V1 Hardwire Question
Last night I decided I hardwire my V1. I used a YouTube video where the install was done on a F10 M5.. The video said to use the Green/Brown wire, which didn't work for me. Instead I used the Green/Red wire, and had no problems. My question is this, what voltage is the wire I tapped, what does it control, and should I tap a different wire instead?

Simple. get yourself a multimeter and test it. You just need a ignition 12v power source. Meaning you only get 12v when ignition is ON and 0 volts when that car is off. Doesnt matter what wire you use because (i hope) your power tap has a individual fuse in it. Also, make sure you use a good ground. Thats it.
What mount did you use? rear view mirror or window cup mount?

you superglued the ground wire?! lol take the time to BOLT the ground C-Clip to a near location. vibration will eventually loosen that up and can cause a short.

Worst case scenario is that it comes loose again and I take it to the shop to have it installed professionally
