This is my '06 with a V1, 8" Invisicord and the Great Lakes Trophies mirror mount. Works great.

My Escort is mounted in the same place using what appear to be the same style mount. I purchased mine from WCC. Works great. Oh and invisicord is about the neatest, simplest, oh-why-didn't-I-think-of-that product I have ever seen. Works great!

Good luck!

Here are some pics of my mount.

From the outside, it looks nice:


Here is from the passenger:



And, most importantly, from the drivers seat:

If you look at Komoman's pic, mine (V1) is mounted just to the right of the "dots" at the top of the windshield...

I just used the standard suction cups and I hardwired (this was before invisacord...)

LOL, thanks! That is funny, right up there with a testimony from a customer about year ago who compared the Invisicord to sliced bread.

where would one obtain such a mount?

ALso, now that I see all the modernized C5 mirrors, Hrmm, I wonder if I can wire one into my C4, move the temp sensor up to the mirror and call it a day

I got my mount from West Coast Corvette. THey have them for both the Passport and the Valentine 1. I beleive the Passport version would also work with many other detectors...my old Whistler used the same spade-style mount, for example.
