I agree with hardwiring the V-1 (dangling cords are bait for bored or vindictive law enforcement), but if you use that power source, your V-1 will ALWAYS be on. Better to use a power source from the fuse box that is off with the key. Run the wire up behind the A-pillar trim. If you re-mount the mirror as high as possible on the windshield, it becomes much more useful and you get those cool maplights back.
