No easy power supply for mirror mount can't use mirror wire at all wrong amps,need to go to fuse #37 many write-up's on this.

I checked on this mount and they said it would not work on my c7. How did you make it work?

Geeez, I am sorry about that! I have it on my Expedition and Gallardo. It is a generic mount so I am not sure how it could not work but I am sure they would know. Here is the link to the company that makes the mirror mount specifically for the C7:

I have one of their visor mounts in my C6. Love it since it conceals my Valentine One but still provides excellent range!

With the incorrect power on the mirror,will just velcro to the dash,till someone finds a "easy" wire solution without taking the dash or anything big apart.Yes i hate wire to show but no way will i have someone take the dash apart.

Just take a credit card and push the wire up under the panel that runs from the dash to the roof. Then, use the credit card to push the wire back inside the headliner where the roof meets the windshield. Easy peasy!

I have the mirror mount in my C7 and it works fine. It doesn't fit flush against the mirror like the blendmount but since there isn't a blendmount available for the C7 yet it will have to do.

Sorry. I should have mentioned I have the mirror mount for Valentine 1. I think the way it attaches to the mirror is the same. wiring is tucked into the trim around the windshield.

I understand that, but where did you get power from? Did you run it to the rear fuse panel like many others have? Thanks

I have the Savvy attachment which uses the onboard diagnostic port.
