Hardwiring your V1

[szm426]

Hey guys, I finally hardwired my v1. I first tried to tap the wires in the interior lights, but I blew a fuse and figured that it cant supply enough power to power the radar. So I figured the easist way would be to tap the power outlet(right above the center consule).It worked like a charm.

1. Diconnect your battery.
2. To get to the wires all you need to do is use a flathead screw driver and open it.
3. I tapped the yellow and green colored wire.
4. I ran the wire back and up towards the steering wheel to the left a-pillar.
5. I ran it up the a-pillar and up to the top windsheild.

Its that easy, ill try to post some pics.

I don't have a V1 and I did it a little differently (tapped into the dome lights above the rearview mirror), but this thread has pics of what I did.
