For $470 minimum (they don't specify what the V1 interface costs, and I 
bet the modules for doing extra stuff are just as $$$)...you've -got- to 
be joking.  It seems like you could probably get a pro installer to 
integrate the V1 remote display into the dash somehow for that kind of cash.

Honestly- I didn't bother with the remote display after I hard-wired the 
V1 up next to the rearview mirror.  If it beeps K/Ka, I slow down, and 
looking near the rear view mirror is something I'm pretty used to by now.

Does it really matter whether it's:

-BREEEEEEEEE
-look down, see "rear" arrow, Ka, and +++++++++++ strength
-look in rear view mirror to see flashy bits in side street turn on

or

-BREEEEEEEEE
-eyes dart to detector, but are distracted along the way by the sight in 
the rear view mirror of flashy bits turning on

You people need some help in the wallet lightening department- your 
fancy newer Audis with nav-display gee-gaws aren't doing a good enough 
job, apparently.  Contact me privately and I'll be more than happy to 
assist with my hedge fund (I take your funds, bury them behind my 
hedge).  I promise to leave A++++ SMOOTH TRANSACTION feedback.
