Default Escort 360 question

Just got an escort 360. Can anyone direct me to the best vendor for a mirror tap and an unobtrusive mount to get the detector up under the rear view mirror? The smart cord just doesn't work for me.

Thanks!

Went to Amazon for the tap. I use the suction cup, too cheap to buy the blend mount.

Blendmount will cost you $139.00, mirror tap is around $8.00. I have the blendmount but purchased it back in 2015 before their latest price increase. I would Google search for other mounts to see what else is available unless the $139.00 does not bother you.

I'm a fan of the Blendmounts. Pricier than other options, but I like the clean install.

FWIW don't break off mirror tap pins or you may never get it to work again. My blendmount loosened and fell off one day breaking off the mirrortap pins. After that the pins (new) would never go back in. So I swapped to a direct hardware approach.

If you use some locktite on the threads of the screw, the blendmount will stay in place.
