I have a second gen Valentine 1 along with the remote display unit which I have wedged inside the fuzzy hole. Fits perfectly. Hard to see if the sun is coming from the right angle... other than that, it works great.
Oh, btw, the V1 is the only detector to get. I did a test with a friend (in different cars) couple years ago. He had my old Bel (can't remember model, but it was one of the higher end ones), and I had my then new V1. We drove from the SF Bay Area along HWY101 all the way up into Canon Beach, OR then over into Portland. The V1 sniffed out smokey at least a mile before the Bel had any idea something was up.
Last week I took a trip down to Salem, OR along I-5 and on the way back the V1 detected radar approx. 4 miles away from where the state trooper was parked (behind a bush). A 4Runner who had been tailgating for a while passed me and sped onward... needless to say he ended up a couple hundred dollars less that day.
On to something a little more on-topic... has any one come across any decent ultrasonic backup assist kits? like the ones you see on BMW's, Merc's, and some Ford Escapes? I think something like that would be a little more practical than a "come and steal me" LCD monitor. If they see a monitor, they know you probably have a DVD player... amp... etc. All sorts of reason to break in, cause damage, and make your life hell.
