I have a V1 hard wired into my '99 S70. The unit is suction-cup-mounted to the windshield, just below the rear-view mirror. The wiring runs up, tucked under the headliner -- just pull it down slightly with your fingers and cram the phone wire in there -- and then down the inside of driver's side A pillar cover and through the side of the dash via existing gaps in the dash pad. There is a factory wiring block under the dash, on the far left in US versions, that includes an accessory-on lead and a ground lead, making the installation of the Valentine One power adapter very easy and completely invisible. This wiring is detailed in my vehicle owner's manual under "Chapter Six -- In Case of Emergency" under the subheading "Installation of Accessories."

How this constitutes an emergency, I don't know. But it's darned handy information for these types of installations.
