Suggestion · Original poster
Do you just plug into OBD and run the phone wire up the A pillar and mount in near the rearview mirror?

Plugs into OBD2 port and lets you set the speed level to automatically mute it.
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'm working on hardwiring in a V1 to my 996 cab. All my searching led me to go the route of the phone connector in the center stack, but I can't find it. A few pics are below. Thoughts on where this thing might be hiding?
I think mine was tucked down hear the carpet.
I found the other connector end with bare wire on eBay.
It powers my USB outlets and my GoPro & XGPS.
My V1 radar detector is powered by my OBDII so I have speed enabled warning mute.
I'm doing the same thing, it works so much better when you don't have to listen to it at lower speeds. Using a product from Valentine called the Savvy. Plugs into OBD2 port and lets you set the speed level to automatically mute it.
Cheers

Here are a couple of pictures of the connector (and the other end that I bought off eBay from Becker Auto Sound) from the driver side.

The plug comes from back under the dash.
I hope the pics help.
Definitely!
When I was daily driving, I hated constantly muting my V1 while sitting in stop and go traffic.
But if I turned down my volume, or turned it off, I would forget to set it back to loud (or on) when I got to open freeway.
I now have it set to auto-mute at below 65mph.
If I'm going slower than that I rarely need warnings.
Plus you do get a full volume blip before it mutes, so you're not completely unprotected.
I have a second SAVVY that I plan to put in my minivan for vacations(along with my second V1)...if/when we get to take a vacation again.
Got it, thank you. I need to poke around and see where mine is hiding. It looks like it's most likely on the driver's side and either behind the carpet or tucked back towards the firewall.
Yes.
My V1 is mounted via a Blend Mount.
I also have the remote display which also plugs into the SAVVY.
My remote display is just below my tachometer.
Actually it is visible when driving, but just barely in this picture.
Problem solved! Thanks for all the help!
For whatever reason, my phone connector was jammed down the passenger side carpet below where the triangular trim piece pulls away. I had to do some manipulating to get it out, but once it came out I was able to run everything without issue.
I�m going to see if the V1 Gen 2 is better with the false warnings and then think about SAVVY if it gets annoying like V1 Gen1 could be.
Thanks again for the help.

So there are still states using radar?? My state its all Lidar all the time.. and you cant change speed quick enough to avoid that..
The photo speed cams do use radar so I guess there is that...
Since my earlier post I upgraded to the new V1 gen2, and running it with bluetooth to the V1Driver (3rd party) companion app is SOOOO much better. It uses speed based muting like the savvy, but also incorporates learning with GPS to automatically filter out falses. My V1 rarely makes a noise now, and if it does - it tends to be a cop.
Yes, at least here in Cincinnati they do. Many drive with the radar on (in fact that has been how I've gotten most of my tickets). Having a radar detector gives you an early warning with plenty of time to slow down.
Interesting, Yea Oregon got rid of them because they lost a huge lawsuit where officers got cancer related to the radar guns ,
turns out leaving the radar gun in your lap turned on is a bad idea... Who'd have thunk it..
