Can't argue with good looking. How are you finding the homelink/compass/autodim? I've always wanted one of those, but I think the only car we've ever had with that was my mum's T-Bird, and it may not have been homelink because it didn't have that symbol. Can't remember what Ford called it.

My rear window is tinted so I am not sure how the autodim is doing. My last x cars have had it so it just seems normal by now and my jeep is high enough that few lights can hit the mirror.

Homelink is again something that I have come to expect as normal so I am happy to have it. My jeep does not have it so I put an opener under the roll bar cloth to hide it and have it one place without putting it on a visor or it sliding around. It is not something I would pay a lot for but I wanted the Touring pkg so did not have a choice.

So what kind of radar detectors are good? There are so many out there. Cops these days have front and back speed detectors.

I really like the Passport 9500. It is nice to have the gps to block out known false signals. Others swear by the Valentine. I liked the arrows on it but like the Escort better overall.

Best bet is to do some research searching for reviews.
