    Hey Eddie , Since I first watched your Video I purchased and installed the Mount and am very happy with it , I also got the hard wire kit but have yet to install that part . It’s a nice mount and easy to remove the unit from to stow in the trunk on occasion when using public parking . I don’t mind the price for Quality American Made products that fit and look good . Thanks for showing it to me . 👍

    Can you show or tell me how you got those panels off? is it just a simple downwards pull, or something else?

    Very informative video and a great solution to avoid cords running everywhere. I have a 2018 GT350 and their website does not currently have a mount available. I've seen your videos with the GT350 and I was wondering if you had an alternate solution for an Escort 360 MK II (or 360c MK II). Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

    Very good video. I hear some vehicles even when the car is off, power still runs through the rear view mirror.

    I bought a cable off of Amazon and was able to find which was the power and which was the ground but it only powers my escort when the engine is off and then it says low voltage and powers down. It shows on the escort that it only powers up to 8 volts, so yeah it's not enough. Then when I turn the engine on it doesn't power the escort at all. Any one able to help?

    I have the Tesla Model Y back window is so small do you think that if a radar is shot at my car from the back to my radar detector and ,
    not hitting directly into my uniden R3, do you think my radar detector will go off anyway? Not sure how the radar gun and the radar detector works in the event that a cop shoots my car from the back.
