    Also use mirror mount.

    Love my V1. Here in GA popo will sit sometimes in the middle of NO WHERE in my travels. If my V1 makes a peep on these back roads I listen to her every time. When I drive by them at the exact speed limit they always look perplexed.

    I guess I should have been more clear, I have been through the update process with Valentine three times since '99.

    I did research V1 G2 and read many posts after I posted.

    Thanks!

    I also run the Mirror Mount on my Valentine. I'd recommend it. Occasionally you will get a very minor rattle from where the Valentine contacts the mount but its not substantial.

    Dashcam and V1 share 1 harness and pull power and ground from the RVM connector.

    For mounting, I just trimmed and screwed the V1 bracket to a gopro mount.

    X2 Blend Mount for mounting to the mirror plus Mirror Tap to power it is the only way to go. Very clean install. Waiting on feedback from Gen 2 owners. Gen 1 has been great for the last 15+ years with the updates.blendmount.jpg

    its good enough for some testers to say they are switching back to the V1. If that tells you anything.

    V1 has been great in my last 4 trucks. We will see on the second generation. Only time will tell.
