Default Ordered my Valentine V1

Should be here by Tuesday. My question is: I'm mounting it in my ,96 next to the rear view mirror. Can I tap the power for the mirror for the direct line adapter? Thanks

Good choice, my V1 is the best "mod" I bought.

I used an invisicord and tapping right into the power harness that plugs into the back of my rear view mirror.

So you didn't use the direct line adapter, just took 12V directly to the unit?

Yep. Hooking it up takes like a minute.

He's right...it only takes a minute. I mounted the bracket to the mirror on my 08 and bought an invisicord as well. Nice clean install that keeps the cords out of your way.
