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...
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?

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...

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...
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...
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...
Do you have any similar info for the Remote Audio Adapter?
Thanks,

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...
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....
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...
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...
Kudos to customer support. The engineer I was transferred to did not treat me like an idiot, did not read from a script, and came up with a final diagnostic trick which I have yet to try (I have...
The saga continues . . .
I've always thought the Remote Audio Adapter I bought new from Valentine two years ago was a little flaky. Specifically from day one its muting behavior has been...
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:
OK, So I got...
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...
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.

@Norm:
My old setup, using the OEM suction cup mount, had that potential for road acrobatics and was ruining my concentration as a result [g].
The new setup, using a RAM magnetic mounting...
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,...
My Valentine has been working perfectly both in my car and on my bike, except for one problem on the bike: lots of alternator & ignition noise in the earphones I have plugged into the Remote Audio...
I wouldn't want to ride my bike 500 feet without my V1.
I've been experimenting with various mounting setups, none perfect to say the least. It has gone the better part of 9700 miles using,...
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...
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...
It looked interesting, but I don't understand how it would help my setup. Right now I get all of the following through my Rockstar and Etymotics: incoming cell rings and voice, GPS directions, music,...
We're getting a little OT (should be in the motorcycle section), but there are various waterproof case solutions (http://legalspeeding.com/Radar_Cover.htm), but they are expensive and clunky. I just...
