    Default Just purchased!

    I just ordered my V1. I'll be hardwiring it into my Acura CL. Anything a newbie should know? I've been browsing the boards quite a bit over the last few months and you guys have opened my eyes quite a bit of radar detection!

    Thanks in advance.

    Congrats! Only suggestion I have is with instant-on so common these days always use a rabbit.

    First thing to know it's how to hwardwire your V1. Also, note that the V1 may not save you from laser.

    I'm aware about the laser. I'll probably wait till I get a new car before I buy the Blinder Jammer system. Is there anything in particular I should now about hardwiring it. Like I said I've read a lot on these forums and somewhat knowledgeable about cars. I know how to do car audio installs such as subwoofers. Will that experience help me out?

    Thanks.

    If you can do car audio, you can do this. The only "problem" I remember was wishing the straight cord that came with it was longer.

    Glad to hear that. From what Ive read is that its a phone cord (RJ11?) I can't just go out and buy a normal phone cord, it has to have more than the 2 wires in the cord itself. Am I just making that up?

    It comes with a cord. If you want a longer one, you can get one at radio shack, and the manual explains what type to get.

    it looks like you live in Florida so you can turn off x-band because it is not used here, look in the V1 site for a walk through on how to do it

    Do a search here. There are some nice pics of detectors that have been hardwired and mounted. I think there is also a "how to" on Youtube.
