Beautiful radar detector mount system

Just got my G37x and couldn't find a good place to mount the radar detector. I came across a beautiful machined aluminum mount that places it directly below your rearview mirror. Pricey at $80 but worth it to me. By the way, If you want a clean install splice a power cord to your rear view mirror's plug. Brown is IGN and black is GND. I got mine off eBay but here is the mfr site:

Just installed mine a few days ago and love it..problem is my V1 goes off sometimes due to the LCD screen and thus have turned off Laser detection.

A year ago I was still driving my 2002 Elantra GT! It was a nice little car. My sis said it didn't project a good image for a successful person. It will make a great first car for my daughter. Briefly considered a BMW, but I always associated them with pretentious poseurs who wouldn't know a push-rod from a fishing-rod. Saw the G37x and it was love at first sight. So, I'm a little behind but getting up to speed on the car. Love the charcoal gray. My only possible regret is not checking out the Infiniti M!

I keep mine clipped to my sun visor. I do not like the fact that with these rearview stem mounts, the radar detector is very visible through the windshield. I just am paranoid about it getting stolen. On the visor (the very end towards the door), it is below the windshield tint yet is not visible when parked. I use a long stealth cord to hardwire it.

Tucker: What brand Radar Detector do you have? The Blendmount clip allows you to remove the detector or must it stay put?

Looks like you're a little late to the party. lol

Mike's mount does the same thing, too. Cheaper and can be purchased through him at My350Z.com

I never leave my V1 on my mount when I get off my car. I take it off and put it away. It's not that hard anyway.

Mine Passport stays on dash all the time and I never missed any radar for many years and on many cars including laser radars. What is the point of all this wires and mounts from top? Detectors are sensitive enough, no needs of this roof mounts.

I have an Escort 8500. It can be easily removed, but that is of course one more thing I don't want to do.
