    Default V1 power connector

    As I am replacing my Escort 8500 with the V1 and I already have a hidden power wire going up to the rear view mirror area will this connector fit the V1 and will the polarity be the same? The 8500 uses the telephone type connector.

    Yup same, will work fine! Do you have the escort hardwire kit with remote display or are you just using a basic hardwire kit?

    The hardwire will work with the V1, but you can NOT mute the volume and you can NOT change the modes on the V1. Currently i have my V1 on my X50 H-wire and i have the volume just turned down a lil bit

    Do I understand that the hard wired rather than the supplied cigarette lighter power does not have the ability to mute nor change modes, why is that? Can it ever be hooked up to work because I do not want the coil wire going up across my windshield?

    I have just the basic hardwire from my escort. What about the supplied hardwire from the V1, will mute and modes work with it?
