Most people mount a radar detector under the mirror and use a special tap to access the power behind the mirror:

Yes, here is how my Texas inspection goes in San Antonio. Drive up to the local Take Five oil change place (no appointment). Tell them I’m here for inspection and given my low front splitter I don’t even drive in the bay. They have me demo lights, horn, washer fluid and pay my $7. Five minutes later I’m on my way home!

thanks. I've been living with the suction cup thing, too on my entry level uniden. the mount costs as much as the detector! LOL but it is a good setup. Previously obtained that power wire hootus, too, yet installed.

Blendmount is ridiculously priced. Here is a link to the mount and tap for a Uniden that I used for less than $50.

Which one is this? I’m considering the R9 when it’s available after I see some reviews. The only issue is there is always something better coming out. It’s a lot easier to cough up $600-$800 every couple years VS several K.
