I finally got around to hardwiring my A8, and it sure is nice.

I just got another hardwire adapter from Valentine, for the Boxster. Has anyone here done one? Where did you tap power, and how did you route the power (phone) cable? Suggestions?

I normally mount my V1 low, in the center of the windshield, just above the dash.

You'll find many great articles there that applies to Caymans as well as Boxsters. Join in!

Excellent! That's a great post there.

FYI, there exists little brass clips that give you a spade-type electrical quick connect. I'm not keen on just wrapping wire around the lug of the fuse, per that procedure.

Here's what they look like, with link for more info:

I think I got a pack at NAPA.

I used those too!

I did a pretty clean installation on my 997S Cab... See the link:

I really can't endorse an installation in which you have a power wire sticking out of the fuse array.

Why not, edgy? Ever looked at the back of a fuse array? What do you think is sticking out of it?

That said, I don't mind using one of the insulation displacement type power taps.

It must be my electrical upbringing. It just bugs me to see a wire sticking out of the FRONT of a fuse box.

(I'm in the electronics business and that would just never be mil-spec compliant!)
