What radar detector mount do you have?

Does anyone use anything other than the factory mount? I am wanting to mount my V1 to mirror and wire it to the power in the mirror.

What do you have? Pics would be helpful!

I have the StickyCup for my 9500ix (available on Amazon - not sure if it has same connection as V1). I think it works pretty well. Still a little shake / vibration but much better than what came with the detector. I'm considering a Blendmount but not sure it's worth the investment since it is car- and detector-specific and I have a lease / expect I'll upgrade detector to Max at some point. So haven't bought one yet.

BlendMount wired directly to fuse box, looks OEM.

Did you power it through the mirror? If so did you get the cord from Valentine? Or escort etc?

And related to that....if you get a blended mount, don't you have a cord hanging down from the mirror? I'm not interested in hard wiring anything....so, would a blended mount do anything for me if I don't want a cord hanging down the full height of my windshield?

Blendmount is the mount so you can use it with hardwiring or hanging cord. To avoid hanging cord you need to hardwire. Mount and power are two different things.
