Gauging interest in Valentine 1 display, hidden in DIC? - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Andrew Paypal sent !! I cant wait to get mine.. So all you need is the portable mini display and the information center core right?

Im surprised these are not flying off your bench. I love my hidden display but it was velcroed to the radio surround and looked very tacky. This will clean up this very nicely and I can hide the cables behind the radio surround. Very clean install idea!!!

Curious. Where do you hide the main unit?

I hide my V1 in my BMW, use the display unit in my rear view mirror and love it!

Ha Ha in Plain sight. It literally sits above the IP and points out the cutout. On the 91 there is a little flat portion where it rests. I have an awesome dashmat and its velcro to the underside. A hat will the bill facing the foward hides it completely. If I go on a long trip I can always pull it. And if im pulled over by officer friendly the spare hat immediates goes into play.

The only give away was the hdden display. Which was velcroed to the radio surround (I always hated that!!!) Now with Andrews solution which rocks!! It will be even more stealth.

Daryll, yep, just the concealed display, your DIC (no keypad, just the white eggcrate light housing), and if you have it, the power cord for the display.

I hate having wires and stuff visible in my interiors.

David, the main unit is up near the rear view mirror for now, using the suction cup mount. I'd like to come up with something to secure it to the windshield header but that's low on my list of priorities.

I like the mirror display you have in your BMW... but I've got another project cooking involving the rear view mirrors for our cars

Don't you want one of these for your '94?

Ummmmm

I bought a spare rear view mirror with that "intent" but want a place to hide the main unit

Pics added of additional model year styles:

Here's a 90, mounted in far upper left corner, to allow "full engine power" light to remain functional.
