will there be much effect if one was to mount the radar detector where the circular dotted tint is located at the very top of the windsheild as seen from the picture below?

None at all. I tested above and below the mirror. My V1 is permanently above left side of the mirror (and can see out the back perfectly).

just mounted my V1 in the same spot and added the Savvy unit. Ran the cable under the headliner and tucked it in the pillars rubber trim down to the OBD connection.

This powers the V1 plus mutes alerts when traveling below a pre set speed. (I set it at 35mph)

Interesting. Hadn't heard about the Savvy unit. Going to have have to look into this. Not sure where my OBD port is...

X5FX,

Thanks. I've ordered the Savvy.

FYI. I find the V1 works better on the left side of the mirror. I have the V1 remote but, having the V1 on left side of mirror attachment, makes it really easy to mute it (when necessary).

No, not better reception. As I said, easier to mute when I need to because the main unit is on my side of the mirror.

Do you, or anyone else with a Savvy, have a Concealed Remote? I can't get it to work right. I have just sent Valentine One an email describing the problem but this is basically what I end up with... "My final result is always an “A” on the main unit and various LEDs continuously flickering around on the Remote. Intermittently, the main unit reboots itself. Also, intermittently, all the LEDs flicker on and off for a few minutes on the main unit and the remote."
