Corvette C6 V1 Dashtronix Projector

Valentine 1 Radar Detector Heads-Up Dashtronix Display Projector for the 2005 and newer C6 Corvette

If you want full visual display of your radar detector projected on your front windshield, the Dashtronix radar detector HUD/DIC projector is ideal for your C6 Corvette. The Dashtronix projector provides a heads-up display of all pertinent detector information--a complete replication of the V1 display, in fact right in front of your driver dash that's easy to read and incredibly convenient. This also allows for an invisible installation of your radar detector without losing functionality in your Corvette.   

The new Auto Mute feature keeps your Valentine 1 muted when you are below a speed of your choice.  The signal status updates are still delivered to your DIC and/or HUD. If your detector receives a signal and you're driving faster than your selected speed, the V1's audio output is normal.  When your speed slows to below your selected speed, the Dashtronix Radar Projector keeps your V1 muted!  The Radar Projector indicates muting status in the DIC and/or HUD, whichever output(s) is currently active. The mute threshold is set with a simple DIC-based menu system when your car is in Accessory mode. What this means is that there's no more squawk box when you're driving around in shopping malls or at the grocery store.  Listen instead to the growl of your Corvette when radar isn't a threat!

*The V1 does not mute new bogie alerts.  Unmuting occurs only after a short period following when all signals clear.  The V1's muting volume can be independently controlled.

Here are some of the exciting new features of the DashTronix Radar Projector:

• There are three RP versions to choose from to display your
  Valentine 1 radar detectorHUD only
  1. DIC only
  2. Both HUD and DIC
• There are up to four user-selectable operational modes (depending on
  which of the three versions purchased):
  1. Display on HUD
  2. Display on DIC
  3. Displays on HUD and DIC simultaneously
  4. 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!
  1. Format 1: Meters run right to left (HUD uses classic navigation
     meter, DIC uses new bar graph)
  2. Format 2: Meters run left to right (DIC and HUD use new bar graph)
• The RP modes and display formats can be switched by the user while
  driving.
  1. Just press door lock button twice to switch output modes and display formats on the RP.
  2. You can even press the button on your key fob to change modes and display formats!
  3. 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!

• The Radar Projector (RP) uses the DIC and HUD's navigation functionality to project the Valentine 1 display. The navigation direction symbol is used to indicate only the strongest signal. The characters "FSR" are used to indicate the directions of all signals your Valentine 1 is currently receiving. Unlike the arrows on your Valentine 1, the "FSR" characters will not flash since the navigation symbol will indicate that flashing arrow.

• If the strongest signal is coming from the side, you will see the side arrow swap directions approximately once per second. Though radar coming from the side is never an immediate threat, the swapping directions of the side arrow are to remind you that the signal is coming from either direction.

• The distance indicator of the HUD navigation display is used to indicate the number of bogeys your Valentine 1 is receiving. You will always see this number with a zero following the decimal, e.g., 3.0 for three bogeys. The number displayed in the DIC is the bogey counter.
  

• The meter indicator of the HUD navigation display is used to indicate the strength of the strongest signal the Valentine 1 is receiving. 

• When more than one band is active, the RP will place [square brackets] around the band with the strongest signal. Unlike the Valentine 1 band indicators, the RP bands will not flash.

• When you change the mode of your Valentine 1, the RP will beep and indicate this to you in the HUD and DIC for approximately 2.5 seconds before returning to normal functionality.

• For those models of Valentine 1 that indicate a "junk signal" by displaying a flashing "J", the RP will indicate "No Threat" on the HUD when this condition occurs.

• Like the navigation system, the RP only displays information when the HUD is in "Street Mode". The RP can display on the DIC at anytime, no special mode needs to be selected.
  

• Information from the RP will always override information from your audio system.

• If you manually shut off your Valentine 1 when the car is still running, or turn on your car with the Valentine 1 manually shut off, the RP will indicate this condition on the HUD or DIC. When the Valentine 1 is manually turned back on, the RP will indicate the Valentine 1 power is restored then return to normal functionality.

• When you are running your factory navigation unit simultaneously with the RP, the unit is also updating the HUD with its own information. The navigation unit will briefly override information from the RP, until the RP next updates or refreshes the HUD. This time period can be as short as 400 milliseconds to as long as 1.5 seconds, depending on the state of the Valentine 1. You should expect to see the HUD swap its display between the navigation unit and the RP when the Valentine 1 sees a signal and you are using your navigation unit.

• You might notice a short delay (usually much less than one second) between what you hear from the Valentine 1 and what you see on the HUD. This is normal and is caused by a few expected sources of delays. One source of delay is the HUD, which typically takes 400 ms to receive information and draw it on the screen. Another source of delay is the serial bus used to interface to the HUD. This bandwidth limited bus contains traffic from other modules in the car. Only one module can transmit at a time and some have a higher priority than others. The RP uses the same priority as the navigation data. If the RP attempts to transmit when another module with higher priority wants to transmit, the RP will yield to the higher priority module.

• Great consideration was taken to minimize the power requirements of your RP. It has truly remarkable efficiency during operation and in standby. The RP is specifically designed to be left plugged in to the car at all times.
