Valentine one in rearview BMW 135i Here are my results... V1 concealed display in mirror...it's not hard. I think it looks good. I may pursue getting the 1 way glass and updating this, but I'm going to rock it this way for a while to try it out. You just have to pry the mirror apart. It's a bunch of clips around the outside. my procedures were as follows: 1 - get a new mirror so I didn't mess up my original. 2 - Open mirror up (it's hollow, so there is plenty of room to work) 3 - disassemble V1 concealed display, and use what's left to trace onto the back side of the glass. Note: Make sure you account for the power wire. I had to make the scraped part of the glass bigger than I wanted because I ended up having to slide it more to the right. 4 - scratch all the backing off the mirror where you are planning on putting the V1. 5 - Attach the V1. I used a few strips of electrical tape. It's holding perfectly. There may be better methods of doing this, but it worked. 6 - cut a little slot in the top of the mirror (where the seams come together). This will allow the power cord to come out of the mirror when you reassemble. 7 - go to car, and plug in your wires (this DIY assumes you've already run/hidden the cables) 8 - reassemble and reattach mirror 9 - ??? 10 - profit!
