Default Shops to do wiring for Stealth V1 Install?

I was wondering if anyone knew of any shops to do Stealth Valentine V-1 Installs.

I remember a while back a few members placed a V1 just under the rear hatch along the head liner, and then routed the display to the remote unit in the dash.

I want to do something like this, but I am a retard when it comes to wiring and cars =P

So if anyone could give me a name and number for a shop around Orange / Anaheim that can do this, I'd really appreciate it!

Matt.

It's really not that hard to do. Just a matter of running the wires. I have mine plugged into the fuse box just to the left of my left foot (drivers compartment). Use a fuse that supplies something that shuts off automatically when you turn the key off in the ignition.

If you want to mount the V-1 up front, it's just a matter of running the wire up under the headliner (very easy to do, you just tuck it in) then down the driver's side A-pillar (use a credit card to sort of stuff the wire under it) then down into the fuse box.

If you want to put it in the back on the headliner, it's just a matter of running the wire up toward the front of the car and doing the same thing. You can try using a hanger to pass the wire or just pull down the side of it a bit and run it that way.

Could you elaborate more on the plugging into the fuse box? Also, the valentine website has all sorts of additional cables for running remotes to other locations...

Specifically they have ones for tying into the fuse box... any recomendations on this? ( I am driving to pebble beach and am finally springing for it =P)

the fuse thing confuses me as well.
I bought my V1 with the remote display and it comes with everything you need for the install on the fuses. Maybe the one thing you might need additionally is a longer telephone wire.

but i'm interested in finally making a clean install for my V1. I'm thinking of doing the drilling a hole into the visor mount method and using a snap fastener to go through the hole where the headliner hole is and securing it that way. Any other advice?
