It would appear I am the odd man out. I use the suction cup mount that came with my V1. Been using it since 2009 with occasional replacements of the suction cups. If you clean your window well and clean the suction cups you should have no problems, I don't.
I use a Blendmount attached to the rear view mirror. You can also "tap" into the backside of the mirror's connector for power with their wiretap. Sits up there nicely and works like a champ. Spendy for sure, but they are worth it. I also have one in my DD truck, that's how much I like them.
Note: I am not affiliated with them in any way and the image is not mine.
I have one in my GS and the wife in her 2014 Suburban, both with the power tap. Plug-n-play and works seamlessly. Expensive, but worth it in my opinion.
I have a permanent visor mount. Screws on to the inboard passenger visor screw. Up high and does not block my view. V1 is hard wired with all wires hidden under windshield trim and tied into Dashtronics projector. All info is displayed in the HUD, V1 is blacked out. Love this set up.

by the time it detects it, you've already been clocked at your speed???
Am i missing something?
Yes they work, when a cop/chp is using radar the Escort detector can spot the signal asap. Now when they are parked using laser that's another story. The laser isn't detected like a radar signal, the radar being a very broad signal. The laser is very hard to detect even though these smaller detectors can detect them they are not a 100% fool proof. I've owned 3 detectors a V1 which is a solid detector but gives false signals, then my second one is an oldie but goodie I use in my daily driver it's a Escort 9500ix. The Escorts are great because they are gps tracked which give 99% accurate detection verses picking up your local convenience store door radar. Now I use the Escort passport max in my C6 which is an awesome little device.
I use the fancy suction cup mount that came with my Escort, not talking about the cheap little double clear suction cup mount, and a mirror power tap. I have it mounted high so all I can see under the mirror is the face. It doesn't obstruct my view at all. I thought about the blen mount but wasn't willing to spend the money for that
Are you talking about this one? I see you can also use the StickyCup, which one do you use?
I have the cheap one that came with the 9500ix, I have it fastened to the mirror mount with a black shoelace so when it comes loose it doesn't fall into the dash, a real PIA. I was thinking about one (actually 2) of these, do they work well? Have they ever come loose? They look well made and a lot cheaper then the Blendmount...thanks!
I use the permanent mount that screws into the visor mount. Keeps the V1 high on the windshield. I also use the remote display, which blacks out the V! and keeps the mute button close to your left hand. It is velcroed to a block of wood, which is velcroed to the dash.

I've found this to be true. I also use the suction cups (too lazy I guess to mount something else). But, I position the detector usually in the lower left side of the windshield, closest to me. Not very low, about 1/3 up and as close as possible to the A pillar. Works for me in both cars.
The new suction cup that Escort sells works great. (Escort Sticky Cup) I can hardly get mine off even when I want to remove it. It will never fall off.
I didn't like the older ones that used 2 or 3 smaller suction cups. This newer model has 1 large suction cup (VERY STICKY) and is solid as a rock. Plus you can place it wherever you want on the windshield.

I have the Blendmount with both my daily driver and my C6. I've tried other mounts with no sucess, get the Blendmount and forget about it
