Alright folks. Spent about 40 minutes tonight making this thing work. Below is a write up. Although everything went great with my install, no guarantees for your install, and I'm not to be held liable for any damages caused. Special thanks to crucial_fiction who did the hard top write up, which was a great starting point for the cabrio install.



1. Pull down your upper toggle bank. To do this just grab a nice hold above the center light and pull straight down with moderate force. There are about a half dozen tabs, 3 in the front, 3 in the back. It feels like, and sounds like you are breaking it, but you don't. You'll see something like this:


2. Your V1 Direct-Wire Power Adapter will not fit in this space in its standard form. You will have to do some work to make it fit. This thing has a lot of extra hollow space. I use a hack saw to take off both sides and the top part with the velcro. Now it will fit snugly in the hole shown in the 1st picture.
3. I then took my phone cord and ran it through the upper trim and out the windshield side. To do this just pull down a bit on the windshield side, to make room and thread it through.


4. Next thing we will have to do is make a place for our ground. To do this I drilled a small hole in the painted area, put a screw in and attached the ground wire to it.


5. We then tapped our 12v line, which is the purple/blue wire in the larger cluster.


6. Tuck in all the wires. To do this I put as much of them as I could in the area above the passenger side visor.

7. Put your toggle bank back in and you are ready to motor worry free.



I have full res pictures if anyone wants them, just PM me.

 

That looks fantastic. Those V1's stlll the best of the best when it comes to speed detection?
