I remember there was a thread on here somewhere about replacing the socket with a deeper one.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have a 99 C2 and purchased a Valentine 1 for it about a year ago. Everything was just great until recently when I've noticed that the power cord keeps falling out of the cigarette lighter! Granted, I have M030 and Ohio has crapola roads, but it seems that it won't stay in anymore.
Has the sword outworn the sheath here? Just wondering if I need a new lighter receptacle or if there's an easier fix. Thanks!
Your V1 probably came with a ring adapter (forgot if mine did) to make it fit more snugly. Frankly, SPR hit it on the nose: hardwire the thing. You'll be happier in the long run.

ever notice your V1 laser go off when behind a late model GMC truck (Trailblazer, Envoy, etc) and they brake? happens to me all the time. The must have something in their brake lights that goes on a frequency similar to laser.
Scott,
I agree with everyone else, HARDWIRE IT! If you are moving it btwn 3 cars, hard wire of em, then just move the unit itself, not the wires. As far as the plug slipping out of the cig lighter, the light socket is VERY shallow. I remember there was a thread on here somewhere about replacing the socket with a deeper one. Not sure if it was porsche or local autopart store replacement part...

Buy the Porsche adapter, it costs about $12 and fits perfectly.
