Default Check out this radar detector mount

Came across this the other day, it's a mirror mount for the Valentine 1 and Escort that clamps around the mirror post, so it's sturdy and will not fall like the stick-on mirror mounts. Also, since it's mounted to the post and not the mirror, it should be more of a straight on line of sight for the detector.

Sure the website if for 350Z's, but they make a plain mount for all cars at the bottom of the page.

Does anyone know the diameter of the mirror post for the C6 or any other model, and do you think this will work for us?

I just checked my C6 that has onstar/nav, and it won't work for me. Might work for other C6 owners who don't have the Onstar/nav though...

Looks cool, do you think the shifter-illumination light would be blocked by the detector?
