I need to have my V-1 radar detector hot wired into my 993tt and would appreciate a referral to a south Orange County stereo shop. I plan to hang it from the passenger visor as I did in my previous 993 unless someone has a better idea.

Thanks!

Hey Bill,

In my experience with a V1 I have noticed on several different cars that the visor clip does not work very well.
It is difficult to aim the V1 correctly with the clip mount.
I would recommend you hanging the V1 high with the suction mount on the front window.

Sorry I can't help recommend a shop for you but any stereo place should be able to do it quite easily. It's a simple install.

good luck.

Hi B-Line,

I had it mounted that way in my '96. FYI, I used a little squezy stress ball (about 2' in dia.) that I had laying around. It kept the visor from laying flat against the headliner and the V1 level. Simple but effective.

I'm always affraid of the V1 falling off of the widow, which does happen it seems. If others were having success with this I'd like to know.

Regards,

Bill

Hey Bill,

Sounds like a good idea. FYI, in my 6yrs of owning a V1, I've never had it fall off the window. It just needs a good lick on the suction cup.

And, by mounting it on the window, the passenger can still use the sunshade if need be.

but I don't see any reason not to clip hang it if you have it worked out right..

Oh yeah,

One more thing,

I would seriously consider getting the concealed display before you do the install. That way they can do it all at once.

I've found the concealed display to be extremely useful. It keeps "hangers" from staying on your tail because they know you have a radar.
Also, in my experience, Police don't love drivers who have radars. By using the concealed display, it's much harder for the man to know your using one..

Bill, if its not too far Jamey at Paris Audio is very experienced with Porsches and did my V-1 & concealed display install. He is near Century City.
