I have an Escort Passport 9500ix already but I need a rear view mirror mount for it. However, I'm looking at the mount for the escort radar that's included in the bundle vs. the escort radar mount by itself and the top portion of the mount looks to be different. How do I know which one I need to get?

For the C6, they are the same mounts. Maybe some differences in the picture, but they are the same.

The mount you need for your car and detector is here...

Corvette C6 Blendmount

just choose Valentine or Escort at the bottom of the page....

Thanks,

Jim

Default Blendmount

I just bought my car and am interested in the package. I wanted to ask how does the blendmount mirror tap work? Is there a plug in the mirror or do you have to tap into wires?

Also, how do you know which mirror you have?

Thank you,
-Bob George

Hi Bob,

The mirror tap plugs into the back of the plug that goes into the back of your mirror. There is not a plug on it, but rather pins that slip into the back of the OEM plug. No splicing or anything like that and does not make any permanent mods to the car at all.

You have the auto rear dimming mirror (which is what most all C6's have) if you have the button at the bottom of the mirror that turns the dimming feature on and off. I believe it is right on the bottom middle of the mirror.

Thanks,

Jim

The Blendmount? Not sure what you are asking? The Blendmount fastens to the rearview mirror, no tape used at all. It is kind of a compression fit between the windshield and the Mirror, really ingenius and hard to explain in words. Anyone that was one will tell you it is excellent solution and does not modify your vehicle in anyway and looks OEM.

I just joined the forum. This is one of the first mods I did and it was simple and looks very clean. Also very sturdy. With the suction cup mount I was unhappy with the rattling sounds and also it came off twice when I hit 2nd gear hard. Down side of the c6 blend mount for me is the auto intensity sensor on the ix does not work because it always thinks it dark.

The 9500ix has saved me a ton! What is does beside's radar detection is it gives you driver awareness. NO surprize's you know if your tagged or not.
I noticed they have about as much range as my built in Escort unit in the ZR1!

I have a question about the escort live...
How does it work if you plug in to your mirror for power?
Do you have to use the escort live power plug?
That is a feature that I would like to have for sure.

We've been selling them for a little over a month now, and they're being as well received as the 9500ix. With that in mind, they seemed like a perfect match, so here it is, a BlendMount/Escort 9500ix package deal.



By ordering these items together in this bundle you're getting both of them at less than the MSRP cost of the Escort Passport 9500ix alone, and at $20 less than if you purchased them separately on our already discounted website! What you're getting, at those great prices, is one of the best radar and laser detectors on the market anywhere, and the perfect companion piece for it to give it a great, low-profile, easy installation.

Every single employee here at SouthernCarParts uses the 9500ix, and a lot of us have started moving towards using the BlendMount as well. If that's not a glowing recommendation for these products, I don't know what is!

Do they make a mirror mount for the 2014?
