I don't know about that particular set of equipment, but I can tell you about the console part a little. This past weekend I hard-wired my V1, which required removal of a number of trim items. My goal was to connect power at the retractable port in the console, figuring the circuit was already properly sized for the detector. I ended up removing the inside mirror trim, partially removing the windshield header trim, completely removed the glove box and center console lid, in addition to several other trim pieces at the passenger grab handle. I also removed the console to access the back of the power port.

I chose to remove the positive wire and contact from the harness connector, then solder the V1 positive to said contact, and reinserted the contact into the connector. The ground I attached to one of the screws that hold the grab handle trim on. With these connections there should be no electrical problems whatsoever as I did not tap into power just anywhere. That particular circuit is specifically for accessories like radar detectors and handheld GPS units.

As for warranty issues, the dealer has to prove that any problems you may have in the future are directly caused by your modification or aftermarket component before they can deny coverage. That said, obviously you're out of luck if you or your installer happen to break something in the process of installation, or if you tap the wrong wire for power and fry a computer, but generallt burden of proof rests on the dealer's shoulders. Also, they cannot by law void the entire warranty if they do find proof, just for that particular part or system.

I know this may not be the exact answer you're looking for, but I hope it helps some. If you have a good relationship with your dealer, perhaps they would be willing to print off the related service manual pages to aid part removal and installation. Mine is helpful in this way.
