I found the best placement to be just on the passenger side of the inside rear view mirror, tucked tightly in the nook at the top of the windshield. This allows a clear view of the V1 out the back glass, as well as being out of the way while driving. As far as why to hardwire, I just don't like all the wires going to the power outlet. Plus, the power outlets in the X5 are always hot, and I don't want to have to turn the V1 off and on all the time.
