This radar detector mount mounts from the post on the rear view mirror and attaches to the piece that would normally hold the suction cups. Just remove the suction cups and mount it from behind like I did. I'm trying to get some kind of group deal going with the maker of this mount. It technically fits the Escort 8500. I have the Bel 980 and fits fine, I just used 2 out of the 3 mounting screws to mount it. Other than that, it fits like a glove.

once I get some info on a GD I'll post it.

check out the pics....

 

hey bro im been looking for one of these where and how much?

-J

 

Dave always gets the cool stuff before me.

play with any new Eclipse HUs yet?

--Don

 

No, but I've seen them around. I've been out of the car audio business for about a year.

 

This guy had some custom made. I just sent him an email to see how he wants to deal on more of them.

 

another angle on a 350Z (same mount)

 

do you think there's one available for 4th gens?

 

Wow, looks awesome, I've got a 980 as well and would most likely be interested in this. Keep us posted!

 

check your pm's

 

Hey Dave...hook a brotha up. Maybe Ill avoid using a SR7 and stick with the 8500 afterall. Aside from that, Im too lazy to install it on my car.

 

I'd def be in if you got this going.

 

check your pm's

 

hey dave-I just dont understand why ppl mount their radar detectors up there?? In NY i've noticed alot more false signals going off with the detector mounted up that high.

I found that velcroing it to the top of the clock yields best results/least false signals but that mount is cool tho

 

I think that when it is up higher it has a greater range. I would rather have a few false signals than have it miss a real one.

 

agreed aside from that, down low is where the wipers start to affect it.

--Don

 

up high but below the tint line is the best overall spot. Down low is probably killing your rear signal as well

 

I will take different pics tomorrow

 

For those that have purchased them thru my friend, please post pics of it. I want to get a feel how you guys like these. Post comments and suggestions please. I'm currently talking to a plastics manufacter down in San Diego to make these. Hopefully I can make them in certain sizes to fit all Maxima gens.

Thanks guys....and gals.

 

I just got my hardwire kit for my 8500 in the mail today. As soon as I get my new rear view mirror , Dave and I might be setting up a GD on these......we shall keep you guys posted !

 

I am interested but I am forth gen. Will it fit?

 

Still waiting to hear back from him - will definitely post pics, can't wait to get it, thanks again!

 

No, this one only fits the 5th gen mirror. The 4th gen is different and won't fit.

 

If you have a rear view mirror that is mounted only to your windshield and the post is round, it will fit.

 

If it fits a 4th gen, I'm interested!

 

I am also interested in one of these for te 4th gen model.

 

Curious, on how does the detector mount to the bracket? Is it easily removable or you have to use screws?

 

It does not fit a 4th gen....

there is an insert at the bottom of the mount that the radar mount slides into and screws down. Take a closer look at the pic you can pretty much figure out how it is put together

 

ahh ok i see how it mounts now. ahh man doesn't fit a 4th gen. oh well

 

Maybe one will be made in the future.

 

If I had a 4th gen near me I could check it out and make something different in the future. I want to test out the one for the 5th gens first.

 

picture of the mount...

 

Dave,

Still haven't heard from your man with the custom radar mount after two emails (though he may be on vacation, etc), if you happen to speak with him please tell him to contact me! (He can PM me via the board here or hit me with a PM and I'll give my email address).

Thanks again, I appreciate it!

 

I will be producing these myself soon (Dont tell the seller this please )so for those that haven't ordered them yet be patient and I will sell them to anybody here that wants them.

His computer is at work and doesn't work on the weekends. Give it a few days. If not pm me. I'll keep on top of it

 

here is a pic of the mount

 

I would consider it...but I dont know how much longer my rear-view will be staying in place
