LOL.
I would also advise against this.
I tapped a wire in my BMW's upper harness as suggested on multiple forums and ended up ruining my bluetooth mics. The dealer replaced the mics but to this day, people say it sounds like I am holding my phone out the window while talking.
If you are getting a V1, would suggest that you get the Savvy module. It plugs into your OBD port to draw power and road speed, and it acts as a device to automatically mute the volume under a certain speed threshold. Bonus - it's also your power supply! It's not hard to tuck the wires into the molding to make them invisible.

For years, I've just clipped the V1 to a visor, but it's cumbersome, and doubt it's the proper angle to capture a laser gun.

The savvy seem ok, but I believe the obd on Porsche have constant power, so would the V1 be on all the time? Guess I dont know how it works with power.

In my wife's 328 I was able to pull the trim panel off and easily run it so it didn't get near the airbag. The airbag also doesn't start until about half way up between the dash and roof, so it is safe to cross the pillar at the bottom of the pillar which is what I did in the Cayenne since I couldn't get the trim panel off. Then the cable just runs up between the trim and windshield.

Mike and others, have you had any problem with the suction cup mounts breaking loose from the windshield?? This has always been a worry of mine.
BTW, Nice looking P-GTS you have on order, Mike. Congrats!

If the plug is good and I'm not doing something crazy, it will arrest the fall. I think the clips on the plug in all three cars is currently broken though which can result in dash damage.

As long as both the windshield and cups are cleaned well, I've never had one fall off. If I don't get a good cleaning, however, it falls at seemingly odd times.

Just sent it in for a updated one with all the bells and whistles. Should be here tomorrow...including new suction cups.
