I got motivated to work on the tt as I just got my clear sidemarkers from eric at bumperplugs. Yeah!
The hard wiring went well. First I opened up the sunroof access panel. This is done by removing 2 screws and tugging at the lip until it pops off. Then, I wired it through an always on wire to the lighting. Grounded it thru one of the screw mounting holes. I ran the wires out to near the rearview mirror. My V1 is mounted just below the mirror. Very slick looking. Took about 30 mins. Id be happy to walk anyone thru it if they are interested.

 

What colour wire did you tap into for power ? Thanks

 

It is the front left on the 4 wire block. Not sure what color though, but definately front left

 

I just checked for a power source that was always on and used the red wire with a black stripe that is out of the most forward bundle going into the dome light housing (not the sunroof.

 

Thanks, I'll take a look this weekend...

 

Nice job. How about some pics?

 

dont get an always on line.. get ana acc online so that when u turn off your car the v1 turns off too, you need to tap i believe the browngreen wire i can take a look if u want...

or if u have a line tester it would be better...

by tapping that when i turn on my motor v1 goes on and when i turn it off v1 shuts off too

 

If you don't want to bother with tapping a line, check out one of these

I thought of doing this too but I hate the initial alarm of the V1 so I just leave it on most of the time when parking. I dont think it uses much power.
