A few questions if you do not mind:

2. My front windshield has light window tint on it. Will this prevent the operation of the Radar detector, whether Valentine 1 or otherwise? The window tint did not in any way impair the operation of my Valentine 1 on any of several previous cars.

3. My car is a 2020 M5 Competition and has Executive Package, Driver's Assistance, etc. Which specific portion of the Radar Detector do I need to tape over? And will this impair the operation of the Radar Detector or of the Car?

Thank you very much for your efforts!
Meh, I just sold my Valentine One (and I had the most updated version). Just too many damn false alerts in my M550i.....couldn't trust it anymore. Not only that, my M5 I just bought has gesture control....and I'm just not rigging some electrical tape to cover something in a $115k car.

I just bought a Uniden R7 which doesn't have the issue with gesture control (and is rated better than the V1 anyways).

V1 gave me many good years, though.....was very happy with it and had it for 15 years or so. Just too much damn technology now interfering...
