Radar Detector Mount, Rearview Mirror Rod Radar Mounting Base, Suitable for Uniden Radar Models

So far so good. Super easy to install - came with wrenches and a screwdriver. I bought it for my R8. Yes, the plate that connects to the R8 is a tight fit, but I don’t mind as it makes a more rigid fit. It came with some extra o-rings which appear to be replacements for the ones installed… nice touch…. I also used some loc-tight on the small screws for added security.

I am giving this 5 stars even thought it does not fit on my 2024 Subaru Outback. The front to back depth of the attachment bracket is literally a few millimeters too thick for the space between the mirror body and the pivot arm the mirror attaches to. So when I installed the bracket the mirror was pushed up to the point where I could only see the very top of my rear window. I was installing the bracket from my passenger seat so the steering wheel was not in my way, and I didn't notice the issue until I sat in my driver's seat to pull the car out of the garage. I drove all the way to work without the use of my rear-view mirror just to see how the mount would hold up and it is ROCK SOLID. No vibration, no bouncing or anything. I do recommend this product..... just not if you have a 2024 Outback. The mount is made very well, it is very easy to install. And the minor depth issue can't really be blamed on either the car or the mount... they just don't work together as it is intended to be installed. I have not given up yet though, I am going to see if it is possible to mount the bracket securely to the 'down' arm of the mirror. Who knows. ***UPDATE*** The mount is working perfectly mounted to the down arm of the rear view mirror! It took a little bit of stubbornness to make it work where I wanted it... but I had a feeling it would fit and it did! It looks amazing with the radar detector just below the mirror and it is completely solid. I really like how tightening and loosening both ball joints is done by one easy to use handle. I wish I bought this a long time ago.

When the suction cup mount that came with our Uniden R8 basically melted on our window and fell off (we've been in TX and the truck sits outside in the sun all the time) my husband wanted a mirror mount instead but the one he wanted was well over $100 and so I saw this and thought we'd give it a try first. The box is tiny so I didn't have much hope when I first got it and thought it would be getting returned, but it comes with a lot in the box, everything you need to get it mounted. We have it installed in a 2024 GMC Sierra. It took me 2 tries and I was ready to give up on it, but I really didn't want to spend another $100 on the one he wanted so I tried again. Turns out it was more of a user error than anything - I thought I would need the longer screws as I couldn't get the shorter ones around the mirror mount at first, but the long ones were way too long. I finally loosened the short ones clear up until it almost came out and then was able to twist it and got it on. It tightened up well, looks good, and is very adjustable/flexible to fit how you want it, whether it's right up against the mirror or lower so you can reach buttons on top of the radar. It says it works with an R8 and we have one on it now, but it doesn't "lock" on like the R7 does (the R7 fit perfectly, but the R8 is my husbands and the mount we were replacing was the R8 mount). I don't know if something inside our R8 is broke as it also doesn't "lock" on an actual Uniden R8 suction mount that I had ordered before he said he wanted a mirror one instead of a suction mount. So, we just have the R8 pushed on as far as it will go and so far it's stayed and hadn't vibrated or seemed to have moved at all. We've had it installed for probably 3 weeks now, he drives at least an hour a day and goes quite fast (hence the radar) so it's generally not a smooth ride and it's been sturdy and held up so far. I am considering another one for our Jeep Wrangler (with the R7) but the suction mount in that vehicle is still hanging in, but I know what I'm going to replace it with when it gives up the ghost. Bottom line, I'd buy it again and it's hard to beat for the price.

Very happy with this mount so far. It's very sturdy and stable once it's all tightened down. Installation is easy for the most part, and works without a hitch with the Uniden R3 and R4 detectors. The only challenge I had was getting it to fit a 2022 Tesla Model X (Plaid, if that matters). The "stem" that connects the backside of the mirror to the windshield mirror mount on the car is very short, which doesn't leave much room to install this radar mount. And once it's installed, the mirror itself can only barely be adjusted to provide the rear view the driver needs. I had to mount it at an odd angle, and it still severely limits the mirror's movement. Fits great on a 2024 Ram 1500 and on a 2024 GMC Yukon though. Could be improved somewhat with more accommodating bracket mounting hardware for cars with a tight space between the mirror and the windshield mirror mount.

The mount is great, fits perfect and is very sturdy. I love that it comes with many options, longer screws, extra bushings, and all the necessary tools. HOWEVER none of the provided plates match my R7 perfectly. It only works when i insert the plate with an angle, it will not go in flush because the back og the plate is too wide. Seller if you can get me an R7 plate that is not as wide in the rear so that it can fit flush that would be great 🙏🙏🙏
