Easy to Install
Installation of Canbus requires the following parts:
1. V1C221 module (included in the kit)
2. V1C221 harness (included in the kit)
3. Valentine One or V1 Remote Radar Detector (not included)
4. V1 Remote Audio Control module, Barrel Power connector, Long Cables, Installation hardware, Remote Display (not included)
The installation is quite simple. The Valentine One or V1 Remote hard wire power block provides power for the detector, remote audio, and interface module. Connect the Black wire to a solid ground and the red wire to switched 12V. This can be found at the cigarette plug or at the front fuse panel. All components connect using the standard phone jack cables identical to the ones provided with your valentine detector and accessories. Connect from the Main out on the power block to the Power In on the remote audio controller. Then connect form the Power Out to the IN on the V1C221. Finally connect from OUT on the V1C221 to the Valentine One Detector
Finally locate the CAN distributor block attached to the driver under dash panel. The CAN Distributor is located on the top side of the under dash panel and is visible once the panel is unscrewed and pulled down. There are three blocks side by side with each block having 6 sockets. Each block is different and is identified by the wire colors running to them (green, brown, and yellow). Plug the 2 wire CAN connector into any free position in the block with the yellow wires.
Installation/Tips
Make sure you have the appropriate Valentine radar detector and volume module or the V1 Remote radar detector and installation hardware. Both can be ordered from the radar detector section of this web site.
