do not speed - you drive the speed limit on I-95 around here and you'll be run over by a soccer mom in a mini-van on her cell phone or an eighteen wheeler who thinks he's doing the cannonball run).
