There are numerous posts in the forum on how to do this. I did it by using power from the upper console, specifically the wire for the switched 12V to the garage door opener on the mirror.

To drop the console, you have to release the 2 clips in front. Easiest way to do this is to remove (carefully) the black plastic rings around the 2 reading lights. If you look closely up there, towards the windshield, you will see the back of the 2 clips with a gap on the side of each. Take an "L-shaped" paper clip, slide it in the gap and rotate it to pull back each clip and the console will drop from the front. The back of it will slide right out.

I ran the wire across the headliner and out from behind the courtesy light behind the visor so very little is visible when the V1 is mounted on the visor.

Be careful and good luck!
I went out and checked this out, mine appears to use an adhesive on the front end of the panel? Do I pull it hoping that it re adheres?
