This is what the C6 mount looks like...It's absolutely worth the money, the thing is rock solid, and looks like it came stock on the car.

I have the larger suction cut and found that it holds better. No issues with that. As somebody else posted, I also run the wire directly to the fuse box. I tried the cable to the mirror, but that didn't work out so good. The problem I have with the mount, is that sometimes, when I aggressively hit second gear (manual) the detector comes out of the mount. Mind you the bracket is still attached to the glass. Real PINA. Went round and round with Escort on in, sent them by radar detector, and they sent me a new mount. Same problem. Does't lock in solid enough for aggressive driving.

I just hate suction cups on the window,get a visor mount or Blendmount,I personally like the visor mount I have better,because it's higher up and doesn't obstruct the view out in any way.

Agree with you, it is a very good mount.

I've an 8500X50, tried their (GLT's) mirror mount. Loved the concept; but, found over time the attachment would vibrate itself loose. Besides that irritating & detracting flaw I never was comfortable with the knowledge it could easily be viewed by thieves and/or viewed by a LEO during a potential stop, anyway.
The visor mount's completely stable & totally out-of-sight from outside without compromising the detector's range, best of all it was inexpensive compared with the other aftermarket holders.
With the detector wired into the mirror's power pins it has been exactly what I wanted, combined with DashTronics the readout on the HUD comes is really handy whenever the radio's volume is loud, also.

I was wondering........ I bought an Escort 8500X50 radar detector a few weeks ago. When I mounted it to my windshield, the two smaller suction cups didn't seem to be big enough to hold all the weight of the detector. It also came with a larger holder with a suction cup that was about 2 1/2" in diameter. When I hooked the detector up to that one, it really secured it pretty well. But the smaller one just didn't seem to work very well for me. If you use the suction cups to mount yours with, which mount do you use? I think I am going to have to stick with the larger one.
Maybe it's less pliable in the cold?

Get the visor mount. It's great and not noticeable with it under the visor. I leave the top down and you dont see it looking in. Made sure you get the longer cord to attach to the power mirror. I have the 9500x
