And are there weekly subscription payments for the rest of your .... life?

I purchased the 3 year option for $50.

Compare the $50 to the cost of one ticket and the raise in isurance rates!!!

Very clean and easy to reach the mute button.

In all my other cars I've hardwired by using the "add a fuse" adapter, but the fuse panel is in the trunk. So i was just lazy. Besides, I never use that accessory plug anyway.

the glove box accepts the telephone jack?

Assuming you are not being facetious, I'm using the 12v adapter supplied with the V1. It has a jack for the V1 unit and the remote displace right on the plug. The cord is a universal phone cord, cat 3 I believe. So I just took a black cord and plugged it into there. I also have the remote adapter, but I didn't want to clutter up my dash too much.

no im serious - i havent really had the chance to go and look at the aux input in the glove box, i assumed it was like the one in my land rover, same as headphone jack adaptors. I must hav gotten the aux jack confused with the accessory outlet youre speaking of. I was confused because u said telephone jack, which is the input on my escort 8500.

I have a Passport 9500ix and it saved me 3 times this weekend.
Twice going to the beach on Sat afternoon and once coming back from Summit Point raceway Sat afternoon.

Moved from New York City to Washington DC and bought a 2008 Honda SI coupe in Oct. 07 ( wanted to make sure I was going to stay before spending real money on a car) in Oct. 08 traded the SI (26,000 miles) for 09 C350 P1,P2, Pano, 18 AMG wheels and Multi in Palladium Silver. In Feb 13 traded my C350 (12,000 miles) for a Mars Red C63 (P1, P2, Multi, AMG Leather, Burlnut trim and tele aid.
Yes! I stayed in DC (got married) and looking to buy a GL550 or a ML63 for my wife.

Is anyone installed it?
Ya O.P.P uses Spectre 4's which detect V1's and escorts
I too was looking at the belltronics STi driver (the remote) is a bit much.

Not sure what the fine is or if it is criminal in Ontario.
