I have mine suction cupped to windshield just to right of mirror on passenger side. Ran power cord from the fuse box up a-pillar and across header (behind the trim of course). Due to rake of the windshield, it's pretty well tucked under header and suction cups are in the tint zone. If I don't take down when parked w/ top down, I fold down passenger side visor which pretty well covers it. My concealed display is velcro'd to dash hidden behind my state insp & emissions stickers (driver's side corner of windshield. Not the most "hidden" but pretty inconspicuous... all depends on interior colors too though. Top up, can't see either... top down, concealed display can be visible but certainly doesn't jump out at you. It's nicely in line of sight while driving yet inconspicuous too other motorists, etc.

Others have taken the concealed display and hidden it in the rear view mirror or 'batwing'.

Good luck

^ Like Burg Boxster pointed out I believe there is a DIY thread on Rennlist or RennTech that shows how to wire the V1 to your dome light so that you won't need the cigarette light adaptor for power.
Very handy. Turn on the car, V1 has power. I think, not sure, that you have to snap off the cover to the A pillar to hide the phone cord wire from the V1 to the remote box if you have one? That remote box is a must have and keeps the flashing light from getting the attention of the Polize hanging out on the side of the road with his lazer gun.
As far as position, you basically suction cup the V1 right above the rearview, a tight fit but it works.
