I wish i had seen this thread before i hardwired mine in. I have it in the same place that you had your V1.
No issues. I bought and have installed the mute button that Escort sells directly and it works well.. I have it(The mute button box) Velcro to the side of my 4-pack gauges facing upward so that the alert light reflects off the bottom of the head unit and is not distracting while driving.

let me know if you want pics. Enjoy the 9500!
