I saw these a while back, but was concerned that the detector hanging beneath the mirror would block too much vision, so I made my own mount and put the detector up and to the right of the mirror.

Correction:
2005 w/ homelink requires 3/4" bracket (Jedi54 has one)
2006 w/ homelink requires 23mm bracket. (I have one)
SAFEST BET: measure your bracket.
They seem like they are made from home depot but actually are made from aluminum and anodized black. Quality is great and I like it a lot.

My Valentine1 comes in tomorrow. Bought it after getting my first ticket. These cars are so hard to drive slow. Does anyone know what size mount is needed for a '07 with just a normal mirror. If not I'll just measure it.

You'll probably want to measure it because Mazda has used both sizes in the car. Jedi has the 3/4" bracket and I needed the 23mm bracket. Better safe than sorry... I had to wait a few days for my replacement bracket and had to spend about 10 bucks for shipping it back/they charge to swap brackets.

Will do. Thanks for the input. Just got my Valentine1 today and already spotted a cop for me. Loving it. Need the bracket though soon since the suction cups don't seem to hold the best.

I used the DYI and vampired off the Homelink wires (I think Jedi did the same).
