Radar detector mount?

Has anyone found a nice radar detector mounting option other than a traditional mount on the windshield? There doesn't appear to be any exposed stalk on the rearview mirror for a mount there.

Running a Uniden R3 tucked up high to left of mirror in wife’s GLS ( same placement as GLE) and fits perfectly with visor up or down. Hardwired to the fuse box under the rear seat. Using the small suction cup mount for now as we need to get the windshield replaced and i will put a tint strip at the top of the window to use a smaller permanent mount with 3m tape.

Would you mind sharing which fuse you taped into for ignition power on the GLS, perhaps a picture? I am trying to hardwire the radar detector on my wife's GLS and all the power in the mirror housing is constant.

Thank you!!!

I found this to help with fuses. Scroll down the page and it lists what fuses are under the rear seat.
