Trouble plugging a V1 into a F430

1. Try a two plug adapter like they sell at Wal-Mart. If it works you will have and estra plug in. Also, you can modify the cheap Wal-Mart adapter and not worry about totally ruining your V1 plug.

2.WD-40 helps improve connections...use just a little, you don't want to short out your system and fry your fuse. Have a spare fuse HANDY.

3. Have your V1 hard wired.

 

try popping one of the springs out on the adaptor and bending it outwards.

 

Fold up a little piece of paper and wedge it on the side of the plug.

 

There is a different adapter available from Valentine if the problem is that your power adapter won't stay plugged in tight enough to the cig outlet in the car.

I had my V1 wired to the dome light. It's much cleaner this way.

 

that would be a fire hazard...

 

I also had mine hard wired to dome light. (Don't know if you can do this in a spider).

I had this same problem. Called Valentine and told them about it. They sent me another plug. It looked identical. However, it solved the problem
