Valentine 1 Dome Light Hardwire Install
thanks to "UncleJosh" for this !
Disclaimer: As per previous threads, this is a simple and easy install, but, tapping into the domelight hot wires will cause the detector to turn-off and on when you open or close the doors, for example. If this bothers you, then hardwire to fuse box as per other threads....

- Remove dome light console by gently popping out 2 remote buttons with a small flathead screwdriver. Two phillips head screws are revealed. Look in manual if you are unsure about this.
- Remove the screws and gently remove console. The back end will pop off via 2 retainer plugs and sockets by gentle prying. See pic.
- As per picture: 1) Press fit V1 black wire junction connector in front of sunroof motor, this is a perfect fit. 2) Push excess wires under front headliner, there is plenty of room. 3) Tap into dome light hot, brown wire with white stripe using a 18-22 gauge splicer/tap from Radio Shack. The one from Valentine is too big.
- Do not use ground associated with sunroof motor, the ground will be interrupted when sunroof is operated. Use hole for dome light console fixation.
- Run appropriate amount of phone style wire through front of console towards windshield, and button up dome light console

That's a nice install DJ.
There have also been other descriptions of wiring the V1 into the power autodim mirrors (a la 1080iAddict on Rennteam and Renntech).
EDITED:
Here is Adam's Mirror Hardwire Technique
Here is My Modified Fusebox wire job
