Stealth Valentine1 Display by Toy Guy

I could not do it that way, because I need the Direct Wire Power Adapter installed, in order to use the Remote Display.
And for that, I need the telephone looking plug to be attached.
In your case, the wire looks like the Poodle fur-do. Where you got no telephone cable type insulation for about 1.5 feet of wire. That's certainly one way to do it. Just not the way I chose it.
One of the main reasons for this, is because I already have a crack in my windshield, and I need it replaced. Those wires will come exposed once again, and I would have to once again insert them into the little tiny space between the windshield and A-pilar once I get the thing replaced. Chose against it.

If all I wanted is to have it hardwired, then I see where what you did is fine. You can also draw power to the V1 from the wires that power the garage door opener. But that is not what I wanted.

Striping the wires and hiding them between the window and the A-Pilar was one idea I also though of, but I eventually left that as a last option, just in case.

I did the whole job without messing up the trim piece. All you really have to do is make sure you have clean hands, or if you get the trim dirty, there's always a bit of soap and water to clean it up.

I did not completely remove the A-pilar trim. I simply loosened it, to give me some room to snake the V1 wire across it.

There are many ways to get a V1 hardwired, just as there are many ways to put the main unit location.
