Escort Max 360C/Blackvue Dr900s in F90 Comp

Anyone Blendmount there Max 360c in combo with a BlackVue DR900s in their F90 CP? Issues? Advice? I had both in my 2016 F82 ZCP and it worked okay although the Blendmount/rd (including the adaptor for the 360c) combo was not perfect given the size of the F82 mirror base - very tight w/no room for adjustment. Ended up going back to the suction cup, which was good too, except for the less tidy wire length. TIA!

Following up on my OP, ended up getting the Blendmount and it's a fail! I can install but since there is so little space on the rearview mirror mount, the horizontal adjustment of the mirror is restricted by the width of the Blendmount's clamp. End result is that the horizontal position of the mirror is forced away from the driver's normal position (towards the front passenger seat), creating a blindspot from the rear center to anything behind the driver's seat. Anyone have a solution or alternative mirror mount that has worked?

blendmount is the best, I doubt you'll find a better solution.
You might have to find a custom installer, or mount it in the middle of the windshield. or install a custom system.

Hey man, I have the Escort 360c on blend mount and the BlackVue Cameras (DR750S). Radar is on the blend mount and camera is centered right under rear view mirror with original sticky mount with no issues on both.

Problem solved! Installer got the hardwiring for the Escort and Blackvue done correctly, but he got the assembly of the Blendmount backwards so that it was incorrectly oriented to the driver's side. Once the Blendmount was reassembled correctly, everything worked out great!

Yup that's the exact way I have mine setup. Looks great!
