BlendMount Mounting System Review
Don’t you just hate those plastic suction cup mounts that come with most radar detectors?
In just weeks after installing your detector they dry out from the sun and become totally worthless in keeping your detector firmly mounted.
And then to make matters even worse, some states like California and Minnesota have laws that prohibit you from mounting a radar detector or anything else for that matter to your windshield?
The BlendMount is a unique mounting system that allows you to securely attach your radar detector to your rear view mirror.
It’s made of lightweight aluminum, installs in only minutes and is fully adjustable.
Video Review of BlendMount – 1:53
When you receive your Blend Mount it will come with everything you need for a fast and simple install including an instruction sheet, zip ties and installation tool.
And as an extra bonus you can also order their mirror tap that simply taps into the rear of your rear view mirror’s wiring harness supplying you with all the juice you need to power your radar detector.
The Blend Mount is available for Beltronics, Escort and Valentine 1 radar detectors and they have models for most American and domestic vehicles.

Frequently Ask Questions about the BlendMount Radar Detector Mounting System
- How difficult it the BlendMount to install? Typical installations will take 3 to 5 minutes for the mount. I would suggest having someone help holding the mount in place during your install, as it will go a lot faster.
- How easy is it to attach and remove the radar detector from the mount? Very easy, takes just a few seconds by pressing a section of the mount. One word of caution however. The BlendMount does come with stick-on rubber pieces to attach to your mount that will make your detector easier to remove when the mount becomes hot from the sun. I would recommend that you use these stick-on pieces.
Potential Issues with the BlendMount
- The only issue once you begin using this mount is that you will NEVER go back to those cheap suction cups again! This is an awesome mounting system!
My Bottom Line Recommendation for the BlendMount
Based upon 20-year career in law enforcement and 20 years in the speed counter measurement industry I would rank the BlendMount is the best mounting system ever made for your car or truck!

I was told by a California Highway Patrol Officer that the only objection to mounting anything on the windshield was it could NOT be located at the bottom center but could be mounted on the lower right or left corner of the windshield
the law was changed to fit the above description 2 years ago, before nothing on windshield, now not in viewing area so off right or off left is ok, this was to accommodate GPS they could care less about making it easy for Radar Detector owners
I have a blend mount for my v1– have never had any cops even in CA say anything about it.
Hi Roy, I love your site, your reviews, etc. My ONLY problem is you should run a SPELL CHECKER before posting anything. The word SUCTION is spelled wrong on this page.
ex.: •The only issue once you begin using this mount is that you will NEVER go back to those cheap succion cups again! This is an awesome mounting system!
But don’t feel bad, I find grammar and spelling errors in the the local Atlanta newspaper.
And $90 for this mount is a bit high. I made a similar mount for my myself a few years ago for a fraction of this cost. If I can’t find a quality product at an inexpensive price, I make my own.
Thanks, will fix it..
in the video is shows it shaking all over the place, just like the suction cup mounts, they all vibrate, mine may not be perfect but I took a pop in style Velcro 3 bucks at radio shack this is the Velcro that is locking plastic on both sides, no fabric, and attached it to the dash, again it may be a bit low but it is solid and no jiggle so I can read it solid, I have done this mounting for over 15 yeas on 5 different cars and 5 different Bel Detectors and never had a problem
I’ve used radar detectors for many years; my first was the shoe-box size ESCORT [30 years ago?]. I have NEVER used suction cup mounts. VELCRO dash mount [$2.79 at AUTOZONE] works fine. I have just tried a new product “MAGIC MOUNTING PAD” from AMAZON. No better than VELCRO but very sticky. I leave my PASSPORT X-50 dash mounted all the time and cover with a ball cap when parked. ONE MILLION [PLUS] MILES AND ZERO TICKETS!
By the way, the X-50 IS THE BEST DETECTOR [for the money] available! AND, NO RANGE LOSS WITH DASH MOUNT! I considered a “RELINE,” HOWEVER, the X-50 is perfect for my needs.
I meant “REDLINE”
I bought a blendmount mount system earlier this year for my Ford XLT ranger. Now I am replacing the Ford with a Jeep Cherokee Latitude. Will the mount I bought to use in the Ford work in my newer jeep? Thanks for your time.
