Valentine One hardwire install?

Yes i know theres a crap load of topics about this but i couldnt find the one i am looking for. I have a 2013 Gp2 and i like to hardware my v1 behind the mirror so i would be looking for power for the over head. The problem is that since i don't have a sun roof does anyone know what wire i could use for power. I am think that the purple/dark blue stripe might be there since car makers don't have different harness for all the different options that they have on cars, they just use one. I like to know if anyone out there has done a hardware install on a mini without a sun roof.

I ran my V1 hardwire kit through the headliner, down the pillar, and into the left kick panel where I found and attached it to a switched 12v source. I know this is a little different than what you want, but it was very easy and didn't require removal of any parts except for the kick panel.

I also ran the wire across, down the A-Pillar and into the kick panel. It took a half-hour and the install is clean and perfect.
