I have a model that's around 5 years old. The adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter is too long so the detector isn't working right. Is there a smaller adapter that fits into the 996 cigarette lighter?
Thanks for your replies, I feel naked without my radar detector!

Yes, call V1 and they'll mail you one. It may cost a few dollars. My adaptor broke and I had it Fed Ex'd. They make at least two adaptors.

Also, you can trade up to the latest version of the V-1 with complete details on their website.

Though I use K40 system in my Porsche, my other vehicles have V-1 units, both of which are the latest versions.

Also, there are links posted somewhere that show how to hard wire the V1. Did it in mine and it works great

Eric,
How does the V1 compare to the K 40? I've been wanting a concealed detector for my 996, K40 seems to be the best choice. I currently use the Passport 8500 which I'm happy with, just tired of plugging it in all the time.

I use the K40 system (with lazer diffuser) in my '99 c4 coupe - I like it because its very discreet. However, I use the passport 8500 window mounted detector in my two other cars - it is a better detector and provides more advance warning with more info. I understand passport is now making an indash version of the 8500, coupled with their own lazer diffuser - If I were adding an in dash detector now, I'd give that serious consideration.
