Yes. That's the plug I use for my V1. It's the most convenient as it keeps the cord from having to stretch acoss the passenger compartment to the plug located in the center console. I keep it plugged in and just put the unit on the floor when I'm parked.

I am still using the lighter socket under the passenger seat because I have been too lazy to hardwire it, but I'm going to hardwire the V1 into the overhead light.

MY V1 is in the center, above the dashboard. It is easy to reach the mute button. We have too many of those PIA radar guided speed signs around here.
Following the directions on this site, I hardwired it using a piggyback fuse from AutoZone. It took maybe 10 minutes, including hiding the wire. 2-wire phone cable works perfectly.

This is great. I move my 8500 from car to car, so don't hardwire it. I completely forgot about the outlet on the passenger side (I know, ). This works so much nicer than stretching the cord to the lighter in the center console!
