Yep, $599 plus parts and it looks a litte rough (IMHO). That's why I made my own! Heh!!

Bah, your first link lists in one of its bullets that "in most states radar detectors are illegal." Simply not true. I hate ebay...

UKChris, please PM me the ebay listing!

Here it is, for those that asked... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260034591582

I forgot to add... after delivery and installation I'll buy the original mirror and remote display (if you have one) for $25 each, if the buyer wants to sell them.

Chris.

good job Chris! I have had the BMW one for about 3 years now on my 318i and it rocks. It can be hard to see in strong sunlight but it is ********************en. I knew somebody would do it for the Boxster mirror. The real problem now is where to hide the V1 unit. On my bimmer, I have it clipped to the visor, but hidden completely inside a small kleenex box!! with a cutout in the front for the sensor and a hardwire to the map light for power. I have been pulled over and the cop never even knew it was there.

Good Job!!
