Default I have had both the passport and the V1

Not much difference honestly, but I do love the arrows on the V1 and that alone makes it a winner over the passport.

My V1 falses all the time on the auto distance controllers found mostly on Infinitis -- makes the laser go off. Also tail lights on Chevy trailblazers can make the laser go off on the V1 -- drives me nuts! I have no idea if the Passport would fault that as well as that feature came out after I made the switch to the V1.

Default That sounds familiar...

I hardwired my V1 but haven't had time to wire up the remote display yet.

Where did you hook up the ground? I ended up finding a nut that fit on a protruding bolt above and behind the fuse box and I tightened it over the bared ground wire. Works great!

Also, what did you use to secure the remote display?

Default Re:im using the same ground I think...

the display is held on using a plastic velcro-like material that came with the display. the cable running to the display comes out from next to the mmi screen that is a slight eye sore. it fits well in that extra space to the left of the mmi screen. Good luck with yours.

My Passport gives false lasers on those as well. The new Passports can be set to ignore that frequency to stop false alarms in some cases.
