  • V1 power adapter in the trunk, fuse tapped off the the back side of the lighter socket fuse.
  • 4-wire line from the unit socket in the adapter to the v1, run under the right side floor edge, up the door seal, and across the front windshield edge to the V1, mounted high and to the right of the rearview mirror. There's enough room to run it completely hidden.
  • 4-wire line from the acc socket in the adapter to the remote display, run under the left side floor edge, up the dash edge to wherever you want to place the display. There's enough room to run it completely hidden.
Under 30 minutes to set mine up this way. I subsequently removed the remote display, as I wasn't happy with the look of the remote display anywhere where I didn't have to shift my head around to see it.
