Supposedly it's better to mount it up higher where it can "see" forward and backward clearly. The old K40 was designed to put the main unit in any covert location inside the car and the microwave detector remotely where it would get the best signal. The V1 has its detector in the main box so is not as flexible.

In my Audi I hardwired it up high between the mirror and passenger sunvisor. I have the remote display unit but haven't bothered to mess with it yet.

The really trick installation is inside a customized rear view mirror, and you could even mount the remote display in the dash alongside the stock gauges. Iff'n I get a new daily driver I might just try one of both of those projects.
