i will be recieving a v1 soon..and i wondering if its possible to hardwire it with the home link mirror with any of the parts it comes with....
i would buy invisible cord but im anxious and want to do it asap..

 

I don't have V1 but I do own Escort x50 and I hardwired it directly to the homelink cable using a regular cut-off phone cable.

You can't use the original V1 wire to tap the homelink. You will need either invisicord (~$14) or in my case, I just used a regular telephone cable (black color preferrable), cut it according to my need and tapped the wires to the homelink cable directly.

Look at the image below.

 

Whats the easiest technique for doing this. Can you remove the entire mirror to get access to the cords easier? Also, you just used a regular phone cord?

Easiest technique is using the invisicord (~$14) and just tap the green & red wires to the homelink jack.

I am using a regular phone cord because I have bunch of extra phone cords laying around the house. It does not cost you if you already have it and it works as well. With the phone cord, you will have to tap the green and red wires to the homelink wires.

 

make sure the fuse is strong enough for both the mirror and radar, the radar should really be wired alone with a direct wire kit from valentine...dont be a cheap as$

 

I've had the V1 wired this way for over two years and 50,000 miles. The amp draw on the V1 is TINY. I prefer soldering as the connection is super strong. Also, there's nothing wrong with buying the a kit or using what came with the V1, but neither is hardwiring it. It's fused, on switch power and stealthy.

 

thats what im saying..how can i use the direct wire kit that came with v1??

any install DIY for lil kit that came with the v1??

 

you tap into the acc wire under the steering wheel and ground the other wire

 

I used the extra cable that came with my V1...

Use this as a guide:

If you cut the extra cable open, you'll see the same red and green wires. You will have to make your own taps unless you can find taps thin enough to work, or are willing to cut open the harness wires and hardwire the cable instead of just tapping into the harness.
