I am going to change my set up so that it is just a dot like Thermossman did so it is easier to see on the right side but I also bought the "Direct Wire SmartCord" for $29 at Best Buy which is a hard wire kit that has a remote light and mute button. I went with Aaron1121's hard wiring method and it worked out perfect because I mounted the remote display right behind the door window defrost vent so almost no wires are exposed. This way it won't matter if you are looking one way or the other there is a light that catches your eye. I installed the Escort 9500ix which I have also been really happy with. I also bought the mounting bracket that is referenced in post #15 above for $25 and it works great - don't have to worry about the suction cups failing anymore.
