can ya help put that in noob terms? haha. what do they stand for?

i dont know what part of texas your in but im smack in the middle of houston so lots of traffic and buildings, im wondering if ill get lots of falses on k band... (and i wouldnt be able to turn it off)

POP is just that, POP Radar..... a practically useless thing there as a sales gimmick mostly

and SWS is Safety Warning System, a good Idea that never got around for the transmitters............ so another useless sales gimmick

I would go with the Bel IMO. Check out http://guysoflidar.com/march-2007/ra...ctor-test.html for the latest tests. Also I know it is easy to hardwire it to the sunroof and if you have the side curtain airbags I recommend you do that since you wouldn't be able to run the cable up the front pillar, otherwise use an add-a-fuse.[/url]

ah, a fellow mazda driver, sweet
with the information ive been given im thinking i should get a hardwire set up that has a fuse in it (just in case). to make it easier i was thinking about the cable with the extra box on it to silence the detector, but where would be a good place to route it to.
i think im going to have to route it down the side pillar (for the switch) and then back up to hardwire it.

any suggestions, since you probably know the car pretty well (mazda3)?? im kinda stuck with no easy way out..
