Default Radar Dectector mount and question

Hi Folks,
taking a new position that will have me driving on the interstate highway quite a bit - contemplating a radar detector....i currently just run with WAZE alerts.

Anyone have any pics of their mounts? Blendmount? Invisi-mount?

leaning towards the escort set up - as i can also integrate laser shifters (jammers)

I have a blend mount with a mirror wire tap for a Valentine One Gen 2. Not exactly "stealth" but gets the job done. I run it with the JBV1 companion app on my phone - overall a very good warning system when combined with Waze.

I came across some of these newer custom systems the other day (like the Escort), dang they hide well. Here's another: https://radenso.com/products/radenso...te-edition-2-0

Have Valentine one, Uniden R7 and Escort 360. Wife loves the Valentine and I am ambivalent about which one to use. All three are remarkable in spotting radar, and when combined with Waze, near perfect. Both the Valentine and Uniden are mounted up high next to the mirror with Scotch brand white Velcro. Easy to switch between the two and have never had one fall down from the windshield. The Escort is three times as heavy and has its own suction mount. I have mirror taps in every car.

only issue is with the very cheap ones. The wires inside are a bit fragile and easily broken when pinched. I buy mine on Amazon and have trouble only once when the console cover pinched the wire on install. My error completely.
