I mounted my V1 to the right of the rear view mirror with the suction cup mount- I had it hard wired with the wire running under the roof liner to a hot wire point. Cost me $50 to get it done. The wire is out of the way and it really isn't seen from outside. Initially I didn't think the suction cups would be good but I had the V1 mounted in the same spot for 2 and half years and it didn't come loose once.
