v1 help! PIX INCLUDED!
 

So yeah, yesterday after spending 4hours while my back was breaking into millions of pieces I was finally able to finalize my v1 mount. But little problems. My add-a-line kit sticks out in the fuse box so I can't close the lid on the fuse box. Any suggestion or help?

Thanks guys! if it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have been able to done it!

thats weird..i got one of those add-a-circuit and mine closes fine.

um...turn it around?

Yeah, just flip it...

What do u mean?

You have the wire facing to the right so it goes too far out. Flip it so the wire goes left and it will fit.

1- if i do that it doesnt work. the radar wont start.
2- either or the box doesn't close

-.-;;

try flippin wire to the left, and then flippin both fuses.

what u mean by that?

Lol...

Just flip it, flip it _____ .

Unplug add-a-fuse.

Flip the car so that the tires are at the top, roof on the floor. Plug back add-a-fuse.

jay- did you figure this out?

another way is (i mentioned to you before) is to take the pigtail, tin it, align it to the fuse terminal, push both the wire and fuse into the fuse box.

add a 2A fuse in series. i usually just solder it in-line somewhere convenient and wrap it with e-tape. in the 20+yrs using radar detectors, ive never had a fuse blow.

there was a diy on this...

and as i said b4 even if i flip it. it still dont fit. and if i flip it the radar wont turn on...

you're doing it wrong then cause mine works fine. :rofl2:

jay- try this then. it's basically wat i said about tinning your pigtail and pushing it into the fuse slot with the fuse.

i think its my add-a-line kit... its bit different and bigger than the others i see...

jay, mine rubbed the back of the fuse door too but not too bad. i didnt like it because my foot hits that door on occasion and didnt want the add-a-circuit pushing the fuse box.

so just did the wire tap way. super low profile now, nothing rubs. :p

Did you try and put a fuse it the other slot? One is for the original the other for the added line.

Took a picture for you:
