So I take it you are a fan of the V1? I just got one, and am going to install 
it in my newly aquired 330ci this weekend. It is a pain to wire, as there is so 
much plastic on these cars it is hard to find a ground anywhere.If they are 
woth the effort as opposed to a cordless Passport, then I will not mind.
