When purchasing a radar detector for your automobile, you'll find that most radar detector mounts are sold separately from the radar detector which is good because it gives you the option to choose which mount will suit you the best as far as what type of automobile you have and what model radar detector you've purchased.
The best location to place your radar mount will vary, but usually it'll be either on your windshield or your dashboard so that you don’t obstruct your view while driving.
Windshield Mounts
A windshield mount may suit wireless radar detectors to avoid the cord blocking your driving view. Before purchasing a windshield mount, check with your state's road laws as some states prohibit anything that is attached to the windshield.
Dashboard Mounts
Radar detectors mounted to the dashboard right next to the windshield are considered to be in the best location, as police radar guns and laser guns are directed to the front of the car, so by having your radar detector mounted to the center of the dashboard, you are more likely to pick up their signals. And with the radar detector mounted to the dash, you're able to easily access the controls without diverting your attention from the road.
There have been some misconceptions about how and where a radar detector should be mounted. Some suggest that a radar detector should be mounted on or near your cars sun visor, and while this may be a good location, it is possible that it could get in the way of your vision, but if mounted properly in this location, there shouldn’t be a problem. It has also been suggested that radar detectors are ineffective during bad weather, but this is just a myth. They work fine in all weather conditions.

This radar detector mount is able to be attached to either the windshield or dashboard. The mounting plate allows the detector to be easily removed when required. The windshield mount has a large, deep cup in order to attach to the glass with added strength.

I have a Passport 9500 radar detector… I purchased this radar detector mount, and use it on my dashboard. It came with everything needed to install. It is great! Not only do I need not worry about the detector falling off the windshield anymore, the use of the mounting plate lets me remove the detector easily when I need to (for example, parking in parking lots, out in the hot sun, or on short car trips). Besides the dash mount, you always have the option to use this mount on the windshield. Windshield mounting with this mount would certainly be better than the factory supplied mount, as it has a much bigger and deeper "cup" so it would probably hold better to the glass.

This works great for holding my radar detector, windshield,or dash.The big suction cup is the only way to go.The little 2 suction cups don't hold as good.I fell it's more secure with the big suction cup.You don't want your $500.00 radar detector falling down and down to floor and breaking.BE SMART BUY BIG...............

This heavyweight beanbag dash and windshield mount is a unique mounting kit. Great for those that would rather not stick anything to the dash of the car. This mount combines heavy duty suction and a non-skid base for ultimate stability. No glue is required as once you’ve placed the mount on the desired location it won’t move. The mount weighs almost 3 pounds and adheres to either location using the smooth suction surface, which is also easily removable to transfer to other vehicles.

…This mount places the unit at the perfect height and leaves no marks on the windshield or dashboard. It holds steady and does not slide. Works as advertised!! I wish I had bought this unit long ago. Easy to hide and set up and works perfectly. If you've got a radar detector do yourself a favor and buy this unit. It's worth every penny!

Simple design and set up. Works very well, doesn't slide around. It is so much better than my windshield mount that came with the Passport.

Escort Visor Clip Mount for Radar and Laser Detectors
The Escort visor clip can conveniently attach to your visor and is easily able to detect radar gun signals from this location whilst driving. The visor clip is recommended by Escort only when your car’s windshield isn’t obscured by dark window tinting. If your car does feature this tint then a windshield suction cup is highly recommended. This radar detector mount is compatible to attach most of the current Passport and Solo radar detectors. It may also hold earlier models of the Passport and Solo detectors.

I've used a 8500 with a visor clip on my 2004 suburban since new, and the detector works flawlessly up there. Couple this with a direct wire cord either to the fuse block or the powerport on the rear view mirror and you have a truly built in look…

…This one is one piece, hooks onto the visor tight and is easy to attach to the detector once you figure why they put the slot in it. I'm using it on a beltronics and it fits like it was made for it… I have it on my liberty and I still get my rear signals.

This is exactly what I wanted - no wires, nothing on the dash, and yet still readable and reachable. I use this clip to mount a Passport Solo above the rear view mirror in an Audi. If your vehicle has a little "mini shade" above the mirror it clips there perfectly…

Some radar detectors are heavier than others and may not always suit the type of mount that you prefer.
