Escort radar mirror mount suggestion?
I’m frustrated with my suction cup windshield mount for my Escort passport 9500IX radar detector and looking for a rear view mirror mount that is compatible with the ZL1 (although I would guess that all the latest generation Camaros have the same mirror).
Has anyone found a mount that doesn’t look “clunky” and seems to function well? In the research I’ve done, most mounts don’t have any fitment guides and obviously with all the variables from one car to another, some mounts will work much better on some than others. I would like to avoid ordering one before knowing it will work, so any input by those who have been down that road would be appreciated! Thanks in advance. |

Also have the Blendmount from my C7 Corvette that also worked in the Camaro. Unfortunately the Mirror Tap harness was not compatible between the two, but that was a cheap piece.

I wouldn't imagine, since it goes below the mirror and the cam is above. But I will find out soon
