^I appreciate your comments
However I've installed both the fancy Escort and Bel "integrated" systems and used to have a K-40 as well. They are ok systems that are expensive to say the least and 100% married to the car. By the time the car gets a few years old this stuff becomes antique and worth little to no money as technology has changed again. I put the Escort in my friends S550 and took me just under 12 hours (at normal labor rates that's easily $1k+)
I don't know your background in these things or just believe in what you read but I've used this similar setup in over a dozen cars and on the highway, there is NO decrease in range and has worked flawlessly in my many drives down the interstate. None of what I said above in my first post is from reading other mfr' claims but from my real life usage. There is no loss in detection ability by moving the V1 main unit to the rear.
*The only time you CANNOT move the main unit to the rear is when your vehicle employs a touchscreen display such as the Lexus units because that trips the V1 sensors like crazy.
Back on topic, this is my rear mount all finished - just needs to be wired and then finish my front end installation.
A nice bonus fact to my setup is that you can still move the V1 main unit with the coil cord to any rental car while on vacation, etc.
