The Concealed Display may be attached directly to the Lighter Adapter (see Note below). Or you may mount it anywhere using self-stick interlocking fasteners, then connect with the power cord (included) to either the Lighter Adapter or Direct-Wire Power Adapter (both included with V1).
Mute and Mode selection are controlled by the Control Knob on the Display (On-Off and Volume adjustments remain on V1). This compact module measures only 1.0-in. H x 2.5-in. W x 1.2-in. D. Satin-black finish matches V1.
Note: This "attachment" is not possible with the old single-wire Lighter Adapter used up through 1997. Replace with Adapter (Item 20319) as used on today's V1.
Includes: Concealed-display module; Power cord, 8-ft.; Power cord, 3-in.; Display-module backplate (for mounting); self-stick interlocking fasteners.

Now, you don't have to take your eyes off the road to see the display and the device can be placed within easy arms reach to access the mute button when needed. If your V1 is powered from the cigarette lighter, you can install this unit in 2 minutes or less. If you are running hidden wires, the straight wire is easy enough to route and the unit is small/light enough that the included "velcro" or (in my case) double sided tape will hold it in place.
As far as ease of use, the remote display acts just like the display/controls on the V1 itself. Split volume knobs, arrows and band indicators are all there. This unit does not shift the source of the audio which still comes from the V1 itself, it only moves the visual display and the controls. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Valentine One Concealed Display for Radar Detector (Electronics) I had to get this because some dumb swine saw my light on the radar detector and chased me three miles down the interstate to see what the light was. Fortunately I was not speeding (obviously I have a radar detector) so all he could do is look for it on my dash when he pulled up next to me, but I had already taken it down so he could not see it. It did make me laugh though, he got so butthurt about it that he had his buddy cop ride my bumper for ten miles a few minutes later in the hopes that I had put the radar detector back up when he drove off. Also, people read this and ask do people really ride your bumper when they see you have a radar detector? YES!! It is beyond annoying. They can get their own radar detector or go the speed limit instead of trying to mooch off of someone else. So, long story short, if you have a V1 and drive a car (because trucks are higher up and normally people cant see the V1) then get this, unless you like dealing with mooches and annoying cops.
