The dealer has actually been awesome, they have replaced pretty much everything they can think of including giving me two new batteries at their expense. Since they have done so many different things and it still doesn't work I think that's why they started blaming the radar detector. Which I doubt is the problem, and seeing as no one else has this issue with their detector. Guess we'll keep searching.
I'm using the Savey adapter plugged into the OBD port. No issues yet except for the health report not working properly. I've had the truck for 3 months. Service always seems to try and blame problems on something that they don't understand. If I had a nickle everytime Iv've heard: "never heard of that happening before"....

VALENTINE 1. The only detector that ANYONE should buy. The passport 9500 with GPS is so horrible... My parents have one in each of their AMG's and they are switching back to a Valentine. Front and rear facing detection. Used invisicord off ebay to tap into powered mirror. 12.95 delivered.

There is the right way, and then there is the way that works, but not as well... your call.

To the OP, if it's plugged into a cigarette lighter port, those always have power to them, so it could be draining your battery. I charge my phone sometimes when not in the truck.

Valentine is so outdated it's ridiculous... Escort wins in nearly every aspect. Not to mention, the V1's have TONS of false alerts.

LOL the V1 arguments are funny. I have been running Beltronics RX65 for over 8 years with 0 problems. I also use a keyed sources and have never experienced battery drain problems. Has saved my butt many a time and only tickets I ever got with it I had the volume and brightness turned way down so I couldn't see it/hear it (and usually stereo cranked and windows down.......just a lot of bad choices

It's incredibly outdated. No GPS? Like really? It's 2013, it's time for a hardware update. The useless arrows aren't selling it for everyone anymore. I'll take my 9500ix any day of the week. Just look up some of the false alert tests...
