Hardwired my radar & GPS

AK370Z · 07-01-2009, 04:42 AM

Install looks nice and clean. Mine (RADAR) should be hardwired soon. I am debating right now if I should get the bracket like "MODSHACK" or no.

AK, any idea the name of the bracket Modshack used? I see something called the Blendmount that is similar, but not the same. Any idea the thickness of the rearview mirror stalk?

I looked at that bracketed install and like the way it looks as well as the sturdiness of it all but it sits the radar unit down too low for my taste. I wanted it sitting up higher and almost flush with the mirror.

Check this out from a Lexus forum:

This seems to be the Z-mount that AZ has in the photo:

These same guys make an adjustable pivot mount that would allow a more flush fitting up toward the mirror. I thought this was going to annoy me too, but surprisingly it doesn't and does not seem a distraction in right hand sweepers.... I've gotten used to it..

Here is my BlendMount with V1. The height is adjustable and I adjusted V1 just below the rearview mirror. There is no vibration issue. The V1 is rock solid during driving.

Try the blendmount, I just got mine and it has a very high quality build, as well as the design, a lot of flexibility:
