    yeah, id say it is.

    you can mount the little control unit somewhere useful.
    like what i've done. this way i can see the alert light quite easily.

    Uh, AirMoore, you're going to have to get a new avatar so that I can read your posts when my nurse is in my office.

    You can see my installation at http://www.radardetector.net/forums/...r-gadgets.html

    t is certainly worth it, if you can do a little wiring and cable routing. I was able to run the wire up the windshield column, across under the headliner and out through the rearview mirror. Hardly visible at all. And I tucked the remote display into my instrument cluster. (That wire you see near the steering wheel is not the RD direct wire, it goes to a second GPS unit and I have since tucked that behind the dash as well).
