This should take about 30 mins: Take the wire with the fuse in it that comes with V1, pull out the fuse for the Cig Lighter(since it's turned on/off with ignition) stick the end of the wire in so it's touching the connector, & then plug the fuse back into place. This should hold the wire in place. Run the wire up the side post(if you got the optional hidden display, you could also mount onto steering wheel column in front of gauges) pushing it into place behind the rubber molding with a butter knife. Continue hiding wire up and into t-top roof trim and over to V1. I've had it installed this way for over 2 years without any problems. Hope this helps.
