I just did my install. After much examination and consideration, I realized that it really wasn't hard to run the power wire back to the center console. I used the concealed display (mounted above my R knee at the bottom of the instrument panel, where I can see it through the steering wheel), and just used the cigarette light adapter inside the center console to power the unit (that adapter is 12v, switched with the key). I didn't have to tap into any wires, although I did have to drill a small hole in the inside front of the center console's interior liner, to get the wire through to the center console. I put my V1 on top of the mirror, mounted with a heavy duty (albeit removable) adhesive; seems to be working perfectly. That, and if I get pulled over, I can pop open the center console and unplug the detector before I stop, so as to fully silence it. It's also pretty invisible when looking at the car from outside.
