I tried the 3D printed one and removed the mirror, but it didn’t hold up and the model didn’t have the holes aligned correctly. I didn’t try printing as one suggested by outsourcing the model to an aluminum shop.
I tried removing the mirror and using a 20mm mount but I think it hangs too low and doesn’t look as clean.
Here’s the best option I think so far that is with off the shelf parts.
- Mirror tap to get 12V power to the radar detector
- Sanded out a groove in the plastic rear view mirror cover to route the wiring out while still using the cover.
- SDSACZMU Radar Mount (https://a.co/d/9HXkLEs). I tried the “Radar Mount” brand which is similar but it is not as heavy duty as the SDSACZMU one and broke when tightening the clamp.
- I clamped on the angled part of the mirror and used the shorter set of screws. The longer set are way too long. I also swapped out the color of the rubber bands from red to black, which they provided.
I’m finally super happy how this turned out and still keeps the mirror. I might upgrade the mirror that has a dashcam front and rear with video screen down the road.
