For 3 months, I've been trying to pry the clips that hold the overhead console up in the headliner to hardwire my V1. This weekend I learned the secret and popped it down in 20 seconds. After that it took about 20 minutes to tap into a switched 12V source and ground and run a wire above the headliner and out by the vanity light above the visor. My V1 is clipped to the visor with about 2 inches of wire visible. Project complete!
