So im getting ready to hardwire my V1 to my 08 e92 m3. Just a couple questions before i do this.

1. Which port should I use in the fuse box (for an 08 m3)? I will be getting a Fuse Tap.
2. What/where (is) bolt or screw do i use to ground?

sorry if these questions were answered already

If you don't, you can use a self tapping screw and screw into the roof right beside one of the small holes already there. I did it and it works fine.

Didn't want to get up and get the camera.
