    Default Using different plug!

    Today, I temporarilly used my BelEscort plug on my V1 until I got home. It worked except for trying to change modes. I called VR to tell them about my lighter plug, and the lady from VR told me a plug from BelEscort will ruin the V1. I didn't think is was that bad for the V1 to use a BelEscort cord?

    I think they say that because not all the of Belscort plugs/wires are fused like the V1's... so if they know you are using a Belscort product (and not their own), they will say something along the lines of what they told you:

    The benefit is 2 fold for them:

    1)It will get you to want to buy their product (if you really think it would ruin the V1).

    2)Should anything happen to your V1... well its obviously caused by the use of the Belscort plug they can say.

    Yeah dont worry about it...

    Many users on here have used Belscort cord with their V1's, and many V1 cords with their Belscorts.
