I saw one review talking about getting the right size to fit into the fuse box for your car. Aren't all fuses in cars a standard size?

I didn't install the remote display although IIRC, some folks have used the ashtray.

Yes, there are two types of fuses: ATO and mini (ATO is larger). The fuses in the fuse block on the left-hand side of the dash are ATO so this one should work:

Good luck!

It hasn't been an issue for you that the V1 interferes with your visor?

Nope - I can bring the visor down to nearly 90 degrees from the angle of the windshield which has been more than enough so far.

I just got both the car and radar so I guess I have to return for repair to the V1 guys. Any thoughts.
sounds like you damaged v1. ouch...
