StealthOne Owner’s Manual 1

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.

Requirements:
- BMW 7-Series (E38), 5-Series (E39), X5 (E53), 3-Series (E46), Z4 (E85),

or MINI.
- For the E38, E39 or E53 you must have one or more of the following:
Instrument cluster (IKE) with the 20 character LCD display, Multi-
Information Display (MID), or Navigation (NAV).
- For the E46 or E85 you must have either the BMW Business radio (RAD)
or Navigation (NAV). StealthOne data can not be displayed on the
Instrument Cluster for these models.
- For the MINI you must have the Navigation (NAV) option.
- Steering wheel buttons to control StealthOne operation and setup.
- Valentine One® radar locator.

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.

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.

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, www.stealth-one.com, 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 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. After approximately 10 seconds after power is turned on, StealthOne will enter
setup mode:
Followed by:
4. Using the steering wheel press the Forward button to select your BMW
model: E46 - 3 Series, E85 - Z4, E38 - 7 Series, E39 - 5 Series, E53 - X5, or
MINI.
Tip: Forward button is used to change the value of a setup option. The
Reverse button is used to move to the next option.
5. Once you have selected the correct BMW model, press the Reverse once so
that “Exit >>>” is displayed:
6. Press the Forward button to exit setup mode.

7. The StealthOne is now configured for your car.

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

3-Series (E46) Business Radio Display
Z4 (E85) Business Radio Display
7-Series (E38), 5-Series (E39), X5 (E53), 3-Series (E46), and MINI Navigation Display

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

5-Series or X5 instrument cluster display

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.

Tip: Some NAV displays will switch back and forth between large and
small fonts when using NAV Format 1 depending on what is being
displayed. This can cause the display to jump around when there
are multiple radar contacts. Using display format “2” will reduce
the chance of this happening since it will be displayed by the NAV
Screen only using large fonts.
Example: (NAV in split screen mode)
To configure the NAV display format:

2. If desired, press the Forward button to change the NAV display format.


Configuring Mute and Mode Wheel Buttons
The steering wheel can be used to control the muting and to change the mode of
the Valentine One®. Follow the directions below to enable or disable using the
wheel buttons.
To enable the -/+ volume wheel buttons to mute the Valentine One®:
following is displayed:
2. Use the Forward button to select between “ON” and “OFF”.
To enable the phone wheel button to mute and change modes of the
Valentine One®:
If your car does not have the BMW integrated phone, Bluetooth phone module, or
BMW assist you can use the phone button to mute and change modes of the
Valentine One®.
NOTE: If “N/A” is displayed then StealthOne has detected that you have one
of the BMW phone options installed in your car. You will not be able to
use the phone button to control the Valentine One®.

Optimize Display Mode
Instead of flashing the strongest radar signal the "Optimize Display" mode uses
upper case letters to indicate the strongest signal and lower case for the weaker
ones. This option is intended for people who prefer non-flashing direction and radar
bands.
For example if you have Optimized Display on and you get an alert where the front
has the strongest radar contact and “Ka” is the strongest band, StealthOne will
display:
Note: Since there are no upper and lower case arrow characters, if you are using
arrows to display radar direction you will not know which direction is
strongest if you turn on "Optimize Display".
To enable the Optimize Display Mode:

Navigation Auto Accept Feature
One of the annoying “features” of the BMW Navigation Display is having to press the
“Accept” button every time you start your car. Your StealthOne can be configured
to automatically press the “Accept” button when it appears on your Navigation
Display.
IMPORTANT: By enabling this feature you are automatically agreeing to and

accepting the BMW legal text that is displayed on the Accept screen
every time the button is automatically pressed.
To enable the Auto Accept Feature:
To adjust the Auto Accept delay:
You may need to adjust the Auto Accept timeout value for your car if the accept
button is not automatically pressed upon startup. To adjust the timeout value
following the steps below:
2. Use the Forward button to increase the delay value. When it reaches the
maximum value of 30 seconds it will role over back to 0.

Auto-Mute Based on Speed
The Auto-Mute feature will automatically mute the V1 alert if the vehicle speed falls
below a user selectable speed limit. StealthOne receives information about your
vehicle speed from your BMW approximately every second. If the vehicle’s speed
is below the speed limit set by the user and there is a V1 alert, it will automatically
press the mute button. The V1 will beep once before it is muted.
To enable the Auto-Mute Feature:
2. Use the Forward Button to select between “ON” and “OFF”.
3. To Exit from the StealthOne Setup scroll down using the Reverse button
until you see the “Exit >>>” and then press the Forward button.
To adjust the Auto-Mute Speed:
You may want to adjust the Auto-Mute speed limit to fine tune it for the particular
area you are driving in. The speed limit can be adjusted in two MPH increments. To
adjust the speed limit follow the steps below:
2. Use the Forward button to increase the speed limit value. When it
reaches the maximum value of 98 MPH it will roll over back to 0.
3. To exit from the StealthOne Setup scroll down using the Reverse button
