Radar Detector

[Davesike]

The mount I have was made by these people: http://www.countryjoycrafts.com. Made of machined aluminum like the blendmount, but a little cheaper.

The mount I have is no longer made (it's just a big chunk of aluminum with no adjustments at all) The units made by country joy are now much more adjustable. I moved it from my 2006 Sonata to the 2015 Genesis with no issues--they both have a 23mm stem on the mirror.

If i had to do it over, this is what i would probably get:https://store.blendmount.com/blendmount-radar-detector-mount-for-escortbeltronicshyundaiid-hyu-002standard-2000r-series-p3175.aspx

Hello. Just ordered a max 360. I have a 16 genesis sedan. I wanted to.mirror mount but it seems like it would block my vision quite a bit. I was thinking of the blendmount. Thanks in advance

There is also a sensor on the back of the rear view mirror. I'd mount it 3" or so below the RVM using the suction cup.

I use a V1 never had a problem. It is due for an update tho, but for what they charge its easier to just buy another v1.

Necro-ing this thread to post my own experience installing detectors in my 2015 Genesis sedan. I wanted a discrete radar install, so I chose ALP and bought 3 used laser heads since I would already have the box. (Radenso would have been much more effective, but was much more expensive.) I installed it myself over 2 days and it wasn't too hard - just some dremel work mounting the laser heads in the fog light blanks and below the front radar sensor, silicone adhesive, adhering the radar sensor to the lower grill, and routing the cables through the passenger side firewall hole (I stashed the control box in the empty space behind the wood verneer, above the glovebox). I got a second DSP radar sensor, but its cable was too short to reach the rear bumper. The front radar sensor was effective enough that I didn't bother buying an extension cable for the rear (it would have also been a lot more work)!

The DSP radar detector has a mediocre feature set - it ignores blind spot radars, but has no location-based mute feature, so it triggered with every speed sign and traffic sensing radar. Fortunately, I only care about the California Highway Patrol, so I just disabled all the frequencies that they don't use. And since I'm in California, I can keep it legal by having a laser warn-only profile for when I'm in-state, and a laser jam profile for out-of-state. I also like the GPS speed lockout feature, since I drive like a grandma while in the city and don't need any alerts.

I got the non-voice control pad and Bluetooth connectivity box. I don't use the Bluetooth much since I wanted a set-and-forget system, but it was useful when I was tweaking settings on-the-fly and downloading firmware updates. Finally, I have an interesting issue where TPMS throws warnings because its receiver module is near the ALP control box. TPMS doesn't have issues a few minutes after powering it off or staying below the lockout speed, so I assume it's interference from some module. So I'll try and wrap the controller boxes with tinfoil to see if it acts as an effective RF shield.
