Default Escort 9500ix and Blendmount Package for C7 Corvette Stingray..

Here at SCP we love the Escort 9500ix and we wanted to put a package together to include the 9500ix and also the C7 Corvette Blendmount...

Escort 9500ix and Blendmount Package

C7 Corvette Stingray BlendMount Only



The Escort 9500ix has been one of Escort's most popular radar detectors ever made, and with great reason! With this knowledge in hand, we here at SouthernCarParts have tried to make the Escort 9500ix as accessible and affordable as possible, and in doing so are proud to offer complete detector packages for the 9500ix. Like our other 9500ix complete package, this package includes the award-winning Escort Radar Detector, but differs in the included goodies. Here, in this BlendMount combination package, you'll receive the one and only BlendMount Radar Detector Mount. The BlendMount for the Escort line of radar detectors utilizes your rear view mirror stem for a very easy, very low-profile installation. Utilizing the BlendMount allows you to hide your 9500ix in plain sight, and install it in just a matter of minutes. Making this installation even easier and more low-profile is the purpose of the BlendMount MirrorTap as well. All of this together makes for one of the most convenient, stylish, and complete radar detector packages on the market that utilizes the class-leading Escort 9500ix and gives your car the best their is in Radar Detection Protection and Style!Escorts latest and greatest invention, the all-new PASSPORT 9500 ix, has revolutionized the radar detector category again. At Escort, they are continually improving their line of radar and laser detectors with the best technology and the Escort 9500ix is indicative of this dedication to improvement. This GPS-powered Escort 9500 ix provides the best long-range protection against every known radar and laser gun in use in North America, and also incorporates GPS accuracy to silence each and every false alert. It is by far the most intelligent, fully automatic radar and laser detector ever designed. You drive. It learns. End of story.

Likewise it has been established one cannot take power from the mirror wiring itself (unfortunately)

In fact, there's one just down the page from this thread

Just placed an order for the BlendMount. $22 cheaper here using the discount code than ordering direct from BlendMount. Good deal.

I asked Blend mount and was told that mirror tap would NOT be making a wire for the C-7. They suggested running the wire down to the OBD plug. Not my idea of a sound solution.

Yep. For those of us who have a '14, the blend mount doesn't sound like a very good solution, unlike the the c6 version. IMO, GM fell down on this, not providing a power tap to run the RD via the mirror.

I'd rather run the traditional coil up to the RD mounted low on the dash than gerry-rig the wires under the trim to somewhere in the dash.

[QUOTE=southerncarparts;1586795084]Here at SCP we love the Escort 9500ix and we wanted to put a package together to include the 9500ix and also the C7 Corvette Blendmount...



Does anyone know if this setup will still work in a 2015 with the performance data recorder? My understanding is that the camera lens is behind the mirror. Will the mount interfere?

I would be interested as well as I have a 2015 on order. I would also like to know if customers are getting a good GPS signal from the 9500xi using the blend mount.

Mirror tap now shows a model for the C7. Why not use it?

That's a Passport Max in Pics and on 9500 does it block the GPS?
