V1 Switched Power Hardwire Installation
dtrounce replied to 1080iAddict's topic in DIY Articles - Carrera (997-1) - Mods
So I hardwired my Valentine 1 second day of 997 Turbo Cab ownership. There is switched power available from the rain sensor wiring in the dome light (black/orange is switched power; either of the brown wires is ground). I used the V1 hardwire adapter just outside the dome light, and tap connectors from RadioShack inside the dome light housing. Then, there is a short telephone cable to the V1, which is mounted on suction cups at the top of the windshield on the driver's side of the mirror. I also have a long, completely hidden telephone cable for a remote display on top of the steering column. This goes across the top of the windshield, down the driver's side A-pillar, down the top of the dashboard, and across to the remote display on the steering column. It can be pushed behind the trim with a very small screwdriver so it is completely hidden. -
That looks like the microphone I got with the Tooki. Here's my install location - very similar to Bob's. Scuzy - I'd be interested in a picture of yours. Moni (CEO of NAV-TV) has confirmed that this is the part he selected - it's an Ericsson part. See http://navtv.com/forum/index.php?topic=47.0 Top up, on the freeway at highway speeds, two reports now have said that the conversation is perfectly understandable. One said it sounded like a speakerphone, the other said it sounded like a normal cellphone call. I haven't tried top down yet.

V1 Switched Power Hardwire Installation

I'd be very interested in how you did it without cutting any wiring or soldering. I am leasing my new 2008 997 Turbo Cab, and need to be able to reverse the installation on selling / lease return. Also, any ideas on how to run hardwire power on a 997 with a remote display on top of the steering column? Where would you tap power from - the interior dome light, the center console, or somewhere else? I previously hardwired my V1 into my 2000 986 Boxster using the V1 direct wire adapter onto a spare audio plug in the center console. I ran two telephone wires - one along the passenger-side console, up the passenger A pillar to the passenger-side sun visor, and the other to the remote display mounted on top of the steering column. I just reversed this after 8 years and it all is back to original.
