Where can I plug my V1?

I have a Valentine V1 with the concealed display. In the past (Audi A6, Acura TL) I have plugged in the lighter socket under the radio, right in front of the gear shifter. My future 335is coupe does not have a socket there. Any suggestions?

They moved it under the glove box

Or you can hardwire it.

hard wire it with a mini fuse tap from a local auto store (or the direct wire kit).

It's so much cleaner to not have the dangling cord. I keep the original cord in the glove box in case I swap cars / loaners.

Hi, I just got my V1 as well and I hardwired it to the top console light. Look for some instructions on how to remove the console panel. IMO, it looks so much nicer.
