Escort 57-000027 Visor Clip Mount for Radar and Laser Detectors

This device does exactly what it says it will do: mount your detector to the visor. And it works well for that purpose.

Escort advises that mounting the detector on the visor will reduce laser detection due to the tint on the windshield. However, I have a hard time with suction cups in the winter. This product lets me securely mount the detector until the windshield warms up enough to use the suction cups.

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. I laugh when I see people with the suction cups and wires going all over the place. What a mess !! 2 other reasons to use a clip:
1) my neighbor who is a police officer has told me that it REALLY irritates him when he pulls over a car and their "fuzzbuster" is in plain view stuck to the windshield. Any hopes of getting off with a warning thereby go down the drain.
2) thieves see a detector stuck to the windshield and SMASH, its stolen !!

I bought this to use with my Escort 9500ix . Using this will mask many of top function keys. Also it can scratch the visor & lining of the car above the visor. Furthermore it blocked the GPS function of the detector, making its use worthless. I threw it away.
