Which wire to tap for Valentine 1 hardwire

Is there a third gen V1 hardwire how-to? If not, where is the best place to tap for power? Pics would be helpful but a description would be sufficient. My cigarettle lighter doesnt work and I need to get my V1 working before something bad happens.

Thanks.

I used the cig lighter. Easiest place to get power from and then iran the wire up aroud the winshield and had it come down behind the mirror. Only two inches of wire showing through that way. Nice and clean. I didnt have a sunroof but that is another option.
