Need help...Hardwiring V1 in a 2005 MCS (pics appreciated)

I just purchased a valentine one, and am wanting to hardwire it in BOO, she is a 2005 MCS. I have looked through the forums, read them mostly, and REALLY appreciate the pictured one with the R56...

But i need some help with the R53, anyone have pictures of what to pull, pull down, cut, splice into, tap into, etc.

Can EVERYONE here help?....Does anyone have their V1 wired in a R53 with pictures that can help me?

My email is toplessta69@yahoo.com

Thanks snowman

I never cared much for tapping into existing wires. I ran a hidden wire from the V-1 next to the mirror down to the fuse box. I then purchased a 12v power tap that allows you to draw power from the fuse box and is removable. Just find a source that is only powered when the ignition is on.
Works great.
