V1 hardwire DIY?
Sup fellas, I just picked up my '03 Orion Blue C32 today ![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I searched the forums, but I couldn't really find anything on hardwiring a V1 to my new car. I was planning on tapping into the overhead lights. Anybody know how to take down those panels and which color wire to tape into?

The hardest part was finding something to ground it to. I ended up using the biggest screw in there, which you'll need a wrench to loosen.
