Cigerette lighter power port use the power wire from it.Im a V1 person since 1998. Now I dont know what to do b/c i cant figure out where to connect this radar detector to. I hope somebody comes up with an answer soon. I dont want to get the battery operated passport
Nice! Good looking out! Have you tried it out?V1 also has a cool new OBD power adaptor. It's handy if you move it between cars or trade often. It also has a cool feature where you can set the speed for an automatic mute. So you can set it for auto mute anything below 25 mph

I am obviously missing something here. Why would you opt for an OBD power adaptor rather than simply plug into a cigarette power outlet?V1 also has a cool new OBD power adaptor.

To get the added MPH sensitive mute feature. Great idea to mute the damn thing in parking lots and stop and go traffic.I am obviously missing something here. Why would you opt for an OBD power adaptor rather than simply plug into a cigarette power outlet?
I understand you can't move any hardwired car to car, but when you use this OBD power adapter don't still have a power cord from it to your V1?Because you can hide the wiring as if it were a hardwire kit, the power always turns off and on with the ignition and it has the mph auto mute. Oh and you can easily move it to another car where you can't with a hardwire and you don't have the coiled cord dangling.
Thanks for clarifying.Yes, but it's the straight and flat phone cord which you can install behind the A-piller and dash and leave there. That way you don't see any cords and you can just move the OBD plug and V1 from car to car.
I'm a V1 gal myself. Always had it hardwired to my other cars, but am not seeing how to do it in my C7. I guess I'll go ahead and order it, but how do you see out of the front windshield... won't it block the view? I'm so confused! I prefer having it hard wired... don't like the suction cups!Thanks for clarifying.![]()
In the interim where are mounting your unit?Im not giving up hope. I really want to hardwire my unit but it seems nobody has figured it out yet. Im sure once its done properly we are all gonna scratch our heads!!!
