Thanks for sharing that incredibly articulate rebut.
No thanks. I elect to continue to speak up against distracted operators. IMO, a driver has one priority. That is not: making videos; texting; chatting on the phone; cosmetic application; reading, or any activity other than safely piloting their motor vehicle.
IMO the two greatest risks to motorists are bad operators and distracted operators. I encounter many Massachusetts operators during my commute and their legendary reputation is well deserved.
It is however interesting to hear the justifications for that conduct.

back on topic, i mounted my v1 as high as i possibly could now for 2 reasons
1. the higher the better supposedly
2. its now behind the tint band on the windshield, less visible to thiefs!

if u drive fast, always replace your brakes ASAP when the brake message is on. i have it many times idiots cut infront of me (like from a intersection) and if i dont slam on the brake hard, i definitely hit those losers!

Rocker Switch for V1 Installed
I got really sick of having to twist the knob on the v1 to turn on/off the unit everytime I got in and out of the car, so I went to autozone, bought some wires and a rocker switch and went to work!

Just wondering, why don't you tap the V1 into a switched power source, so it turns on/off automatically along with the ignition?
Oh, and do you leave the V1 up there all the time? (I'd be afraid of a smash + grab)

because i only have experience with tapping the driver side fusebox and there arent switched power sources in there....i THINK i may have found one, but i need to experiment a bit more to confirm
and yeah it stays up there like 99% of the time, ive only taken it down like 3 times and thats usually in the city....im getting a 6" strip of 5% tint on saturday installed so that should help hide it even more

If you find a switched power source in the front let me know. The only one I know of is the cigarette lighter but that would be a pain. I need to hard wire my X50 to switched power...I'm sick of turning it on and off

or you can run a wire from fuse #7 in the rear.
