BlendMount Kit radar mount
Has anyone ever used one of these on any of their cars? Not available just yet for C6 but soon?

Looks like it would solve the problem some have had with their detectors falling off the mirror when using a stick-on mount.
I would be curious to know how robust the hardware is and if the detector would shake.

I got the one from Southern Car Parts http://www.southerncarparts.com/esco...unt-p-614.html
I am not very impressed with this one. I am in the process of modifying it to be a bit more user friendly. It does not allow very easy access to the buttons on the top, and it allows absolutely no access to the mounting button so you cannot mount the detector properly, and yes I have had it fall off the mount on occasion.

Yep. Just installed one for the Escort 9500IX on the bride's CTS. Really like it, the mount is 'robust' and very stable, and all of the buttons mounted on top of the 9500 are easily accessible. I previously had the 'Stationary Z' bracket from another vendor, but the Blendmount is far better and easily adjustable for many configurations. I am waiting for the their bracket for the C6. Hopefully they will be releasing it soon.

I'm in the process of modifying the mount that I got (http://www.southerncarparts.com/esco...unt-p-614.html) My goals are to be able to get to the buttons, both the functional buttons on the top/front and the mounting button on the top/rearish.
Any takers once I get a design down?
