The extra 1/4-1/2 inch in height makes the remote visible and does not block the OBC. Its amazing how reliable velcro is.
As an aside, i also used double sided velcro to help attach the suction cups of the V1 to the windshield.

Once I found out how to get the face of the phone console off (thanks Kelly) for a switched power source, the hardwire install took about 15 minutes.

I am happy with using the factory suction cup bracket to mount the unit just above the dash in the center. It can detect out the back window between the seats.
It is a shorter run for the hardwire, which I ran up the right side of the dash and along the base of the windshield. Easy to reach to hit the button to mute the alarm. Also, it swings out of the way when I use the fitted sunshield.

I mounted mine on the rear shelf and use a consealed display unit for visual information. The height of the rear shelf gives the V1 a very clear line of sight both forward and rear. I tend to feel that mounting the V1 above the rear view mirror will not give it a clear line of sight for the rear as our roof swoops down toward the rear, partially blocking the V1's line of sight. Just IMHO
