My Valentine 1 is hardwired to the homelink- you just need to tap into a powered line. It's a 15 minute install if you are handy.

There is one on renntech- it's really easy, and it looks good.
Good luck!

My Cars an 04 CTT, no homelink! I just mounted my Valentine 1 on the screen, then ran the long cable up the rain sensor tube, along the inside of the screen, down the screen pillar, I used a credit card to stuff the cable under the headliner and under the side moulding of the screen pillar. When I got to the base of the pillar I just ran it along the top past the speaker grille again pushing it under the trim with the CC and looped it around and into the fuse box on the outside of the dashboard. Once you pull off the cover there you have access to the fusebox, seemed OK to me.
Now just find a spare fuse that's wired to the ignition.
If you'd like I'll post some pics

I've installed several Passport SRX's on Cayennes, I wouldn't recommend this for the novice DIY'er but when done right, looks very professional and works great. This system uses the license plate frame mounted one in the rear, a radar sensor in front, and 2 laser diffusers in front, this is also more expensive than the V1 though.

That's a definite go- I went to the Homelink because I have it, and it's so darn close.

You're welcome- always looking to help and learn from a friend!
Personally, I used 41 for my Motorola bluetooth kit and mounted it in the same spot as Kooser- love the pics on his web site!

I have the Moto controller above my light switch, the mic to the right of my gauges, and the CDR23 integrated for the speaker.
As you can see, my Valentine 1 is hardwired to my homelink.

Sorry, the car really needs to be cleaned, and I have not been up to the task latley.
