Actually I've sold my old v1 on ebay and bought a brand new one from valentine. After finished installing the hardwire kit, I cannot get the unit to power up. At first I thought I didnt install the hardwire kit correctly, but after playing with my multimeter I am sure that it is installed correctly. I cant even get the unit to power up using the 12v dc plug adaptor, and using about 5 different phone wires. I am sure that I got a defective unit, as my old unit lasted 3yrs of abuse. Does anyone knows if Valentine will do an advance replacement ? (charge my card for another new unit, and refund it after they got their defective unit back) I am going to drive cross country from Oregon to Charleston Sc, and I want to have the latest and greatest radar

Thx
