Escort Radar Mounts

Has anyone found a mirror mount for any Escort radars (particularly 9500xi) or know of a good solution besides the suction cup method? Thanks

I bought one of these on amazon and it works great. This way I can mount the detector up inline with the pass through of the acoustic glass just to the right of the rear view mirror. If you have the acoustic glass package mounting the detector just under the mirror is not going to work as there is no pass through there, if you don't have acoustic glass that would be ok. I then ran the power up to the detector with a wire coming from the fuse box on the right to the passenger side so the wire is pretty much invisible. I use a Escort S75 in one of my Benz's and a Radenso Pro in my Benz wagon.

Not sure if you would want to go this far or not, but Radar-Mirror may have a system for you. I ended up getting a Radenso RCM system installed under the numbers and they cut out a discreet display in my rear view mirror for the detector so nothing is visible in my car.

That will fit the Radenso Pro? It doesn't look like it from the pics.

Not sure but they might have a creative solution to do it. Google Radar-Mirror and it should come up and they had a lot of different solutions. I think with the Radenso Pro the rear view mount might work best though.

Radar-mirror doesn't even list Radenso on their site. Google shows they have done a mirror for the RCM but not the Pro.

What about the acoustic glass though in the way if mounted from the mirror?

Okay, I was hoping for you that they could. Yeah, I am one of the RCMs that they did. If you really wanted it though, I would think they could do it, you might just have to talk to them directly and find a place that would be willing run the wiring so it could be more hassle than it's worth.

Sadly blendmount doesn't list any mounts for Mercedes, other than the sprinter.

If I were going ultimate (RCM) I'd be set. I agree that rewiring for a Pro wouldn't be worth the hassle.

For approx 30 yrs I have mounted Escort/Valentine on my drivers sun visor. It always works great & is out of sight from anyone not in the car. Hardwiring is easy & mfg supplies the mount.

I have this same radar detector and used the mount from blendmounts out of my 2014 Cadillac CTS. Works great.

Could you post a picture? The lack of a MB mount from blendmount has been a big bummer.

Thanks! For some reason Blendmount has a huge black hole in their product line when it comes to MB.
For wiring look at this post:
