I looked on other webistes like SLK32.com about tapping power from the homelink or lighting area. But the homelink in the W203 chasis uses an extra wire. Many of the other wires in the sunroof switch/map lighting have return lines. Similar to a CAN. There maybe some fiber optics in there too. But decided to use the cigarette lighter as a source for power as it is located very close to the ashtray where the consealed display resides. This is probably one of the most easiest installs if you want to hardwire your V1 or other to a switchable power source.

I tired the 8' V1 cord but was about 1.5' short. Radio Shack has 12' phone cord in black that work perfectly.

Can't see your site!
I installed my V1, off the wire behind the dome light. It's up high and no wires dangling.
Just another approach.

You'll have to create an account and sign in.

I know another C32 owner that tapped into the dome light power. Unfortunately there was not enough room up there for the spliter for consealed display.

Norm,

The problem exists in the URL string behind the text, and it is the same across all 3 of your posts.

Typically, a url shown like this "www.ofoto.com/I.jsp?m=275...1273838362", the "..." means there is more to the url than capable of being displayed.

However, your actual link goes to a page that reads "www.ofoto.com/I.jsp?m=275...1273838362" instead of the complete url string. That is why none of the members here are able to reach the designated page.

If you have the complete url string, please post it so the we can view the page intended.

Thanks,

Danny

I couldn't change my mistake after the site went down. Must be a cable modem thing. :P

Thanks,
