Different Mounting Brackets

**thrash** · 05-23-2008, 09:03 PM

I have seen the country joy and mike's mount that are available to mount the V1. Are there any other mounts that affix to the rearview mirror that don't hang the V1 beneath the mirror? Maybe to the side or up and a little over? Not sure I am sold on the mount underneath the mirror. I am trying to steer clear of the suction cups, just personal preference. Thanks!

I'm fairly certain you'll like the country joy crafts. Ive had 2 now, 1 for Bel and now the V1. I absolutely love the thing.

Link, please. Could only find an arts and crafts site with that name.

Isn't this mount a bit too "low"? Now the V1 is at the dead center of the windshield. Don't you want it as high as possible?

I have the raised dots mid windshield, so I can't have the V1 in it's optimal center high position. For some this may be too low but I do not think so. I use the concealed display so no visual alerts ever come from it. It's not as low as it appears and blends in rather well with the mirror, though yes, it's not complete stealth.

Personally I could not careless if a LEO sees my detector. I do not live in, nor travel to, any states where they are illegal.

Ive noticed also, that with my Pontiac Vibe, the rear antenna has better line of sight out the back window and I do receive better rear detection range then at the top of the windshield.

I could not live without this mount. It's nice.
