I just put the X50 on the windshield and plug the cord in the side outlet on the passengers side. Doesn't seem like there are too many options. Doesn't look all that great, but keeps me from losing my license and riding a bike to work.

I've got the V1 with the little remote display box.
I put the little box right under the digital speedometer so I can see my speed and the location of the threat in one glance.
When the remote box is in use the main unit (which is on the windshield) doesn't light up at all which is great. It eliminates tail gaiters and the lack of flashing red lights lighting up you cockpit will keep you from getting noticed by a trailing or stationary cop.

The great thing about the arrows is that the second you have passed the radar the arrow points sideways and then behing you. There is no guessing and you can exhale. What I like most is the long periods of silence. No more constantly checking all my mirrors searching for that phantom cop.

like Rail, I just stick the suction cups on the windshield and go. I set it as high up under the mirror as I can - I think it reads better than low on the dash. It's not pretty...
