V1 direct wire installation for 218
Sick of this cord hanging in my face and am wondering if anyone has direct wired a V1 to a 218 yet? Thanks!

from my understanding you can hardwire it to the lamp..
here's the kit hopefully there's someone out there that can help you with the install

hahha nice glad you got something that worked out! i've never owned a v1.
i have the escort 9500ix it's a bit different. i'll have to show you at the benz meet. they've recently came out with a bluetooth device that will interact with your smart phone. so you can see everything on a map, change settings etc.. wish i had V1 arrows though

So I ordered it and they sent me an e-mail asking what kind of car I had to make sure that they would be sending the right brackets. When I replied that I had a CLS 63 they told me that these do not work with MB cars and that they would cancel the order.
Very very strong customer service...they could have just sent what I ordered and played dumb....

I've since moved the detector up and to the left so you see zero wire.
Man I'm having fun....

tat is awesome, because most sales folk would just go for the sale......but I guess this cat saw the headache in the future.......if it was mbparts online or some other retarded vender, then it probably would have been info you learned the day it arrived, and didn't fit, LOL......

So I also installed the clear markers but just changed them again to smoked. I think it looks better...look at the thumbnail vs. the signature pic and let me know what you think.
I also am waiting for my stickers for the side mirrors that say....Object in the Mirror are Losing...

Every once and a while you meet an honest vendor...funny thing is that I just didn't need it.

im confused, why would you want to accentuate the ugliest thing on the car?
(im having mine paint matched black.)

I like it smoked vs. color matched on my DW car, contrasts the body color and matches my freefall'd headlights perfectly. Also I like that they're at least somewhat functional, though dim.
