re. WRT setting up a Valentine

[Linus Toy]

That is how I had my original CM Passport wired/powered...and exactly my
experience (power cycling) as well as not having it consistently power down
(even after opening the driver's door)  Since I bought the V1 remote display, I
had to have a wire run either way, so I decided to go for a known solid power
lead instead of the sunroof wiring.
