I'm going to try and mount my V1 inside the pocket in the headliner. I realize that this will screen it a bit, and defeat laser detection, but I drive in VA and DC a bit where detectors are illegal. I plan on making the cord long enough to allow me to whip it out and stick it over the mirror with the suction cups when it's legal.
I've already mounted the remote unit inside the ash tray. It fits very well if you dremel out the bottom corners of the ash tray a bit.
Now I want to drop the headliner to run the wires, and make a clean hole in the pocket. It looks pretty easy from the shop manual. Does anyone know if the plastic headliner plugs are reusable? I pulled one out, and it's a little scrunchy along the shaft. They are $8.50 EACH from my local dodge dealer. It's just a little plastic plug. Talk about a viper tax. I think there are 6, so that's like a million dollars if my math is correct. Anyone know another source for them? Are they a generic part available from Pep Boys? Anyone tried to mount their radar detector in there? Any headliner tricks or tips?
