Thanks for that, I am still waiting for my US 560 4 Matic that I ordered in May, arrived in July, and is still at the VPC awaiting release.
I am hoping to hardwire my V1 through the cigarette lighter as well.

If you are tapping the cig lighter for power, it's a little bit more involved than that. The hardest part is removing the wood grain top piece.

It may be easier to run the wire all the way to the trunk and add-a-fuse to where the cigarette lighter fuse is.
