Ferrari Mailing List: NFC: Location of V1 in E38

[LtWacko (LtWacko]

Dennis, how'd ya get the V1 to fit in the E38 by the rearview mirror?   On my 
2000, the funky cutouts on the windscreen aren't large enough to allow the  
entire front of V1 to be exposed.  I thought I have to mount my V1 in the  
lower center of the windscreen for clear road view.  Advise....
 
Passport and others versus V1:
 
Years ago when I ran One Lap, we couldn't get a V1 in time due to it's  
popularity.  However, it was easy to get a Passport.  Going from track  to 
track, 
we ran in pretty much same group of cars.  Of course each of the  cars had 
varying radar detectors with the guys from Acura running the sole  V1 in the 
group.  Being in constant communication, we warned each other of  any stray 
radar 
bleeps.  Consistently, the V1 outdetected all brands of  radar detectors by 1 
MILE.  The V1 even detected a trooper from behind  running his radar gun live 
before it was even in sight.  We happen to be  the last car in line at the time 
and the "360 degree" protection of the  passport/rear detection indicator 
went off as the trooper was in our rearview  mirror!
 
Radar detectors since have definitely improved but without the second  
antenna and the "arrows", no other detector truly matches the V1 for  
protection.
 
One more anecdote...  I happen to be on the cell phone with one of the  
persons on the development team of the V1 while driving "aggressive"  on the 
highway out of town.  Next thing I know, I get one quick beep and  was being 
flagged 
down by a group of troupers.  I told the guy,  "$#it!!!  Couldn't you guys do 
something against instant on!!!"   LOL
