The manufacturers of radar detectors ought to design the power imput and the mounting bracket so the unit can be easilly slid in and out without having to manually pull the cord. I used to have a Whistler with the plug port in front, so I fabbed up a bracket to hold the plug in the right position. This allowed the unit to be installed and removed with a single motion. Then, I merely put the detector in my shirt pocket. With open top cars, especially Cobras that can't be locked anyhow, it is really necessary to remove the radar detector when parking the vehicle in public. Being able to remove and insert the radar detector with a single movement is really convenient.
