Stealth Valentine1 Display by Toy Guy
I got a Valentine1 recently, and along with it I got the Remote Display, which I plan to install it stealthily on my beast.
I have doing it per Toy Guy Design's recommendation.
I will be taking pictures of the install and setup.
I plan to do a write up on this as I already started taking prep pix before doing the install. Toy Guy is currently working on fabricating the stealth remote display setup per his pix.
Once delivered, I'll finish the job, and do the write up.
I helped do an install on a B5 S4 yesterday, and it was easy.
The RS6 won't prove to be much of a difference in my opinion.
Toy Guy will fabricate the stealth remote display setup, and the mute swith that goes on the lever. His website shows also the mute switch on the door, but that is harder to setup, and he's moving to do only lever mute switches from this point on.
Erik...is it possible to host the write up with pix on the RS6.com website? I know that Toy Guy is not a paying advertiser here, but I was wondering if that is going to cause any conflicts?
I plan to do the write up anyway, and post it, but if you don't want it done, I can just host it on my site, and put a link to it on this forum. Just an idea.
Here's some preliminary pix of the goods:

Nelson, please keep us posted.
I plan to do the same on my S6:thumb:
I think the main unit is still near the rear view mirror.
It would be great if V1 came out with a remote unit.
One that you could mount the front and rear rec. units high in the car, with the display on the dash. I'm going to ask Mike V about that, it is a good idea.
Edit: V1 stated that the remote unit was so down on sensitivity that they scrapped the idea. They were mounted in the front grill. I asked if they would consider making the unit smaller, but they said that it is limited by the antenna size and did not want to decrease the size for that reason.

nene, go ahead! It's to the benefit of all the members avoiding tickets :D But please try to keep the speed limits in town and around schools etc. Thanks!
If you or I host the pics doesn't matter to me.
