hey guys,

I've had my V1 for more then 2 maybe even 3 years now. anyway, it sits on top of the rear-view mirror (in my '04 C32) and is hardwired (where to im not sure)

anyway recently when i turn the device on (or the car for that matter) it reads "E" and under that it has a few led lights that stay on (ill try to post a pic soon)... somedays more other days less... any ideas?

i went to v1.com and they said something about a fuse. but its not soft-wired so how can that be?

ANY KNOWLEDGE WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED, THANKS

Note on fuse: There should still be a fuse mounted in-line even if it is hard wired. If the fuse was blown, the detector would do nothing (no power). You may want to check to make sure a fuse was installed - it is a pretty expensive piece of equipment to not have protected by a 25 cent fuse

E on display

When the V1 is turned on it goes through a self-test / tuning mode. Anytime the V1's self-calibration routine is unhappy with how it tuned itself, it displays an "E" on the display

It could be a sign of drifting/component failure, but the 3.851's had some bugs with the E feature that caused it to be thrown erroneously.
