    So that m3 gave me a v1 idea

    I never noticed the 3rd brake light in the e30 m3



    what a prefect place to put a detector, and use the hidden display up front somewhere

    You are gonna get hit from the front 10 times more than the rear. And v1's dont have a secondary seperate sensor that I know of. What exactly are you thinkin? I am sort of interested.

      I think wiring it somehow next to or behind the front plate would be ideal...

      Then again I dont use one and just watch the road behind and ahead of me like a hawk. So far so good.

        behind the front license plate?

        wouldn't that block the range for the rear?


        i would just mount it in the back within the brake light housing, but make a cutout in front and back so it doesnt deter the range at all

          On the v1's though you are cutting way down on the sensors field of vision up front. WHich is where you want most of it. I just see it as you are gaining a little in the rear for huge losses up front. I have mine mounted behind my rearview. Concealed display in the HVAC. Work great, only people that notice it are passengers.

            On the newer cars they can actually input the display to the instrument cluster. It doesn't work for e60/e66/e90 gen. cars yet because they changed the onboard databus, but they have plans in the works I hear.

                If you have your V1 mounted in the top of the rear window, the sensor facing forward will have a much smaller field of vision as it will be competing with the roof.
