    Gently move the chord near where it connects to the X50. Maybe the connector is becoming loose.

    Also try doing it with the coiled cord connected. If it doesn't do it, then it might be a problem with the hardwire.

    There was a thread similar to this recently. Lemme dig it up.

    Most likely your connection. Check your wiring.

    x2, and an unstable connection (which it most certainly is) must be playing havoc on your poor x50.



    Also to make 100% sure its your connection... get out your smartcord that plugs into the cig. outlet, and try hitting bumps like that.

    Yeah, unstable connection. Check your connections in your fuse box and make sure the bumps your hitting isn't knocking your connection lose.
    I had this problem when I 1st hardwired my detector and that was the issue.

    Did you use the smartcord from your cig outlet yet too, and it still turns on and off?
