Thanks steve....that's exactly what I meant. If you hook it up to your mute, it will mute your stereo and the V1 will just beep at it's normal level so you can hear it.

Also, I mounted my V1 in the 3rd brake light housing in my 1995 M3, works like a charm. I get very little attenuation of the signal because the rear deck and 3rd brake light components are made of plastic or cardboard with radar goes right through. Completely stealth. As an added benefit, I got the rear view mirror with the concealed display mounted behind it. See http://www.apexcone.com/Radar/RadarLove.html for more details. It's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Virtually impossible for someone to steal, and cops can't even find it if they're in the car!!
