Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Escort 57-000027 Visor Clip Mount for Radar and Laser Detectors
Customer Review: Works fine on my Scion TC Visor
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my Escort 8500 for a couple of years now. The windshield mounting suction cups that come with the unit are really horrible. I can't figure out why they are included with such an expensive radar detector. What I WAS doing was velcroing the front of the detector to the top of my rear-view mirror and using the suction cups to prop up the back. But, evey so often, if the car got too hot, I'd find the detector on the car floor. The mirror would loosen and even the velcro glue came off. Other times, if it was too cold, the back of the detector would be dangling and the front would be connected to the velcro.
So, this last time it happened, I decided to search for alternatives. I saw the "Escort 0010027-1 Supercup Windshield Mount (Black)" and thought about making my own from an old mount I had from a Sirius Radio suction mount. This actually worked OK, but, because the detector had to be mounted on the bottom, the suction mount would actually block the vision of the detector from the road. Plus, there was no quick-release, since it was double taped on.
This suction unit works by plugging in to the top of the detector. The detector hangs from the mount giving it full front and rear vision. It is easy to remove when the vehicle is parked. But, what I'm not crazy about, is that it is very obvious that there is a radar dector on the windshield. So, although it works fine, I am a little torn between this and the "Escort 57-000027 Visor Clip Mount for Radar and Laser Detectors". Since I had to spend another $5 for free shipping, I purchased this at the same time for $6.00. It also works great. But, it is hard to see the readings on the front of the detector, makes the visor un-useable, and the buttons hard to use. On the plus side, it hides the detector from site.
So, bottom line, I have not decided which I like best. For now, I am using this suction cup mount, because I really do like it better. It all boils down to whether or not I want to continually have to hide the detector in the glove box or not, I guess. As another reviewer points out, this $20 device (and the $6 visor mount for that matter) should have been included with the Escort in the first place. If you are buying an Escort, just get both of these items.
