Question about my V1 install

So i did the V1 install last week with the hardwire kit clipping on to the green/white wire in the sunroof area....and when my car gets hot....the radar keeps resetting itself...but if i push up on the dome light panel and hold it will stay on.....after the car cools down from being on for about 5 min it goes away and works just fine....any ideas what is causing this and how to fix it?

I think judging by the fact that it works when you push up on the panel, you have a bad connection somewhere. Make sure that the ground wire is properly terminated. Go back and redo the tap for the power wire and see if that fixes it. I always recommend going up the A pillar with the wire and using a fuse tap-in though. Not modifying factory wiring is something that I am trying to keep to after all of the electrical problems I had with my last car.

Sound advise, stratplaya06. I originally tapped into the sunroof positive wire in my install, but was experiencing strange sunroof behaviour. I rerouted the positive wire to he fuse box and never had any problems since.
