Over the weekend while detailing my car, I finally reinstalled my V1 after pulling it out for service last summer. I bought some 3M Dual Lock since my suction cups were not doing their job at all....
A notorious Missouri speed trap town was busted Wednesday by the state auditor for violating the law. Randolph, Missouri has a population of just 47 people, but the police department last year...
Yeah, so you're fine until you get in the 130 degree car, and turn on the RD. Now it's powered on and the internal temp is still higher than the operating temp. After less than one summer in Arizona,...
Is "QT" the same as POP, that is to say not admissible? It's still not so good to see (and makes me glad I can turn off X Band in AZ), but I'm trying to understand since the radar went right back to...
I'm finally going to hardwire my V1 and placement of a power switch is a bit of an issue. The fuse I plan on tapping is only active with power (accessory or ignition), so in a potential traffic stop,...
*PHEW!* That makes me feel better, thanks!
On an aside note, I'm seeing more motorcycle cops out in AZ now that the speed cameras were pulled off the highways, I may need to buy an LI.
Here's what I found on the BMW website:
BMW Technology Guide : Green stripe climate comfort windscreen
The climate comfort windscreen uses a layer of special reflective material to reflect...
So, I had a new windshield installed on my BMW 3-series, after a baseball sized rock cracked the heck out of it.
My old one was a regular windshield, but the repair shows a "green" windscreen. Did...
I have my V1 back, and wanted to hard wire it but this weekend may be busy with overtime, despite the holiday.
But I'm reporting back that it does of course power back on, and while they do not...
I thought I'd post an update... Valentine Research called and told me that an upgrade was $135+s&h, or $150. So, that means that the difference between them is not just firmware, but some hardware....
Since I'm already paying $45 for a repair and they'll have it open, I feel like another $40 is about all I'd be willing to pay if it's a software flash only. If it's more than that, I would expect...
My V1 needs to go in for service since it fell and isn't currently working. That's a straightforward and reasonable $45 service fee (unless it's really bad).
However, while it's in for service,...
And good riddance.
I have an E90, so this may not be helpful. But in my ashtray is an ambient light, and that may be the wires you tapped into. That would explain why they are going on/off with the headlight switch.
In addition to the other markets response, it's companies taking advantage of US buyers who don't know better. If you go to Amazon.com or Ebay you aren't buying from Valentine Research. The people...
So,
I read that 872 has updated temperature compensation, which implies to me it isn't software only. Does that mean I couldn't get my V1 upgraded to it? Living in Phoenix, I did notice a difference...
Haha arrest? What state are you from? [/quote]
Arizona, for one, if you are 20+ PSL, the officer can charge you with "Criminal Speeding" and can arrest you.
Thanks MetalFlame. He said that for $279 plus his old one, Valentine will send a brand new unit with 1 year warranty, because his is too old to upgrade. I think that's what he will do.
We have a new guy at work, and I'm his "formal mentor" so I told him we should go out for lunch. He gets in my car, and says "Oh you have a V1 too?!?" So we get to talking, he bought his back in the...
Welcome! Now you'll have to sign up with a new username :p
If you're thinking about it, then go for it! And don't think that "tiptronic" is just as good, because it isn't... And I don't mean performance, I mean in terms of involvement.
I know that some...
I wonder; if you put a jack splitter in, and ran two CDs would it work? Then you could have one near the camera, and one in your regular location.
I just saw this in Arizona. There's at least one DPS officer who figured it out. CRAP! :(
I found this on one of my car forums:
Watch out for rental cars in Goodyear! - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - E90Post.com
Oh man, you gotta hook us up with those tones! I want "J-Out" to be my new e-mail alert on my blackberry!
