Search for Valentine, I just installed mine in about 10 min last night using the in the DIY forums for reference.

Easy, and only a 10 or 11mm openend wrench (Spanner for your guys in the UK) was required.

aaah, here it is...

Is this what you want? If not then, maybe it's on the V1 site elsewhere.

Don Juan, I saw your V1 install in the DIY section. Are you able to use your sun visor or does the V1 unit get in the way?

Thanks

Be carefull. Certain types of tint will block the ability of it to perform. The tint across the top of most auto windshields can obstruct its ability to perform to maximum potential.
