They may be. They sent me this offer too.

Does anyone have experience with this type of mount, more specifically, can the added weight of the 9500 to the mirror increase the chances of the mirror's mount becoming dislodged?

I have this mount for my 9500ix on my lexus gx470 and it works great... definitely no issues like "pulling the mirror off"

These are the guys who started it all. They should receive the real credit for the mirror design. They aren't the cheapest or the best... but I'm pretty sure they were first to market.

I considered them but went with the rogue instead. google rogueradarmount
it was cheaper but pretty much the same thing. Google blendmount vs rogue and there was a pretty good comparison review by a person who had both on another forum.
He basically said the blendmount was a better finished product but more money.
My rogue has been fine and it came with the direct wire included in the price which I connected directly to the power on my rear view mirror. The only thing I didn't like was the direct wire from rogue did not have the inline fuse it is just straight wired.
But I don't believe the blendmount comes with a direct wire it is another $30 extra but does have an inline fuse.
The rogue as the other review mentions is also a bit tight to slide the radar on and off due to thickness from the powder coating. I gave mine a couple strokes with a finishing file and it is fine now.

Either one is a good call.

You no longer deal with:
- your detector chattering away on your windshield as you drive
- it sagging
- it falling off
- if you do it right it all becomes self-contained at your mirror so no extra cords running across your dash
- I think it makes it look less-visible (at least in my car) because people are normally looking for something sucking up against the windshield.

I like the mount, but their pigtail power connector is a joke. I run into new false alerts pretty frequently and it's easy to lock them out with the Smartcord plugged into the console cigarette lighter. With their pigtail mount, you have to reach up and feel around for the lockout and/or mute buttons which would be annoying, especially for a long, constant-on radar encounter. So, if I were to get this mount, I'd have to fork out another $30.00 for a hard-wire cord which puts me at around $120.00 including shipping. Or, I could just leave the dang suction bracket on my windshield and forget about it.
