Any recommendations? Any advice on placement of the unit (I know the film on some windows cause interference)?

I had the new Passport 9500ix installed hardwired into the car so went on and off with the car starting mounted on top of windshield, left of the rear view mirror no issues (and already saved my bacon a few times)!

Does anyone know if the Panny's adaptive cruise control, LCA, etc interfere with radar/laser detection?

on either side of mirror. film is only on thermal windows and there is a cut out there (I have it on mine)

also had passport 9500 hard wired with display in mirror and controls put in ashtry

tkerrmd

no it doesnt

if it did you would have to turn off rear K band as that is what lane change uses, I had to do that with my cayenne, not on my PTTS

rbrenn

Thanks Tom. What model years are your cayenne and PTTS? And did you have LCA on your PTTS?

Hey Tom, aren't you supposed to be fixing people's veins and stuff? You sure have time in your life to be helping people out, nice.

I have the insulated thermal glass on my car too, and I have the Valentine One hardwired BUT the freaking thing does not pickup anything at the distance, it beeps when the cops already clocked me.

Where in the hell are those cutouts? I have tried looking everywhere and I cant find them (maybe the light angle), do you think that a radar detector should clear that space?

Did the radar work for you?

Let me know.

ACC won't interfere at all. I have mine mounted right beside them and no false alarm so far. I turned K band off since it's useless in CA and LCA is running on K band.

Look at the attached PDF. The top part of the windshield has a small cut out. It's very obvious on mine. That's the only location where you can place the V1.

I'm curious what you guys are paying for the 9500ix installed. I had one in my M5 but lately I've just been driving like an old man in a Buick and haven't had a need to put one in the Panamera. I personally have always preferred the Escort brand to the Valentine, but they both perform about the same. The warnings are a bit different and it's kind of what you get used to. The Escort products are a lot smaller than the V1, which seems to be stuck back in the 70's, size-wise.

These days I travel unprotected, with just my meager wits to keep me out of harm's way. And also I try to not speed any faster than the rest of the bozos around me. Although driving a big blue Porsche makes it difficult to blend in with the crowd...

cut out on each side of rear view mirror,obvious on my car
I think the thermal windows will block most of rear V-1 detection would recommend hard wired

Have alot of "free time" between surgery cases cause hospital staff slow.....

cost me $800 at dealer to have detector hard wired. best money I ever spent

cant beat the detection of these things!
