I tried to search the board for this item but the pictures used in the tutorials seem to have expired.

Can someone explain with pics, what parts are needed and pics of how to install the V1 hidden in a C32?

I have the V1 now suction-cupped to the windshield and it is annoying with the power cord going on top of everything. Even if it stays there but the power is from somewhere OTHER then the cig lighter it would be fine.

Thanks!

u can hard wire the V1 to the battery or tap into the rear view mirror's power i know some ppl on this form have used the power from the rear view mirror to power up the V1 but i did a direct connection to the battery. sorry i dont have any pic

How would I go about doing that?

The power connector is a phone cord, I could splice it but then what.. How can I make a clean run to the battery?

There is probably a kit to do this that isn't too expensive, but another option would be an item like this:

You hard-wire that to say a hot and a ground lead somewhere connected to the door-lights and just plug the V1 cig-lighter plug into that device up there. You could find one at a BestBuy installation departments without the little plate on the RadioShack one, but I couldn't find a good pic of it.

v1 comes with a hardwire adapter

ya all the V1 come with a hard wire kit, u dont need to cut the phone cord that would be really hard way to make this work. if ur V1 did not have the hard wire kit u can call V1 support group and get them to send u one. u will need that to make it work, and make ur life a lot easer.

when u open the hood, look where the battery is there is also a external power supply spot just run the wire from there into ur car and power up the V1 from there. i'll try to get u some pic of mine.
