Default Installing Valentine 1 In 08 Civic Need Easy Switched 12 V

So I am going to install my Valentine 1 in my new Civic 4 door EX. Is there a easy switched 12 volt that would be easy?

Has any one done this and found the best location? I get my civic in the next day or 2.

the "cleanest" way has already been stated:
tap into the map lights 12v constant. unless you are planning on mounting the v1 lower on the windshield.

I just picked it up. My model is the EX with a sunroof. The sunroof switch next to the map light, I should be able to tap into it right? I figure there must be 3 wires, constant, ignition accessory, and switch.

Any idea if I'm right? All this is assuming I can get the little V1 black adapter up in there.
