I've had a problem with my Valentine V1 restarting every time the car comes out of auto-shutoff. The Porsche dealer bought a couple BOB's from Valentine to maintain the voltage above the 10V minimum for both my V1 and my Escort detectors, and my laser jammer. It's working for the Escort and laser, but not for the Valentine.

I talked to Mike Valentine (he drove the Carrera GT pace car at my race this weekend), and he says this is the only time he's heard of this problem. He has a Turbo and has done a number of other Panameras. He's wondering if the GTS pulls a bit more current/voltage because of the new V8.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

 

No problems with V1 and start/stop in my GTS. Hardwired through a power source in the control console above the rear-view mirror - done by a shop here that does a lot of Panamera's. My guess is you just need to tap a different power source, should not need anything else to maintain voltage etc.

 

you are using a hardwire or cig lighter?

 

Hardwired.

 

I have this same exact problem with my setup. hardwired V1 with Quad Laser interceptor Jammer. I've been avoiding auto off on the Panamera TT as I couldn't figure it out.
