Everyone swears by the Valentine detectors, and I am sure they are very good products, perhaps even better than the Escort. But my Passport 7500 has been with me for over a year, and has served me well, so I am sticking with it. The Miata is the THIRD car I install it in.
I also use a SmartCord, which gives me a remove indicator and mute button. Taking advantage of my cellphone mount, I mounted the SmartCord indicator just beneath it, giving my car a very high tech look.
To do this, you will need a 2" L shaped bracket from Lowe's (or your favorite utility store). Cut the L bracket on the bottom end to fit the SmartCord button.
You can attach the bracket to one of the screws that holds the Portable Solution Kit on the cellphone mount, and attach the SmartCord button with some double-sided tape. You can also attach it with a screw if you'd like, as the L bracket has a hole to support that.
Having the cord professionally installed gets rid of unsightly cables connected to the lighter, and it gives the cockpit a more professional look. I like it.
