Product Description

Directly from our "car mount labs" comes the best radar detector car mount on the market. This is especially usefuly for states like California where windshield mount are illegal! Why do we think this is the best? Firstly, we have combined our heavy duty suction mount system with a mounting plate. The suction is rated to hold 20 pounds. We use this suction system to hold devices such as GPS, satellite radios, PDAs and iPods (check our store if you need accessories for these devices). Once it is attached to your windshield, it isn't coming down unless you want it to by pressing on the suction release. Secondly, the angle of the mounting plate can be adjusted up and down. Your device attaches to the mounting plate with a heavy duty velcro strip which we provide. It really looks great as you can see in the pictures. The cops will envy you when they see your car with this mount in the parking lot (ok, maybe not). Thirdly, and this is the best part, we include a dash plate with double sided tape so that the suction can adhere to your dash. We'll bet you can't do that with the mount the manufacturer included in the box!

A must for CA Residents
In California, it is illegal to have anything mounted to your windshield. GPS, Radar Detectors, etc. If an Officer feels inclined to, he can actually pull you over and ticket you for a windshield mounted device.

I have an Escort Passport 9500ix. I was using the windshield mount it came with. However, I noticed that it was rubbing up against my windshield when I drove and (I'm sure) in part to the dual 12's in the back. It was evident that continual use of the supplied windshield mount would eventually lead to a damaged windshield.

This dash mount is working great. It holds my radar detector perfectly still away from the windshield, while obeying one of CA's many ridiculous laws. Plus, it elevates the radar detector to the perfect spot in order to detect laser without jeopardizing radar detection.

Much better!
I have a Passport 9500 radar detector. The windshield mount that comes with the unit is small and flimsy...keeps falling off the windshield. I purchased this radar detector mount, and use it on my dashboard. It came with everything needed to install. It is great! Not only do I need not worry about the detector falling off the windshield anymore, the use of the mounting plate lets me remove the detector easily when I need to (for example, parking in parking lots, out in the hot sun, or on short car trips). Besides the dash mount, you always have the option to use this mount on the windshield. Windshield mounting with this mount would certainly be better than the factory supplied mount, as it has a much bigger and deeper "cup" so it would probably hold better to the glass.

Don't forget to clean the sticky surface...
I used this item to mount my radar detector onto my windshield, since I didn't want to risk ruining my dash surface at all. The item itself is pretty sturdy. However, since I forgot to wipe the mounting plate with the alcohol wipe (provided) before attaching the Velcro piece and not waiting long enough (the whole 24 hrs or more) before using it, the Velcro already started rubbing off the plate, causing my radar to turn partly sideways. Simply put, it lost its grip (of the radar). On the other hand, the suction on the glass is outstanding! You sure don't have to worry about it falling off the windshield.

So I ended having to remove the Velcro and as much of the adhesive goo off the plate (with steam from a boiling pot) as I could, cleaned it real good with alcohol, reattached a new Velcro piece, and waited more than a day before using it again. The hold still doesn't seem that perfect; within days my radar was already slowly starting to turn sideways again. It'd be great if only the Velcro were as strong as the suction cup is on the glass. If you do it right the first time, maybe you'll have better luck than I did.
