The standard cups seem to be "just enough" to hold it in place so I have replaced with slightly larger cups from Lowe's. Never falls off now... |

does anyone else with a 360 have a hard time getting the suction cups to "suck" on the windshield for the V1??? mine have never stuck so i end up having to rest the detector on the dash which i know inhibits its effectiveness. |

Mr. Valentine won't sponsor a message board. He does quite well with his car and driver advertisements and the like. |

There is a company in NY that sells V1s that had been installed inside of your rear view mirror with the warning arrows intergreated in the mirrow itself. It really looks neat. You can take a look at it at www.bmwm5.com |

How about several people write him and recomend that he advertise on here. I don't solicit sponsors except from my little banner in the rotation. Good idea. |

Thanks Fred, P1 overnight - can't wait to try it out! Like Ty was hinting at - I could not believe all the support for the V1! Johnny |

Ty, I just ordered one "tonight" after all the reviews from F-chatters!! I am amazed that not one person supported the 8500 - I assumed that the field would be split and I would order another 8500 - one thing for sure - it never hurts to ask on F-Chat, you just had better be ready for the answers??
