New DashTronix Radar Projector! Display your radar detector on the DIC, HUD, or both!
DashTronix is proud to announce the arrival of the new Radar Projector Ver 1.1.
Available for the Valentine 1 and Escort 9500ci (custom install) radar detectors.
For the Escort 9500ci Radar Projector version thread click here.
Update: New speed controlled auto mute function available as an option for the Valentine 1 Radar Projector. Click the link below.
Speed controlled auto mute function
We have amazing new features we're excited to announce to the Corvette community. Our existing
customers who already have a Radar Projector™ will be able to upgrade to these new features for very low cost.
Now you can display your Valentine 1™ radar detector in your DIC, HUD and even BOTH with the new v1.1 . Radar Projector! The RP is only displayed in street mode of the HUD.
The tiny Radar Projector™ comes with everything you need right out of the box. It plugs into your car at the OBD-II port under the steering column with the included cable. It automatically controls the power to your Valentine 1™, using the telephone cord included with your Valentine 1™, by sensing when you turn your engine on and off without the need for tapping fuses, wires or using the lighter outlet. With its incredible efficiency and intelligence it's designed to be left plugged in to your car at all times. We have a solution for users that have something already plugged into the OBD-II port. There is an additional proprietary splitter that allows two devices to be plugged into the OBD-II port at the same time, which is available at the time of purchase. That way you can use both devices simultaneously.
Here are some of the exciting new features of the new Radar Projector™.
All information from your Valentine 1™ is transferred to the HUD or DIC
so you don't have to take your eyes off the road to have radar
situational awareness. There is simply nothing else like the
Radar Projector™ available!
Priced at $229.95 for the HUD only or DIC only models, and
$249.95 for the DIC and HUD version it is an amazing value!
For more information, installation instructions, or to order your Radar Projector™, visit

Units are in stock and ready to ship!
The DashTronix Radar Projector is 100% designed and built in the USA.

Here are some of the exciting new features of the new Radar Projector™.
- There are three RP™ versions to choose from to display your
Valentine 1™ radar detector- HUD only
- DIC only
- Both HUD and DIC
- There are up to four user-selectable operational modes (depending on
which of the three versions purchased):- Display on HUD
- Display on DIC
- Displays on HUD and DIC simultaneously
- Off and the V1™ display will be illuminated!
- There are two different radar signal strength display formats in both
the HUD and DIC. We have a new bar graph display too!- Format 1: Meters run right to left (HUD uses classic navigation
meter, DIC uses new bar graph) - Format 2: Meters run left to right (DIC and HUD use new bar graph)
- Format 1: Meters run right to left (HUD uses classic navigation
- The RP™ modes and display formats can be switched by the user while
driving.- Just press door lock button twice to switch output modes and display
formats on the RP™. - You can even press the button on your key fob to change modes
and display formats! - The RP™ remembers the mode that was selected when the car is off, so
everything is as you left it when you restart your car!
- Just press door lock button twice to switch output modes and display

Very cool unit! I wish I could stealth a V1 in my Z so that the entire setup would be invisible...then I'd buy one of these. RD's are illegal where I live.

Sweet, been waiting for the DIC option. Just ordered HUD/DIC version w/OBDII splitter and Remote Mute button.
Any plans to make a DIC version for a 2004 Hummer H2?

Got mine a couple of weeks ago. Works as advertized and I like it! Couple of issues though:
1. I have the Window Valet adapter and have the "Unlock Doors" when the e-brake is set feature enabled. When I pull the e-brake the Radar Projector switches display modes. Every time I shut down, I apply the e-brake, so the next time I start the RP starts up in a new display mode or off. (cuz it cycles from OFF to HUD to DIC to HUD and DIC to OFF)
2. Also bought the "Remote Mute" button. Well, I'll just say it needs some re-thinking (cuz I was expecting something a little more refined). But it works, I just will hace to invest some time and resources to figure out where to put it. As well as figure out a way to activate it (the button needs to be hidden and activated by something a little more "upscale").
Overall a great product, love the display on the HUD/DIC. Just needs a little more refining w/widow valet integration and the remote button needs upgrading.

Thanks for bringing to our attention that Window Valet optional features change the Radar Projector's modes.
We will address this quickly and provide a solution for customers who use the optional feature on their window valet.

I'm still waiting for the replacement remote switch that I paid for. As you may remember, I was sent a defective switch, promised a replacement, but have not yet recieved it after a long wait. I'm sorry to have to raise this issue here and will be glad to post if the switch arrived as promised.
Thanks

I recieved an immediate followup call from Dashtronix after my initial post today; they were very friendly, responsive, and professional. To their credit, they mailed a replacement when I initially contacted them, and for whatever reason, I never recieved it in the mail. I spent some time trying to repair the original switch, but was unsuccessful, and did not call them back to let them know that I never recieved the replacement. In any case, they are mailing another replacement switch and things should be good.
By the way, I will say, the main unit performs exactly as advertised and I find it to be a very useful accessory for my V1. No problems with the battery or anything else, overall, a great modification. I can't wait to get the switch so I won't have to reach in front of my passenger's face everytime I get an alarm.
Overall, Dashtronix gets a thumbs up from me.
