Yes, I was hoping somone would post this as a "how-to". I may do it myself when I get around to ordering my V1.
I have had the front dome light fixture out, and it comes out in one piece, unlike on the E60 (5 series). There appears to be lots of room up there for the power module, and I am sure that there is a wire that can be used for key-on power only. I didn't spend too much time looking at wires when I was in there, but I am sure it wouldn't be too hard to find a +12V wire.
There was a harness for the sunroof power and also for the dome lights themselves, as well as the self dimming/compass mirrors if you have them. There is also a nice place for the wire to exit right in front of the rear-view mirror, so finding the right wire should be the only challenge.
Please, if anyone installs or gets it installed, have your installer (perhaps yourself) take a picture of the correct wire they are tapping for the power lead. Then please post the picture for the rest of us. I am sure everyone would be much obliged.
