At the point where i need to buy one.. Hard wired or re-charge able ?? Might be moving it to my Porsche on occasion, but can still wire it with a connector so not worried about the wiring..

Hard wired IMO, if you can go that route.

I've owned three. Two battery and now a hard wire. Hardwire with a connector is the only way I roll now.

You might also think about wiring in an indicator light on your dash that shows the transponder circuit is powered - makes it easy to check before going out for a session...

The transponder draws less power than the clock or radio memory. Just hardwire it into the car and leave it on all the time.

Way to go. The transponder is a super easy install behind the left front wheel, running the wire up in the engine compartment using the "blue plug" that you use for your timing light ;-)

NecksGen is also nice IMHO, I have the DefNder and they clearly improved on the ability to turn your head more freely!
