How does the wiring for this thing work? Does it plug in directly into the Valentine 1? So I'll have 2 cables coming out out of the main unit?

There are two cables; one runs from the cigarette lighter plug to the main V1 unit. The other runs from the cigarette lighter plug to your concealed display.

I talked with my son and he said, as I can determine, there is one wire leaving the device and splits into two. He isn't sure both of them are needed. He never tried it out. Hope this is helpful. It works like a dream!!

The only problem I had was running the cable from the two units and the main connector, I would recommend not replacing the cable unless you have to.

One cable powers both. There is a main unit that has the DVD player and power ports. The second unit is just a slave unit the shares the video feed from the master unit.

I do that, works fine I just plug in a splitter and this will work with the type you have. and yes I have a 2 line system hard wire. I just split so I can use the phone line too

You need to hire or find someone who can read the wiring diagram that came with the unit. Sorry, don't mean to sound short, but it was pretty easy for me. Can't give you a step by step through this text box.

It's one male, one female so whatever would have plugged in - still plugs into the adapter. All this does is change the direction of the plug, then you go ahead and plug in whatever would have fit. Also be clear - this is the one most people will want - the 270's. "90-degree" usually turns the connection to be *into* the device you want to plug into - which is useless. If you're trying to make a "straight up in the back of a TV" connection - face *out* instead, this is what you want.

There is a seperate unit for each....one goes on or near your breaker box and the other goes inline on your main cable coming into the house.

Hi, I found the standard to be all three prong, not really two prong. They're cheap enough so get at least one two prong if you're worried. You'll be more than happy with the Orei grounded universal, thats all I used. Good luck :)

it is two and the wiring. Some models are pre wired. Look and see if yours is otherwise there are a number of good you tube telling how to install. the only thing I needed was a fuse adapter (mini) only available through ebay works great. Toyota will tell you no such thing I thing they just want you to pay them to install.

it just plugs into the standard wall outlet. I works well. No problems with the unit at all.

It comes with a current transformer (CT) to read current. The CT looks like a little doughnut with a 5/8" hole in the center. Big enough to go around a 2/0 cable.

You can plug bare wires into both sides. I used 16 gauge Monster Cable on the back, and 12 gauge on the front between the receiver and the plate. I used banana plugs on the front to make connecting/disconnecting the receiver easier. This also made for a clean looking install, and I recommend this approach. If you were going to use bare wire on the front, don't go any smaller than 16 gauge--to ensure a good connection.

Where it says phono or line in. You probably need to buy some more wires or a female to female to connect the two wires. It only comes with one wire.

Direct wire for sure. I don't recall there also being a plug. Could there be 2 models?

Actually you can connect the power to either controller, or any of the plugs on the strings. That is right. The power does not necessarily have to come through the controller. I tested and it worked OK. I have 2 strips in serial. I feed the power through second strip instead of controller. That gives even voltage distribution. I don't think that you can connect more 1 power sources, unless that you cut the red wire (have not tried). If you have 4 strings in serial you can cut the red wire to the 3rd and 4th string so that you can have another power connected to them.

The outlet supports two hot wires but only one white/neutral one. I had two white wires so I had to look up a YouTube video on creating a small pigtail that safely combines the two (apparently just stacking two curved wires to one post is unsafe). The outlet tests and works fine now.
