Hi all,

I know I've seen some of the in mirror installs of the remote display but has anyone come up with any other areas to install the remote concealed display on their w204s?

Here's what the display looks like..

I have one, but I haven't used it yet. I keep my V1 tucked between the roof lining and my rear view mirror.

Yeah mine is about the same spot, I got the savvy attachment which made hard wiring a joke, it took me 10 minutes to string Rj11 cable up the A pillar and over to V1 along the headliner...

Now where to install the concealed display, ideally somewhere that's fairly easy to mute a signal if need be

I put mine on the dash to the left of the instrument cluster.

Wow, that is a super clean install. Thanks for sharing.

Was that difficult to do?

Where's your actual V1 unit?

Because in Virginia, radar detectors are illegal and having my mirror light up for everyone behind me to see is bad news bears.

As far as my install, it took about 3 hours of careful masking, dremeling and test fitting. That little panel with the seat heater buttons and the sun shade button....$380. I broke mine but found one on eBay for $60 luckily and did it right the second time. The main unit is mounted above the rear view mirror.

THAT'S what I'd like.

I was just about to post the mirror installs too darn!

I have a V1 hidden mirror install in my W210 but seem to remember Midcity Engineering selling an interface that would show the Valentine alerts up on the MB gauge cluster for the newer MB's. Pretty much as stealth and factory looking as you could possibly get. I must admit I was a bit jealous they didn't offer it for the older cars. I just looked on their website and they are only showing Escort and K40 now but I did find a post here on MB world confirming they did at one point do the V1. Might give them a ring.
