I've had full built in radar/jammer systems in the past, but my honest preference is just a blend mount style hanging from the mirror stem. I don't see that being an option with GenV's. What are you guys doing to get a nice radar setup in these cars?

I don't think you will find a Gen V specific system. I have a passport 8500x detector with mirror tap and clamp style holder I plan on using once I get into a Gen V. It worked great in my Gen III. That being said, if I were to buy it all over again, I would go with the escort smart radar. Here's a site that is selling it. I have no association with this site, but they seem to have good prices.

Using an Escort via suction cups behind the mirror.

Get a Blendmount, worth every penny to not have to worry about the thing or ever jack with it again.

I use the suction cups and a tap into the mirror power. Out of the way and fits my needs.

You can get a Blendmount for a Gen5?

I am not sure (saw the Gen III/IV on your avatar), but look at this page and check to see if your mirror is on there. Mine ain't too fancy on the Gen IV. :)

I think its one of the "incompatible mirrors". I had a blendmount for my Z06 and it is awesome, so first thing when I bought the GEN5 was looking for one. No cigar :(

Looks like a full built in radar/jammer is the next best option. With the radar readout in the mirror.

I can't remember how much room there is in the GenV above the mirror? But that is where I mounted my V1 in my Gen3, just suction cupped to the window right above the rear view mirror.

Solo cordless mounted on windshield with suction cups. If you purchase additional mounts u can slide the device in and out of different vehicles easily. Works well. Battery operated. Satisfied.
