I have a Passport 8500 Radar Detector and didn't like the suction cup mounting option that came with the detector and didn't want to place it on the dash either. I wanted something that was NOT permanent, somewhat hid the detector and power cord as well as being fast and easy to remove. After looking around the interior for a good way to mount the detector I decided to use a simple bracket that attaches under the plastic clip that holds the visor (closest to the rear view mirror). This plastic clip easily pops out if you insert 2 flat head screw drivers on each side to move the plastic clips that hold it in place out of the way. I had a friend of mine who has access to a metal shop to make the bracket. The bracket needs to be thin (mine is a little thicker than the metal suction cup mounting bracket that came with the detector) but still strong. I have a direct wire cord on order that I will run behind the A-piller molding to hide the cord. This detector is 3 years old and the plastic portion of the housing that holds the upper and lower pieces together have broke and that's why I have electrical tape holding them together. I've had it in place for about two weeks now and think it works great. I assume something like this could be use for other radar detectors too. Check out the pictures.

This is pretty sweet. Any chance of being able to make another bracket and selling it to me?
