Hard Wire V1 to mirror
It connects to the upper wires (orange+/black-) and takes, maybe, about fifteen minutes. Pull the plug out the back of the mirror and then disassemble the connector by pulling the grey tabs - insert the positive and negative wires - re-nsert the grey tabs and plug the connector back into the mirror. Done.
The only drawback is that it isn't a switched connection, so you have to remember to turn the V1 off. So what. to me, it was a better alternative (faster for sure) than running the wires down the pillar and into the floor area. Then again, who knows, could be I'll change my tune after I forget to turn it off and drain the battery.

Re: Hard Wire V1 to mirror ('98 Six Speed)
I made a circuit that senses if the battery voltage is over 13 volts. This is normal when the engine is running. If it is, then the circuit turns on the radar detector.

Sounds great!
I've been lagging on hard-wiring my V1. Now that it is winter and this suggestion sounds a bit quicker, I'll give it a try.
