Default V1 hardwiring....where do you run the poewr line? i ran it....

up the a pillar under the weather stripping right next to the window and then through the crack at the top of the a pillar and along the headliner....problem is that left me with a black "line" there. kinda looks weird, doesn't "go" with my opal grey interior. but i found that running along the windshield by the a pillar would've required some tape or something, otherwise the job would've fallen down....

Default I went up from the fuse box and pulled the wires in such a way that...

They came out between the A pillar and the windshield. I then pushed the wire as far forward as I could using a hooked tool to tuck it in. The power wire re-appears about mid windshield and just sits there untill I insert my V1 into the suction cup bracket. Then i just plug her in. When my V1 is not in the car, I simply push the wiring as far forward as I can for asthetic purposes and security. Don't get me wrong . It doesn't look like there are wires hanging out all over the place. Remember, I mount mine low in the windshield not up by the rear view mirror.
