Can the detector be removed quickly/easily without removing the suction cup? (V1 illegal in neighoring state; need to remove/install daily.)

Yes, very easily. Just unplug cord and slide the detector out of the mount.

The detector slides out of the bracket just like the stock one. So very quick and easy to do. I wouldn't recommend trying to slide it back in while driving though.

Yes, it's as easy as removing the V1 from the original mount supplied by the vendor.

Yes, just make sure you use some type of shim to level the detector. I use a rolled up washcloth and place it between the visor and the ceiling of my car. Anything will work as a shim that doesn't damage your car.

Well, mine came with a sticky substance in conjunction with the suction cup, so I would say no. I haven't tried to remove it from my dash but I believe it would be difficult. Maybe there is a way to remove the sticky stuff? Not sure.

It does. The mount that comes with it has two little suction cups on a clip. I drape my power cord over my rear view mirror just incase the cups loose suction. That keeps the detector from falling.

Yes you can remove. If you DIY while installing you can easily take it off when you move.

I can relate to your concern. Here in Texas, there are a couple of REQUIRED stickers on the windshield that are far more intrusive than this camera. My camera, operated with the screen flipped up, is mounted on the windshield behind the rearview mirror and causes essentially no obstruction or distraction. You could stick it to the windshield with some glue (like Shoe Goo) so that technically it is no longer a "suction" mount. :-)

It does not assist the main detector, and it would add weight to the shaft of the main detector. Turn it off and put it in your pocket/holster/apron, whatever.

If you mean relocating the suction cup, yes you can. It is a silicone suction cup and is sensitive to dust and grit, but you can wash that off easily to renew it. I keep a plastic bag around the suction cup when it is detached to keep it from collecting dust.

I doubt it can be removed, but I haven't tried. I use it for a spotting scope and not a camera. It is stable and works for me.

That's your call. With mine I just leave on the vehicle, you never know when you might need it ? I have in the past, removed them once, for me it was no rocket science to remove them or re-install them.

Gregory,You may also want to get the friction mount versus using the suction mount that comes with the unit. I ordered one at Amazon.com for about $28 (free shipping). The suction mount leaves a mark on the windshield that can be spotted by thiefs who might then break into your vehicle looking for your gps.You can hide the friction mount under your seat and then take the gps with you (best idea) or at least hide it somewhere (best not to put it in the glove compartment).Happy Thanksgiving.Allanwww.nosweatspeaking.com

You don't have to unscrew the platform. The batteries are located in the party that is detachable. The sensor and light work excellent so far. Installed easily for about 3 months now.

The install of the mount should not require wire cutting or taking the mirror apart. Are you also going to order a MirrorTap or similar device to power your radar detector? If so, you would need to figure out where you are going to tap into a power and ground.

Two suction cups secure the unit to the windshield and the power cord conveniently plugs into a nearby 12-volt outlet. Pull the power plug, grab the detector unit and go - pretty quick and convenient. Enjoy!

Oh, sorry I aanswered for the eadar detector. No the dashboard magic mounting pad is awesome. Works great!

I don't know what the others are talking about but if you read the manual it will explain to you how to bypass a sensor or a motion detector. If you have difficulty how to bypass a sensor or a motion detector, you can also call Mile. He will explain to you to do it. Good luck.

Has a suction cup similar to GPS/Radar detectors. Works well. I was able to run the wire around the liner of the windshield to hide it. It sits discretely behind my rearview mirror.
