Good, Cheap Radar Detector Mirror Mount?

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good, cheap radar detector mirror mount for the Escort Passport Max?

I ordered this one and unfortunately it ended up not being compatible. https://radarmount.com/collections/m...oducts/3001002

I obviously know about BlendMount, but $130 for a mount just seems crazy to me. No? That's half the price I paid for the Escort Passport Max...

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Does it even clamps on to the mirror stem?

It simply just isn't compatible. Fitment is completely off. Plus the "wire tap" they give you has too large a connector for a mirror install. Still suction cupped right now.

I'm looking into making my own 3D printed... $130 for a BlendMount just ain't right. Stay tuned

I actually found one that you might be interested, but I still think its a bit too much, especially when they charge so much for shipping. So you gotta get the BMW mirror tap.

If you are going to 3D print one, please let me know, im interested.

I actually prefer the double sided tape ones. Allows me to tuck the rd high up behind the tinted area of the windshield where it's not very visible. Only $12...

I thought about getting this one too, but will it bent over time due to vibration. Also will it lower the rear performance since it's located high up to the roof and the radar rear sensor is not directly facing the rear window.

Mines been up for a while and has not bent. In fact it never vibrates and is pretty sturdy. Direct line of sight not with rear window doesn't seem like big deal like as it is with laser. Worst case you bring it down/up.
