Has anyone used the "blendmount" system in a 928S4?

But the bleedmount doesn't work with our mirrors or with the escorts.

I noticed 928's weren't mentioned on their site. I was hoping that one of their other ones may work though.

Changing rear view mirrors all together is an option though, I suppose. I love their design...

I have the blend mount on my DD and love it. Am in the process of changing my mirror in the 928 to a Gentex and will be adding the blend mount.

A blend mount wont work with my Escort 9500CI.

However there may be something in the near future that will compensate for the lack of of a mount.

I would love a couple of these actually! Love the idea... Just need to know what might fit and what to buy. I bet if you measured the diameter of the stem and its length they could tell you if they make something that would fit...

You can see it to the right of the pod:

I don't know about having the detector down on the dash, I think it needs to be as high as possible and have the best range. When a cop looks in my 928 there is no way he can see my detector above the mirror.

I use stock valentine suction cups and just route my wire to the fuse box via the door panel and my detector has never fallen.

At the moment;

I use the suction cup of an older model GPS that I had laying around and added a tray to it to hold the V1 it pick up signals just as well and is easy to remove or install and never falls down.

I may reroute the wire but haven't made up my mind yet.

Yes it will. just requires very slight modification - actually, now that I think about it, I think they offer a model for the 9500, but I was able to easily adapt my V1 mount to accept the 9500.

Your right hand might work...
