Valentine 1 in my mirror
It was a long project and I am finally almost done with it ...
With the Scott's ( member of this forum) help, I was able to make it work It looks pretty sick and the main thing is, that the V1 unit itself in not blocked by any metal objects (like a roof), because it is built into the rear center headrest Here are some pictures ... I documented a full installation but I just have no time to make a DIY ... For all of you who is looking to get it done, pm me and I'll hook you up Here is my car with 300 miles being taken apart This is where V1 unit is After 3h of uninstalling/installing stuff it is back in one piece Here is windshield without a mirror Allright, here it is Last edited by doba_s; 10-23-2009 at 02:46 PM.. |

Wow! That really looks clean!
How 'bout a DIY ....... Of course, this isn't going to work without a rear center headrest so ........ no e92 love. |

My rear seats look just like that and the mirrors must be the same.

I can be done on e92 cars as well ... The V1 unit can be placed into the rear passenger side headrest ... It will work just fine there too, since there are no metal obstructions on the way ...
Pm me if you want to get it done and I'll get you some info Last edited by doba_s; 10-22-2009 at 11:45 PM.. |

Did you have to etch the rear view or had custom glass made? |
