Arkon Radar Detector Car Windshield Mount

This mount has a superb design to allow several angles of adjustment for different windshield angles. Very large suction cup as well for secure mounting. I use it on an older Beltronics radar, but it fits a variety of other brand radars as well.

Overall, I am really enjoying this product. I have only had it for approximately 2 weeks, but I love this mount a lot better than the one that the detector comes with by factory.I had to tighten the screw on the side because it was loose and allowed for the radar detector to bounce or go to a different angle while I was driving, but after that, it has been great!The part that actually slides into the detector and the angle adjustment are great and hold the entire weight of the detector. My old factory mount wasn't sturdy enough to hold my detector straight just due to sheer weight.Suction cup works great! I pressed mine on their really hard and prepped it using the alcohol prep pad it came with. Works great. Hinge to suction is a little cheap, but it does what it needs to do and hasn't failed on me yet.Overall, great product and I would definitely buy it again. Seller had fast shipping and good packaging. No damages.

This product was supposed to come with different mounting brackets as a description but didn't came and shipped out in a bag not in a box was broken when I got it now I have to waste my time to return it and get a different one do not waste your time buy something else

This thing would be 6 stars if the blade that fits into the radar detector were thick enough to not allow play/slack - the radar detector jumps around on the mount whenever the road gets a little rough. I have been experimenting with remedies - without great success so far - the suction cup is outstanding, the ratcheting pivot mount is rock solid - just annoying that the actual interface with the radar detector didn't receive the same attention.UPDATE: After a couple of attempts - I was able to judiciously apply some duct tape strategically on the blade to reduce movement to almost zero - still seems like this should be a point of attention for the designer/manufacturer - but at under $20 this is a really solid piece of gear.

I have a Beltronics STI Magnum radar detector. I use it with a Blendmount mirror mount powered through the mirror in my 2010 Corvette. That works great but they don't make a similar mount for my 2015 Cadillac XTS. The suction cup mount that came with the Beltronics detector just doesn't stay on the windshield. So I bought Arkon’s RDMET01 radar detector windshield mount. However, when I received it and tried to attach it to the windshield it wouldn't hold more than a minute or so. Looking at the suction cup I could see a blemish that I was pretty sure was preventing the cup from sealing. Thinking I was out the $14 I paid for it I took a shot and emailed Arkon's customer service. Sent them a photo of the cup and asked if they could do anything. I got a quick response and a promise to send me a new mount. Received it a few days later and it works perfectly. Every now and then any product can have a manufacturing flaw but when the manufacturer stands behind the product with that kind of no hassle replacement you have to give them credit. So any time I'm in the market for a product Arkon makes I will look to them first.

Great mount. Build quality exceeds that of the Escort/Passport sticky cup mount at a cheaper price.Notice the metal pin that runs thru the installation handle. Escort has cheap plastic clip that connects it tothe suction cup. Many of times I have had the Escort mounts explode leaving the suction cup, lever, and spring fly apart.This suction cup isn't tacky to the touch, but it does provide a strong suction to the windshield. Save your money and buy this one over the Escort mount. You will be happy you did.

The build quality is great and the suction it provides is fantastic. HOWEVER, my Escort 9500 rattles A LOT with this mount. In addition the auto brightness feature does not work with this mount as the mount casts a shadow over the sensor on the 9500. If i knew it would be like this I probably would have gotten the original style mount that came with the detector.

Suction mount on my dashcam bit the dust. This is basically a bag of parts allows you to rebuild your suction mount. There wasn't a PERFECT fitting part for my dashcam but one that was "close enough" and with a little SuperGlue or JB Weld should hold it for another two years. By then I'll be getting a fancier newer dashcam anyway.
