  1. Testing shows V1 Connection LE module draws about 3 milliamps

    Why is this important? Well, if you install an LE on your motorcycle (where it totally transforms the V1 experience when used with the v1Driver app), you need to know whether to connect it to the...

    Re: Canada advice, please

    Thank you again. Very useful info.

    I've ridden in Canada before, and had the V1 tucked away in my pannier, but at that time had not read the scary language about possession. Very good to know how...

    Re: Canada advice, please

    Thank you for the info. In your opinion, how likely is it that my luggage would be searched if I am not using the V1?

    Canada advice, please

    I will be traveling to Canada in September on my motorcycle. I understand that my V1 is illegal in most places (I'm seeing contradictory information on New Brunswick), but what concerns me are...

    Re: Looking for a radar detector for sport bike.

    [/QUOTE]

    If by comm you mean intercom, yes. I have my zumo 660 hardwired to the Sena SR-10 BT hub along with my V1, so both of those work together and I can still use intercom but get...

    Re: Looking for a radar detector for sport bike.

    I use a Valentine 1 with Remote Audio Adapter and a Sena Bluetooth hub which sends the alerts to my helmet speakers via Bluetooth.

    Not cheap for all that gear, but it has paid for itself several...

    Re: V1 electrical glitches on BMW

    My last experiment "proved" that the key is to get the RAA itself as far away from heat & electrical noise. I had it under the fairing in a baggie and it finally refused to come out of mute mode at...

    Re: Remote audio adapter-4 or 6 conductor cable?

    As Tiho said, if you brewed your own cables, be sure the RJ-11 connectors are "reversed" to maintain continuity. But if you bought pre-made 25-footers then the problem is either low voltage (loss due...

    Re: Mounting V-1 on a Ducati Monster ... where ??

    Center mount means maximum blockage from your body, so I'd vote for left or right bar mount. I chose left so that the mute button is an easy reach with my clutch hand, but either side would be good....

    Re: Mounting V-1 on a Ducati Monster ... where ??

    Very nice ride (my son has a 750ie Dark Monster).

    My opinion is that you are giving up too many of the V1's advantages in order to gain that somewhat vague "discrete" benefit. Put it up on the...

    Re: V1 Phone cord hard wiring

    I know that some phone cords carry only two connectors at each end and therefore won't work, but I've never heard of inability to carry enough voltage (I assume you actually mean current)? At 12v it...

    Re: V1 electrical glitches on BMW

    Found this on a BMW sport touring forum. Most interesting. I won't be moving my V1 or disabling laser as the problem is infrequent, but good to know what the cause is likely to be:

    Re: V1 electrical glitches on BMW

    Thank you very much for all the suggestions.

    I wear a Hi-Viz jacket which may be playing a role here, and the LCD screen of the zumo may be a contributor, but the really odd thing remains that...

    Re: V1 electrical glitches on BMW

    UPDATE: Took a long ride today to test and the V1 seems to be working properly on K, Ka and X (rare here), so I'm slowly beginning to trust it despite the weird finger-push laser false syndrome.

    Thanks for the reply. To answer your questions:

    Yes, there's an LCD screen fairly nearby -- a zumo 660 GPS. I'll try turning it off and test again, but with the V1 and zumo mounted in their old,...

    Re: Ouch....V1 fell twice today.

    The trick is to get a very thin layer of moisture on there as a seal, not to get them wet. I've had my V1 on my BMW motorcycle windshield for two seasons, riding over some very rough roads, and it...

    Re: No LASER aleart on startup

    Try this: turn the V1 off using its knob. Start the car. Turn on the V1. I'll bet it goes through the full startup every time, including laser.

    Now turn the car off, the V1 on, and turn the key to...
