Default Best mounts for Escort Max 360
My lovely wife just bought me an Escort Max 360 for the holidays, looking for best mounting options that will hide wires.

Thanks

It comes with a nice magnetic window mount, but I went with the Blendmount.

Make sure you get the correct Blendmount as there are different mounts for the Escort 360 (BMX-2027) vs. the Escort 360c (BMG-2027).

Used Blendmount on my 2014 Stingray and now my 18 Grand Sport, both I also used the Mirror Tap. Works so well, I use Blend mount in my truck also with a mirror tap.

Thanks guys just tried using the mount it came with and the chord is not long enough for my audi. Will have to get two mirrortaps, one for audi and one for the Vette

Is having the data recorder set up required for direct wire mounting?

No. Direct-wired my 2014 (data recorder wasnt even an option then) -- no problem.

Oh, and another vote for BlendMount.

If anyone wants one, let me know. I like the suction mount better and would sell my blendmount for $75.

You park your car in the hot sun and that suction cup mount detaches from the windshield. The MAX 360 is one heavy **** so there is a lot of strain on the wire and plug.

Default radar Mount
Radar Mount Company has almost the same mirror mount as Blendmount for 1/3 the price.
