Anyways this is a great find. I've been looking into getting a radar detector but I just couldn't find a nice clean place to put em. Oh and how easy is it to take off the detector in case I get pulled over?

Easy to take off. The normal bracket that the suction cups are on is used so it detaches like normal. The wire will hang but it is not that bad.

How long did you make your cord?
invisicords start at 8" all the way up to 24", and custom lengths after that...

also what is the diameter of the mirror post?

The 8" cord is perfect length. I would not go longer if you are going to use the mirror bracket. You will need longer if you want to mount to the winshield. I forgot the size of the post, I used a caliper and it was the size of the mount they recommend for the Z.

So you can just rip it off of the mount? With the cord unplugged that is.

You push the button on top of the radar detector that lets it slide off of the bracket. The bracket remains mounted though. If you are looking for totally stealth to use in a state that does not allow detectors, I would go the higher end built ins. The removal works well for when you do not want the detector in view at parking lots and other high theft areas.
