Help please...

1. Where is your V1 unit located? Not the concealed display, the actual V1.
2. What mode do you drive around in? Why?
3. Any problems I should be aware of?

Probably not very hard questions to answer, but I just want to make sure I use it right. Anything else I should know? Thanks. I appreciate any help.

I mounted mine above the rear view mirror, between the mirror and the headliner with the suction cup mount. I have excellent range in the Logic mode, and no issues with getting picked off for speeding(window tint is a different story).

I just have mine mounted via suction cup on the middle lower windsheild so it can point reverse too. Works fine for me. I run it in Hwy mode pretty much all the time No issues.

Mine is at the same spot as yous except I use the visor mount, reversed it and clipped it into the headliner. No view of ugly suction cups from exterior

I almost did that, but I have a shaded area around the mirror, so they are hidden anyways.

i just have mine hard wired a little under the rear view mirror with the suction cup mounts and i use it in full logic mode.

I mount mine low in the windshield.

I run in logic mode with K band programmed out. Too many shopping centers and junk in LA.

Thanks a lot for the help guys.

Whats the difference between the 2 logic modes?

Anyone have PICS?

I just purchased this setup from a board member. It looks pretty slick. I'll have it installed by the weeks end. The rear-view mirror houses the controls and the display. The unit is mounted in a modified rear speaker grill housing that I'm told has a perfect sight line.

Wow. Very clean

Do you still have the RS4? I'm considering part ex-ing my M3 for one, though most liklihood is I'll stick with the Beemer

Rock

Yes, I've decided to keep it for a while. Actually, the more I drive it the better I like it. I had it as well as my E55 at a car show yesterday and you would have thought I was a rock star. Mostly a muscle car crowd but those guys sure do love German machinery.

BTW, I looked at the new M3 and I'm just not feeling it. Keep the E46......now that's a timeless car.

The Godfather

I'll have to show you guys my V1 setup, pretty sure nobody has seen it done like this before I just installed it all yesterday. I'll take pics and show you guys tomorrow.

Please do... Can I ask what the differene between logic and advanced logic is please? Idk which to use.

one is "city" one is "highway"

go to the web site. the unit is actually highly configurable.

Thank you. I must say I still think the E46 M3 is one of the most beautiful cars on the road and the I6 just sings. I will very likely keep it but my main reason is wifee will kill me if I spend anymore on autos and just getting my daughter a mini and upgrading from my '99 F150.

I saw an RS4 just yesterday though and man that is a beauty. Glad you like it. I've heard nothing but good things and the perfect foil for the freeway power of the E55.

I use the big L. Cuts down on the false alarms. Never failed me.

jdeastbay

Agree, big L "metro mode" is the way to go. Much less chatter. I'm mounted just left of rear view, straight shot front and back.

I Like Soup

Well, I was gonna link my thread that had pictures of the hardwire job I did and the location, but the thread is gone?

Mine is hardwired to the upper electrical console and sits right above the left side of my rear view mirror with a clear view to the front and back as well. Works great.

where did you pull power from ?

There's a button somewhere on the main screen (I think at the bottom) where you can select what pots to show. Default is "post from last month" I think.
