    First day in almost a year

    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....

    Re: Mount Idea

    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,...

    Re: V1 Owned by Golden Eagle?

    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...
  5. Should I bother having a power switch when hardwiring?

    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,...

    Re: Might be in trouble - Windshield

    *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.

    Might be in trouble - Windshield

    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...

    Re: Worth going from 3.684 to 3.872?

    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...

    Re: Worth going from 3.684 to 3.872?

    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....

    Re: Worth going from 3.684 to 3.872?

    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...

    Worth going from 3.684 to 3.872?

    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,...

    Re: Help please w/ concealed display

    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.

    Upgrading to version 872

    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...

    Re: V1 Not Alerting to I/O Shots Or Lazy Staties?

    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.

    Re: Reviving a zombie!

    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.

    Re: concealed display q

    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.
