Trying to hardwire my valentine 1 to my car and not sure if this wiring kit will work. If it would work where do I hook up the red outlet and the metal ring to?
(Maybe I should have posted this in the Parts/Accessories forum /shrug )

It would work I believe, but there is no fuse. If there is a spike in voltage for any reason, your V1 would be fried. I would order the OE hardwire kit from Valentine direct for ~$20.

As long as you use a existing fused circuit it should be OK.

Or you can add a fuse

Unfortunately my electrical know how is poop lol, no idea how to add a fuse and anyone still know what those two wires connect to? lol

Well, if you attach it to the wire that goes to the overhead lights, then it should be protected by a fuse.

The round metal circle thing is your ground, you can attach it to an existing screw in the roof if there is one, or drill into the roof subframe like I did and ground it there. The other one is the power cable, that will need to be connected to a 12v source, i.e. the 12v wire in the overhead lights. The color coding is a bit different on my car, so I am not sure which wire it is, but there are plenty of DIY's if you search
