5 Welcome to StealthOne Since you are the proud owner of a Valentine One radar locator you are already aware that the Valentine One is the most advanced radar locator available. Your BMW is also one of the most advanced automobiles available. StealthOne integrates the best of these two worlds. As good as the Valentine One is there are areas in which it can be improved. For example when there is an alert it can be difficult to quickly determine the radar direction, band, strength, and bogey count by just glancing at the Valentine One display because there is so much information displayed to such a small area. The Valentine One Concealed Display Kit helps to mitigate this problem by moving the display closer to the user s eyes, but it can be difficult to locate the display to achieve a clean integrated look without a lot of customization. StealthOne solves these deficiencies by providing the tightest integration possible with your BMW and the Valentine One, and by displaying the information from the Valentine One in a concise and easy to read format. Also, StealthOne enables you to control the muting and changing of the Valentine One modes without removing your hands from the steering wheel. You can currently use StealthOne with any of these BMW models: 7-Series (E38) 5-Series (E39) X5 (E53) 3-Series (E46) Z4 (E85) MINI IMPORTANT: Your BMW owner s manual specifically states that the installation of non-bmw approved accessories such as radios, radar detectors, telephones, etc. may cause damage to the vehicle, affect the vehicles safety, interfere with the electrical system of the vehicle or affect the validity of the BMW Limited Warranty. StealthOne is not an approved BMW accessory. StealthOne Owner s Manual 2

StealthOne Owner s Manual 3

7 Installing StealthOne The StealthOne product includes the following items: The StealthOne module A standard 2 Ft. RJ-11 modular Power Cable. This cable connects between the Valentine One accessory port and StealthOne. A second 2 Ft. RJ-11 modular Interface Cable with an additional black wire attached. The single wire connects to your automobile s I-BUS and the modular cable serves as the auxiliary programming port for future programming and/or accessories. Tie wraps Red 3M T-Tap connector The StealthOne module is small (approx. 2.5x3.5x1 inches, 62x84x28 mm). It is easy to install and should only take you about 1 hour depending on the location of your Valentine One and your BMW model. Just connect StealthOne and Valentine One together using the power cable, and attach the other cable to StealthOne letting one end of it hang free, as shown below. The single black wire is connected to your BMWs I-BUS in the 7-Series, 5- Series or X5, and to the K-BUS in the 3-Series, Z4, and MINI. What is an I-BUS or K-BUS? In the BMW 7-Series, 5-Series and X5 the BMW I- BUS (Instrumentation Bus) is a communication bus that connects many of the modules and systems together in your car, allowing various systems to communicate with each other. For example your car s radio can use the I-BUS to display messages on the navigation display or instrument cluster. The 3-Series, Z4 and MINI do not have the I-BUS, instead it uses the K-BUS (Body Bus) for this purpose. The StealthOne connects to your car s bus to communicate with the different displays in your BMW. StealthOne Owner s Manual 4

8 Basic StealthOne installation: To Install StealthOne: 1. Select an appropriate location to install your Valentine One using any of the methods described in the Valentine One owner s manual. We recommend that you use the direct wire power adapter provided with your Valentine One and tap into a switched 12v wire in the overhead console. This will allow you to place the Valentine One at the top of the front windshield, which will give it the best unobstructed front and rear view. Note: When mounted, Valentine One must have an unobstructed view. It cannot be mounted behind the windshield wipers. 2. Plug one end of the 2 Ft. RJ-11 modular Power Cable into the Valentine One Accessory (ACC) port using Valentine One s direct wire power adapter or the cigarette lighter adapter, and then plug the other end of the Power Cable into the StealthOne V1 ACC module port. 3. Plug the end of the RJ-11 modular Interface Cable that has the I-BUS wire attached to it into the StealthOne I-BUS/AUX module port. Do not connect the other modular plug to anything, but instead let the wire hang loose and locate it in a convenient location. This modular plug will be used for in car programming of the StealthOne with software updates and future options. StealthOne Owner s Manual 5

9 4. If you have a 7-Series, 5-Series or X5, locate an I-BUS wire in your automobile. If you have a 3-Series, Z4 or MINI, locate a K-BUS wire in your automobile. Position the red wiring-harness connector around the I-BUS or K- BUS wire and squeeze it gently with pliers until it snaps shut. Plug the black I- BUS wire from the StealthOne into the red 3M T-Tap wiring harness connector. 5. Now you are ready to move on to the next section on StealthOne Initial Startup. IMPORTANT: The installation procedure varies for each of the supported BMW models. Please refer to our website, for more detailed installation instructions for your BMW model. If you are unfamiliar with automotive electrical systems, see a mechanic or car-stereo installer. Some knowledge of automotive electrical systems and of interior-trim removal is necessary to do it yourself. StealthOne Owner s Manual 6

10 StealthOne Initial Startup After you have installed both the Valentine One and StealthOne, you must configure the StealthOne for your car model. When you first apply power to StealthOne it will enter setup mode and ask you to select your car model. Follow the directions below to activate your StealthOne. To activate your StealthOne: 1. Turn the ignition key until power is applied to the Valentine One and StealthOne. You will notice that the Valentine One display is now dark, indicating that it is in stealth mode. 2. Before you continue you must turn off the radio. The Forward and the Reverse buttons on the steering wheel are used to configure the StealthOne Settings, therefore leaving the radio on may interfere with the StealthOne setup. 3.

12 How does it work? StealthOne is an interface module that works in combination with the Valentine One radar locator to display radar information on a BMW Instrument Cluster LCD Display (IKE), Multi-Information Display (MID), radio display (RAD), or the Navigation Screen (NAV). How it works: The StealthOne uses the Valentine One Accessory Port to receive radar information, interprets this data, and then sends this information over the vehicle s I-BUS or K-BUS so that it can be displayed in an easy to understand format on your BMW s display. The following displays are supported by StealthOne. 7-Series (E38), 5-Series (E39) and X5 (E53) Instrument Cluster 7-Series (E38), 5-Series (E39) and X5 (E53) Multi-Information Display StealthOne Owner s Manual 9

14 Using StealthOne When there is no active alert StealthOne will not display any information on any of the BMW displays. When you receive an alert, StealthOne interprets this data and displays it on the BMW display you have selected. Once the alert has passed, StealthOne will briefly display the current Valentine One mode such as V1 Mode A and then clears the display after a few seconds. Your display selections and viewing options will vary depending on the BMW model you have. For example, some vehicles do not have the navigation screen, or the LCD display in the instrument cluster. Also, the number and type of characters allowed in each type of display will vary. See Chapter 3 Configuring StealthOne for a detailed description of the different display modes. Example: Before you installed StealthOne, when you would receive an alert on your Valentine One it would look something like this: Now that you have StealthOne installed the Valentine One does not light up when you receive an alert because it is in stealth mode, which is the same behavior as if you installed the Valentine One Concealed Display option. StealthOne will now show the radar information on your BMW s display similar to below: 3-Series or Z4 radio display StealthOne Owner s Manual 11

16 Using Wheel Buttons to control the Valentine One A feature of StealthOne is that you can use your BMW s steering wheel buttons to control the muting and to change modes of the Valentine One. This can be very convenient if your Valentine One is located in a hard to reach area. How do I mute the Valentine One? You can use buttons on the steering wheel to mute the Valentine One. By pressing the volume and then the volume buttons in quick succession, StealthOne will mute the Valentine One if there is currently an active audio alert. This has the same effect as if you quickly pressed the knob on the front of the Valentine One. If your BMW does not have the integrated BMW phone, Bluetooth phone module, or BMW Assist you can also press and release the phone button to mute the Valentine One when there is an active alert. How do I switch between the different Valentine One modes? If your BMW does not have the integrated BMW phone, Bluetooth phone module, or BMW Assist you can use the phone button to change the mode of the Valentine One. Press and hold the phone button until you see the mode change on your BMW display. The new mode will be displayed for a few seconds and then the display will be cleared.

38 Troubleshooting If you encounter any problems using StealthOne, refer to the information below. If the suggested solution does not work, or you are experiencing a problem other than those listed, contact Jaric Design Customer Service at service@stealth-one.com or refer to the StealthOne user forum at Problem StealthOne does not display anything on the IKE Display, MID, radio display, or the Navigation Screen. StealthOne displays V1 Mode A for no apparent reason. My Valentine One has poor reception in my car. StealthOne displays V1 no comm. Solution 1. Check all power-cord connections between StealthOne and the Valentine One and between the Valentine One and the power adapter. If needed, try another power cord. 2. Verify that the I-BUS wire from the StealthOne is correctly connected to an I-BUS wire in your car. Tip: You can use any telephone cable (the cable that runs from the wall jack to a telephone) as a power cord. Sometimes the Valentine One will give a very brief alert that is very short in duration. StealthOne actually displayed the alert and then immediately displayed V1 Mode A when the alert was over. You may not hear the Valentine One beep because the duration of the alert is so short. Tip: You can reduce the sensitivity of StealthOne to these mini-alerts by entering the Advanced Setup Menu and setting the Alerts: value to 1 or greater. If your vehicle has the BMW comfort glass option you may have reception problems with your Valentine One because the metallic film will block radar and laser light from passing through the glass. Make sure the Valentine One is located behind one of the rectangular cutouts in the metallic film. StealthOne is not receiving any communication from the Valentine One. Make sure that the Valentine One is turned on. Also check the cable between the StealthOne and Valentine One. StealthOne Owner s Manual 35
