Excellent.


For those on the fence, the V1 can be hard-wired into the dome light. There's DIY on Renntech I think. No need to mess the cigarette lighter. Also with the tiny remote display box, placed under the speedo, you can avoid all the blinking in cabin that attract tail-gaters or smokeys.

p.s.
As for the "need" for a radar detector, I've been pulled over more times in the Boxster than all previous cars combined. Ironic in that I drive within 10 miles of the speed limit for the most part. These cars have a knack of attracting their own small town police escorts. I avoid local roads in small towns like the plague. Big city cops could care less what you're driving or how fast. State troopers different story.
