2015 BMW M4 [2.75]
My V1 has never let me down. Its like a trusty co­
pilot I've had for years, and usually one of the first
things to do to a new daily. I've never been a fan of the telephone cord visible
on the windshield. While V1 has recently released
the Savvy, it's just additional clutter in the cabin
area and I'd probably end up taking it out with a
wild kick by accident one day. Instead, we'll be
hardwiring the V1 to turn on/off with the ignition.
Items Needed
­ Valentine One Radar Detector
­ Valentine One Hardwire Kit
­ RJ11 Interface Cable
­ (2) ScotchLock wire clips (not pictured, Red 18­
22AWG)
­ (2) Male Spade connectors (18­22AWG) 1. Start by crimping the spade connectors onto
the hardwire kit.
2. Pull off trim plate on sunroof panel/light
cluster.
3. With a small pocket screwdriver, press the
retaining tab while slightly pulling on sunroof
module and work out of place. There are (2)
retaining tabs on opposite sides.
4. Remove plastic mirror housing by pulling
apart. Crimp ScotchLocks onto wires as
follows: Green/Brown Stripe & Brown/Black
Stripe.
5. Route Power/Ground leads through
headliner to exit by driver's side of rearview
mirror.
6. Pull some slack on connecting leads by
driver's side of rearview mirror.
7. Connect spade connectors to ScotchLocks as
follows: Green/Brown = +12V Switched/KL30
& Brown/Black = Ground.
8. Connect RJ11 cable to [MAIN] port on V1
Hardwire Kit.
9. Reinstall mirror housing, route RJ11 cable
through headliner to driver's side of mirror.
10. Reinstall remaining trim pieces and plug
into RJ11 port on V1. Press START button and
test. Install is complete. Verify V1 position is clear of
headliner and does not interfere with sun visor. This and much more covered in our journal thread
here:
