Thanks for posting this. The detector looks like it's tipped down a bit. Do you have pictures from the side from a bit further away, say 3-4 feet? Just so we can see its angle relative to the mirror.

Wow, your rudeness is beyond answer. If you cannot deal with everything I sent you ............

Avenger6 can stick it. People like that are not worth a reply. Can he be expunged from the board?

I have pictures from further away which are useless...................

I didn't interpret his response as rude, in fact, he even said "thanks", in caps...

yikes...

Using a radar detector frequently leads to....'uneasiness', 'tendency to jump at small distractions', etc. etc. :-)

I found when using mine I was always on alert...for an alert. So I traded the radar detector for cruise control. Much more relaxing. Besides when I really wanted to go fast we were all going in the same direction anyway! Track days!

WHAT?????

I am grateful for the pics you put it up... I said THANKS!!

I asked if you had just used their vehicle selector, or if you had any insight beyond their listing of "911" on their (Blendmount I mean) site.

Please tell me what I did wrong here???!?!?!?!

VERY CONFUSED

Avenger6

OK.... It seems that my further question is the issue here....

WHY I asked it:

On the Blendmount site, their vehicle selector thingy just lists "911" with no reference to model year, mirror type, anything. My suspicion is that they have looked at either a 996 or a 997 when making their deisgn for the "911."

Since there is a wide variety of "911" models, with various mounting designs, I was wondering if just choosing "911" would get the mount you have for your 993, or if you had called them to get the specific differences sorted out.

Sorry if you received my questions wrongly......

I was questioning the correctness of Blendmount and their model listings, NOT YOU!!!!!

Moving on....

I have the V1 hardwired and mounted slightly higher and to the right of the rearview mirror.
I have the remote display (or whatever they call it) wired into the ashtray. I like this setup. The detector is up and out of the way, and not visible to a cop standing above the door (I figure if I do get pulled over, if they don't see a radar detector it gives me a better chance of talking my way out of it).
The ashtray location is easy to see and mute. Its got a big mute button on it rather than hitting the volume control/mute which I accidently and frequently lower the volume of when I do it this way on my other car. The ashtray still flips up closed when I'm not using the unit.

I highly recommend a small mute button installed either on the turn signal or wiper stalk...available on ebay for ~$10-12 and very easy to install.
