Product Description
When we designed the BlendMount for the Beltronics or Escort (Passport) Radar Detector (RD), quality and adjustability were our main objectives. We wanted to utilize the dead space between the back of the mirror and the windshield. With the multiple adjustments we designed, the perfect RD placement can be achieved. Even before receiving your BlendMount, first Adjustment is to reposition your Mirror Stem so it is perpendicular to your Windshield by using the Windshield Pivot at the end of your Cylindrical Stem (see pics). Next adjustment is to also reposition the Stem as High as possible using the same Windshield Pivot. Both these adjustments ensure that your RD will point straight out the Windshield, and minimize any View Obstruction. Then simply readjust the Mirror using the Mirror Pivot only, taking care not to disturb the newly acquired Stem Position. Once you receive and install your BlendMount, there are other adjustments that allow the perfect placement of your RD, such as (1) Stem Slide, (2) Hinge Swing, and (3) Vertical Slot (see pics). All these adjustments are clearly described in our Installation Instructions and literally allow for the Perfect Placement of your RD. Get rid of those failing/falling suction cups and Clean Up your windshield !!! Also, check out our MirrorTap Power Cord (Amazon Item# B006074LT8) for your AUTO dimming mirror, or our HardTap Hard Wire Kit (Amazon Item# B0062PO02Q) and say GoodBye to that Cigarette Lighter Cord as well !!!

BlendMount
By LieutenantColumbo
This is a really great mount for people who don't want to attach their radar detector to the front windshield with suction cups. The mount is very adjustable but you probably need to be able to keep the portion of the mirror stem that this connects to pointed directly down the center of the car to give the best coverage (up and down angle is not important, but side to side angle keeps your detector from pointing too far left or right). They may want to add a swivel in future designs to make sure its compatible with all cars and peoples' angle preferences for their mirrors. My mirror is adjustable enough so that this was a non issue for me.
The mount is very sturdy and stable. I added a small piece of Velcro under my mirror and on top of the radar detector though because I have pretty stiff after market springs and bad roads, so sometimes the detector would tap against the bottom of the mirror going over pot holes. For those with a normal suspension, this should be a non issue as well. After spending several hundred dollars on a radar detector, this is a worthwhile investment to keep your detector inconspicuous and prevent if from falling off the windshield.
This is a very well constructed product "blends" right in with the car for an OEM look. If you have mirror that is self dimming or has a compass I recommend pairing this with product like InvisiCord (taps into your mirror to power the detector) to eliminate any power cords hanging down from the window. Overall I am very pleased with the form and function of this product, and recommend it to anyone who wants a nice clean sturdy installation.

EXCELLENT mount! I installed this in a 2006 G35 Sedan without any problems at all and it looks like it belongs. For a regular Joe/Jane, this mount will work just fine.
As for it being an old mount that could be made in a machine shop 20 years ago--well, that is under a pretty BIG assumption that everyone can machine parts or has the time to find a shop that would do such a small job for you (at a similar price) umm.... yeah... good luck!

I've posted some pics of the installed mount on a real vehicle. It looks great and matches nicely to the car. The installation was easy. The most difficult part was to make sure the stem of the mirror was perpendicular to the car. Came with all necessary tools and cleaning pad. Very good service and communication. I received the mount only a couple of days after the order. They emailed me before sending the mount to make sure they send the best mount for the install. I've repositioned the detector since I last took the pictures. The detector is now completely flushed against the mirror. The bottom of the mirror helps stabilize the detector. I feel that it's better this way because now there's no vibration or bounce to the detector.
