The switch is also helpful if you don't really need the detector if in traffic or around shopping malls when it always goes off. Comes in handy with a stealth install where you don't have access to the unit.

Just tap into the cig lighter right there. Some people are a little hesitant to tap into ignition wires.
Take the A-pillar off and run the wires to the corner of the windshield or if you want, run it all the way to the middle. To get to the center console from the passenger side, I ran the wires behind the glove box but had to take apart the ashtray trim piece to have access to the rest of the install. Use zipties to secure the wires unless you want vibrations. Especially around the A-pillar.

Maybe this will help those needing to tap the ignition wire, but aren't sure how. Pretend the pink wire in the pic is the igntion wire and the other 2 are anything your needing to get power to. Also make sure any power connection you add is properly fused. Hope this helps *Last 2 pics are backwards*

Thats true, but you have to consider who is doing this and what experience they have. If someone were to use an 20-22ga wire tap on an ignition wire, then its very possible the wire will be cut in half. And also if they're not correctly used, can eventually fail.

The initial picture is broken, can anyone repost??
Where can I get the installation manual for V1 into my rear mirror with the wire? I want to know where to connect which wire (color)
