Valentine One Hardwire?
Hi all,
I'm considering having my dealership hardwire my Valentine One in my 2013 X3 when I pick it up... They'd charge 1 hour labor - $124.00. Is this a fair price? I know it is fairly easy, especially with the hardwire kit included with the radar detector... I'm just not really comfortable popping off panels and tapping into wires. |

It' much more easier than that. Buy valentine + valentine OBD plugin module. Connect valentine one to directly to ODB port for power and mount valentine on the sun visor. Done. 2 min job. Clean and no messing around with any plastic parts |

i did the hardwire myself in my new 2013 back in april, you can look at my write-up with picturess in here, feel free to ask any questions:
http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showth...=549579&page=2 again, like i said in that thread, "removal of the console was the most time consuming and would take a lot of courage to remove. but once it has been removed and the trick and step are revealed, no big deal, i can easily go back and re-open it with a heartbeat now." just look at the pictures and description, u will have an idea how to remove it. |

I am planning to use SAVVY to mount the Valentine1. Have you seen someone using it? I would like to make sure it works without issues in X3, as the Valentine1 site does not have BMW in their list. Thanks. |
