Radar Detector Mount?

Anybody know good radar detector mount? I like the blend mount kits, but they don't seem to have any for MB... I have an Escort Max360 and a 2017 GLS450.... Would rather not have the cord running down to power, so a decent mount and mirror tap or similar is my preference...

I would normally agree, and have had a number of 9500 and K40s in the past, but since the truck is leased, didn't think it was worth the cost, as I have a max360 already mounted in my other car, so it is easy to swap...

The escort sticky cup is awesome.

I would also like to know how to hardwire the detector in the rear view mirror console. Are there any instructions on how to do it safely?

I have been looking for any how-to's on this, myself. I'm doing a 12 hour road trip up to Salt Lake City this weekend and would really like to get my V1 tapped into the power near the mirror. Does anyone know of a DIY for this?
