Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a passport 8500 and i remember that it said something about the suction cups harming the windshields in some cars (i believe it mentioned porsche specifically) in the users manual. It had something to do with a film on the glass. Does anyone know anything about this, since i just received a V1 for a brand new C4S. it doesn't say anything in it's users manual, but i don't want to do any damage to the glass.

POST 2Original post

I asked the same question last year. I believe this was on the older Porsches, circa 993 or older. These reportedly had permanent anti-fog film on the inside that would get permanently marked by the suction cups. Not on the 996's. I've had mine on for over a year, stuck right on the middle, jsut to the right of the windshield antenna wire. No marks or blemishes of any kind. I love the 8500. Ample early warning on all radar bands, has saved my butt numerous times. Even picked up laser directed at another car. That laser warning is LOUD!!! Minimal false alarms too.

POST 3Original post

The suction cups on my V1 won't hold anymore. It's only about a year old. Has anyone else had this problem? A solution?

POST 4Original post

Two options on the V-1....take them off and soak them in warm soapy water. Air dry. Clean windshield and let dry. Try again. Or...contact V-1 and order replacements. If I remember correctly, mine came with two sets in the past also.

POST 5Original post

Hey thanks Eric - I'll give it a whirl. (put the girl back on the hood )
