DIY: Valentine 1 HardWire (pix heavy)

Will this install be useful for Any detector, or is it pretty native to just the V1?

It was raining out for the 2nd half of the install, and working with that fuse panel area w/ the door closed is pretty difficult.

Really the only difference between v1 and any other detector when hardwiring is the "inbetween" piece. They always have 1 ground and 1 power that can be connected to the same exact spots, and they always end in something that goes to the detector (rj-11 in most cases). The inbetween in this case was the little cylinder. My last detector was a beltronic, and it had a mute button, so i would have mounted that in an easy accessible place. All the connection points and spots to run cable to hide it are the same though

Awesome, I'm looking at either the V1 or the 9500xi... Not 100% sure which one to go with yet. So I'll be using this as the basis of whichever install I go with.
