Default Anybody doing Blendmount with Escort Redline 360C?

I really like the Escort Redline 360 C radar detector but wonder how it will look with a Blendmount in my incoming 2023 Turbo S. If anybody has this combo, could they please post a couple of pics and give me their impressions. Is it too big a unit for the Blendmount or no? I would like to go custom install w radenso/ALP setup at some point but wonder how my existing radar detector will work in this car in the meantime. TIA.

Blendmount + Redline 360C works well on my Turbo S. Up to you whether you would be bothered by its placement there, I am not, and I like having it close to mute or mark locations. Sometimes it's my unofficial speedometer if my eyeline is in the area already and I don't want to look at the gauge cluster.

I'm currently in the office, but I'll try to grab a picture while sitting in the driver's seat so you can appreciate that perspective as well.

Thanks. That really doesn't look that big and intrusive to me. I will give it a go. Did you do hardwire or mirror tap?

In my Tesla I have a redline 360 just left of the rear view mirror. I think that is the perfect spot. In my TTS I have the built in Redline. If you plan to keep the car it is worth it.

Mine is blendmount with a mirror tap. Easy to install on my part.

I have the Escort Redline 360c and M2 cam using the suction mount that comes with the unit. Works great and allows me to move it around or unmount depending on my driving situation.

I second this! Have the 360c and use the suction mount. It was a little bit of a pain to plug it into the power port on the passenger side footwell, but I ended up buying another one for my daily and leave the escort plugged in all the time in the TTS.

Best radar detector period!

I ended up with using suction cups as well with a V1 -- my history with BlendMount, while initially good, ended up being a problem - it was probably related to the build quality of the Corvette (2015 z06) - the BlendMount slowly but surely shook the mirror (due to bumpy roads etc) and mirror mount beyond reasonable, to the point that the mirror was ridiculously loose - Mr GoodWrench was frustrated (didn't take much to do that)

The way to go IMO. Super stealth.

Does this video, starting at the 6:20 mark, illustrate how you hooked up you mirror tap? I assume you did it as a switched install. Thanks.

wow your install of your Blendmount looks more centered than mine. Could you take a couple of close up pics of it so I can see how you did yours please? thanks.
