Just got my car back from the shop where they hardwired a V1 and Blinder Xtreme MX-20 Laser Jammer into my CLS. The guys at Technicar did a fantastic job. It almost looks like a factory option.

Have a look at the pics.
The V1 installed in the rearview mirror. Notice the L and the arrow display.


Here is a view from the side. You can clearly see the strength indicator and frequency band leds.




Stashed away in the ashtray compartment is the fully operational V1 knob. Just above it is the Blinder Xtreme status LED, green all is well, red is jammer on.




They stashed the laser detector / jammers just below the upper bumper and to the insides of the fog lights. This allows for unobstructed view of the road.






I gotta give the boys at Technicar is NYC props. It only took them two days and they did a fantastic job. I couldn't be happier.

very clean and well done.... i will be seeing them soon....u have pm.

prsmith777

where is the V1 main unit installed?

t-bone

What was the approximate cost with installation?

Redbud

The V1 recievers are installed between the roof and the headliner. You can't even tell they are there.

The directional arrows work perfectly, and the radar dector has not lost any range.

I think the integration into the rearview mirror is the best part of the install. How'd they do that?

ldangeli

Etching with acid.

edspider

Beautiful install. Etching is just gorgeous. What did they charge for this work of art?

koreanpers

interested to see how good the blinder works for you. I just got a laser ticket last week i was going 75 in a 65...and then it dropped to 55 right before an overpass..and my passport 8500 x50 went off on laser and i hit my brakes. got it down to 71...but still got a ticket.

Redbud

They charged be $2500 to install both the Laser Jammer and the V1. It took them about 5 hours just for the Laser Jammer because I needed to get custom mounts made.

Any chance you can show us a photo of where the V1 is placed? You have me looking in my car to figure out how I can do this and not have the V1 blocked by the roof. They did an awesome installation job. I know you must be happy with it.

dinko

Beautiful. Had the same thing done in my SLK55. Please provide us with more details on where the V1 was hidden.

jgsx

Yes, please provide pics of the hidden V1 main unit!!

jgsx

Any updates on the hidden V1? Has anyone ever seen one or heard of this elsewhere?

ldangeli

I know of a company in NJ that will do it as well. They also offer a few other options of hidding the remote unit in a snap panel on the dash so the cop behind you can't see the V1 in the mirror. Plus they don't charge 2500 for that setup. They are set to do my ML this way.

jgsx

I'd still love to see a pic of a hidden main V1 unit. I've scoured the interent, and people say they have them/seen them, but then never come through with a pic

ldangeli

The only thing you need now for that car is the Milan collection from Strut Wear. That looks hot!

Can anyone provide pictures of a hidden main V1 unit on any vehicle EVER? I've still yet to find one, and i've looked *hard*

ldangeli

No one is going to show you a hidden completed unit, that would give up the answer to how they do it. And with people paying 2500 an install, no one wants to give away secrets.

What is the name of the Co. and where are the located. I am very interest in getting this done also. I am located in central jersey.

ldangeli

They are located in Lebanon, NJ on Rt. 22. Its called SR Audio. 908 437 0222. Call them. Ask for Shaun.

Redbud

Ill spill the beans...

They took the unit apart. The control knob and buzzer are in the ashtray compartment (per my request); the rest of the system is hidden in the rearview mirror.

If your in NYC and want to get it done talk to Ramon @ Technicar 212.765.4777 tell them Jose sent you.

cyntaxx

Don't they just sell the remote indicator that is integrated into the rearview for $300-500? I swear I've seen a company sell the entire assembly that you can buy to interface with your existing V1.

Redbud

Im sure you could do that. But then your V1 would need to be on the dashboard or on your visor (somewhere visible). I wanted my V1 to be completely hidden from view. That way I won't need to take it down after I park on the streets.

ldangeli

Actually, the sell the mirror already assembled. its the same as what you have. the remote unit is put into the mirror and wired to the main unit which is hidden up in the head liner. The mirrors are sold for 700 - 1000 depending on the car. its big with the porsche guys. They tend to spend. Its no secret how it is done.
