Available for Escort and V1. $40.

Nice. Word is on LS1GTO that it fits our cars just peachy.

Not sure If I'm going this route yet (I may just mount it high to the right of the mirror, clear of the imprint, and use my remote display on the panel near the DIC) but it sure is tempting...

Cool design - It's got that Z on the back but looks promising.... :cheers

Will it fit both the 04 and 05 rearview mirrors?

I am not sure which one will i get when the time comes. I am also considering a 350z as an alternative.

I got a V1 and I love this unit.

Thanks

IT DOESN'T FIT ! After an hour+ of trying (the small hex tool is a blast-not) to get it to fit my 05 (ackward hands in air and against window and rotating driver to passenger seat , and tilting rearview to get the angle to tighten) I have to say NOT RECOMMENDED.

This bracket will install without movement (solidly to rearview post) but at that no rattle tightness the V1 unit is pointing up somewhat and the rear radar detector is pointing at rear seat headrest (levelwise). The killer is the rearview dimming knob is not useable which in my book is a showstopper...

Will return for Refund minus time/energy/shipping cost to-from...
And man did I want this bracket to work , So suction cups it is...

Erk.

Sorry to hear that...but glad you jumped on that grenade for me (I was about to make the leap)...

I may have the machine shop whip one up...hmmmm....

From the emails with Joy - looks like they may have changed the rearview mirror post on the 05 - she claims this bracket fits on the 04... :confused

I used a different approach for my V1 mount. I've been pretty happy with this mount, which I made from some steel, which I bent to my specs, then spray-painted blue. This sits under my passenger-side visor clip, similar to the "Great Lakes Trophy" mount on my C5.
