    Default A little electrical help for V1 direct wiring

    Hi all,
    I want to direct wire V1 to sunroof, which turns on and off w/ ignition key, but I could not find a nice post in the archives written similar to the following
    http://www.ideaphile.com/bmw/v1/index.html
    (I opened the sunroof switch, but mine does not look like the described in this write up).
    Can anyone post a picture (if you have a sunroof powered V1) of the direct wiring illustrating which wire you made the connection. Or tell me which color wire I should connect the V1 wire to get the power when the ingnition is switched on. I know this is a little bit asking too much, but it will help others looking for similar info. In the archives, there are some posts; unfortunately, none of them shows really how. Thanks for the help.

    Thanks Jon K in advance. That would be wonderful. I just want to see which wire you connected the V1 (the blue connector that came with v1) so that I can do the same thing. I opened the sunroof panel, but I did not know which wire I should use to connect the blue connector for power and bentley was not much help either in identifying the wires. The web site I posted above explaining the steps was great, but everything in the pictures (for 1999) seemed different there compared to my car (1995).
    BTW, I tried the link for brosher gave, my computer was not able open the page (http://www.kindel.com/bmw/).
    Qube, t is legal to use RD in my area so V1 seemed to be the best choice for me.
