Custom V1 Mirror Install in E92 M3
I recently did a V1 concealed display install for friend's E92 M3 and thought I'd share a few pics. We hid the main V1 inside his rear headrest and radar reception is 100%. You will lose Laser detection doing it this way, but most agree laser detectors are not effective. My buddy had a laser jammer installed, which is the best way to prevent getting caught by laser. I was able to do a couple of pretty cool things with this mirror - he has the oem mirror with the compass and I was able to manipulate the mirror to allow the display to illuminate through the glass with no etching and not lose the auto dimming feature. Any of the newer model BMW's that do not have the compass have to replace the glass and give up auto dimming with this mod. I've done a few of those as well for some local friends and with the replacement glass I use so far glare hasn't been an issue. The other thing I did was I linked the mute button to one of his homelink buttons so we didn't have to drill a hole in his mirror casing for a separate button.

Can you post more details of the install? Pics of what the unit looks like in the headrest? Where you need to run wires? How the unit is controlled, etc?

Not really, I build mirrors with integrated boost and wideband gauges for Horsepower Freaks and do the V1 mirrors for whoever wants one. Mostly a hobby for me, I do a couple of these a week.
