Vince1128, nope, not even close. Carguy - I agree with you, the radar detector looks factory installed because it fits perferctly in the console like one would expect from a factory installation and I do not have any loose wires, anywhere. If you look at the interior pic above, you can see the knob in the pic because it is right next tot he gear shift knob and then right below it is another switch (which I have not figured out just yet) which I think controls which radar is used. I had a F mechanic look at the car over the weekend and he gave me the thumbs up and kept telling how nice this TR is and it was well maintained (another fellow mechanic believes this TR was never driven in the rain).
