mount and connection for escort 8500
great link here as it shows a mount for my escort 8500. I seem to recall someone writing about how to wire the detector to the mirror so that you don't need the cord running to the cigarette lighter outlet. Can anyone help with how to make the connection? thanks

Do you have any pics to share?
I not too fond of the "Mikes mount" as the pics I've seen show the detector about 1 additional inch lower below the mirror than it seems necessary...
TIA

here are the pics of the mount. as you can see they put the detector up right at the roof line. Its at a bit of an angle so it faces right at my eyes which is nice. Then i have the laser front rear single reader right on the steering colum....

Clean install...thanks for posting the pics.
I've always placed my detectors just to the left of the rear view mirror. I don't like the suction cups, mine are probably old and with extreme temperature fluctuations one cup sometimes lets go leaving the detector hanging by just one other. I do have extra new cups I'm going to use when I swap cars, hopefully that will help. Still debating a mirror mount, I like the no suction cup approach, just not the below the mirror location.
