    Where did you mount your Valentine 1?

    I'm about to hardwire mine but I've discovered a few things - Suction cups won't stick to the "dot matrix" above the RVM (rearview mirror) - Even if they would work (say I put tape or tint over the dot matrix) the V1 doesn't line up and get a good signal from both the front and the back. It's...
