radar detector

[fab]

i'm lookling at the V1. For those that own a V1 I can just plug it in my cigarette light and I'm good to go or do I have do something with the direct wire power adapter?
Who has direct wired into their car's electrical system? Was there any problems?

Alright, back to my third point!

I run a business renting radar detectors (as was stated previously), called Radars for Rent. We have five different models available that range anywhere between $40.00 and $50.00 for a 7-day rental (including all tax and shipping costs).

This is a great way to try out a detector or two without making an outright commitment by purchasing one.

Yes, you can just plug into the cig lighter, I wired mine right into the fuse box, no issues.

I direct wired my V1 based on a walkthrough I found online with no problems. I also did it so that it turns off when I turn the car off, that way I don't have to do it manually everytime.

V1 All the way! Those arrows are really helpful to know where its coming from. I've had a mess of them and will upgrade my V1 before I buy another.

That's one more reason to buy a V1... it's upgradeable and unless the company goes out of business (doubtful) it may well be the last radar detector you buy for a long, long time.
