Five Star Reviews: | 50% Cordless Detector Mounting Clip September 28, 2017 Nice Escort Detector Clip For Cordless Only! Not Good At All For Corded Models! Works great woth 9500ix December 5, 2015 Works great with my 9500ix (still able to use the speed display which I like since my speedometer is off since I have bigger tires on my truck) as the speaker is on the bottom, it blocks a lot of sound on my 8500 x50 though as the speaker is on the top. Before you buy this though make sure your visor will sit perfectly (close atleast) horizontal so you detect outwords not the ground as many visors spring back when horizontal. Would recommend Raise your stealth... July 12, 2010 This is a simple device. It places your detector on your visor. This does two things:1. For X, K, and Ka band, should extend the range of your detector (while unfortunately affecting Laser detection)2. Reducing the visibility of your detector...While laser radar is on the increase, I have found my detector still detects laser in time to matter, even when visor-mounted. I have up to 2 mile detection range with my BEL Driver STi mounted on my visor - pretty incredible range. Your Mileage May Vary.The other day I was in Virginia (Radar Detectors Illegal) and I forgot to remove my detector from the windshield mount I use in my other vehicle and *BAM* I was stopped for having a detector. How could they miss it? It was smack in the middle of my windshield... I was fortunate that it was not connected to power and the officer gave me a warning with a reminder that the power source cannot be within reach.This prompted me to get a second clip so I can mount the detector on the visor in my second vehicle and avoid even the appearance of being a scofflaw in those places where an easily seen detector might trigger unwanted interest. | 62% NOT FOR EVERYONE March 20, 2017 First off, I'm leaving 5 stars because the quality of the pad. Like others have mentioned, it grips very well and does the job. I say "Not for everyone" because if your car is like mine this will not be good for a radar detector. I have an LED hud in the center dash with a hood that goes over it. It slants slightly down going towards the front of the car. When mounting the radar detector, it points slightly down toward the windshield wiper and doesn't clear the rear either. So, if your dash is similar to mine, get a mirror mount. Your radar detector needs to point straight forward and not be impeded by wipers or anything else and needs to be able to clear the rear, which is why I suggested the mirror mount. Again, this does not detract from the quality of the mount itself and I will use this for something else such as to hold a phone or whatever else. This is just a warning for others like me. Amazing Rubber Gripper - Really Works! August 15, 2016 This pad is naturally sticky, like a post-it. Works great to have your radar detector mounted on the dashboard, out of view, close and easy to adjust when necessary. And, you can remove it from view when parked, or leaving the car in the hot sun to avoid "frying" your detector (I lost one that way). An amazing pad, much more reliable than suction cups on the window, plus the detector is closer to me so I can read the screen. It's easy to wipe down if needed without impacting the level ... May 27, 2016 Sticks to the dash of my FJ cruiser very well. I use it for a radar detector. The longer it sits, the more secure it gets. I have not had any issues with it or the radar detector sliding around. Interestingly, it does not seem to attract dust or small particles as some other pads do. It's easy to wipe down if needed without impacting the level of grip. I'll probably buy another one. It is FANTASTIC! May 13, 2016 Been thinking of getting this for my radar detector for months. After the LAST time of the current suction cups falling off while driving I finally purchased this item. It is FANTASTIC! Not only does my detector stay in place but it also looks much sleeker without having anything mounted to my windshield. Should have purchased sooner. No sticky residue on my BMW dash. Great product. Amazing little pad works even under extreme driving !!! March 17, 2015 this little matt is amazing . in south florida i go thru suction cups every 2 yrs and have to pull the detector off for the sun screen so i figured i would try this instead . i didn't think it would work to well , my challenger has a bumpy dash with the designs in the plastic that i drive hard at times, taking turns hard etc having a little fun in it :) and also my escort x50 is very heavy for a radar detector . it has not moved once sitting on this pad , and i thought for sure this thing would go flying thru the side window and also i don't have to move it putting my sunscreen up , i love it . great product !! Really Works! January 16, 2014 Like alot of other people have already posted. This thing sticks like magic. I found a perfect spot on the dash of my Corvette, placed my Escort 9500ix top of the pad. Pushed it down real good, and "bingo!" it stayed. I have not tried multiple removals and replacements on the dash, but so far, it's been GREAT! | 59% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 15% So there is no falling off or anything weird like that. Its just hard as heck to get ... September 15, 2015 I got this and have to say it doesn't stretch very well. I have a 20013 Chevy Corvette and a 2006 Chevy Trail Brazer and both the visors has a mirror on it. Both visors are thick and I had to REALLY muscle this thing on there. I might look into a rear view mirror mount instead. Once this is on my visor its on there until I take it off. So there is no falling off or anything weird like that. Its just hard as heck to get it where it should be. Great product May 7, 2015 Just received the product today. Fits snug and holds my solo 3 great. Only complaint would be that you have to have the visor hang down about 2 inches so the radar detector has a good view of the front and back of the vehicle. Holds very, very well January 23, 2014 If ever there was a product guilty of being too good, this would be it. The clip mounts perfectly into my S2 Solo radar detector. The clip is very tight. Very tight. It takes a little effort to get on the sun visor, but once it's on, it will not move. One thing I was not expecting, and this could be isolated to my make of car, was that when I put the clip on my visor, it permanently made a dent in the visor. It's probably not noticeable to anyone but me; alas, I know it's there. It doesn't affect the performance of the clip, it just bothers me that it's there. Other than that, great product that will keep your radar detector in it's place. Exactly as described May 6, 2012 There isn't really much to say about a formed piece of metal, but I ordered this to replace a lost clip for my garage door opener and it works perfect. I used some epoxy to glue it to my garage door opener and it has stayed in place for many months already. It has a nice tight grip on my visor and has never fallen off. I'd definitely order it again if I needed another clip. Simple, great product. BEL/Escort Radar Visor Clip Review May 6, 2010 Purchased this as a necessity after getting my BEL STI radar detector. Also, purchased the hardwire kit, which is necessary to reach the Detector mounted on the visor. You will need an "Add a Circuit" to put into you fuse block if don't want to use the the 3M connector supplied with the wire kit, which cuts into your fuse box wired circuit. Amazon sells that item too.Using all three items makes your detector much harder to see from outside the vehicle. This is important in states such as NY, VA and TX, where they will ticket you for using the radar detector. As the STI is a stealth detector, I feel it's the only one to buy if you travel to those states. I go to all three of them several times a year.The products work well for their intended use. Amazon performed well as usual.Escort 57-000027 Visor Clip Mount for Radar and Laser Detectors When suction cups won't work February 16, 2008 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. | 11% My husband purchased this for his road trips back and ... April 28, 2017 My husband purchased this for his road trips back and forth to his home state of Iowa. He says that it has worked very well, sometimes too well. He said that he turned it off at times because it is so sensitive and picked up the radar in the road signs when there was no police radar around. It works pretty well! March 7, 2017 When I first open this item, I was disappointed by the thickness. Luckily, even though it is very thin, the pad does what it is suppose to. I haven't had any problems with my detector sliding around on my dash. Btw the mounting pad sticks to the bottom of your radar detector better than it will to the dash. I just decide to leave my radar detector always plug up because of that reason. What a great little item September 11, 2016 What a great little item. I picked it up as a cheap add-on for my Beltronics Pro200 radar detector. I didn't have a whole lot of hope for performance on such a low value item, but I have been blown away by how well it works. It's a great fit for the detector and it has never moved at all in my first two months of use. I do worry about it melting or overheating and becoming a sticky mess on my dash, so I keep a newspaper in the car to cover it on the days it is parked in direct sunlight. So far, so good and I remain pleasantly surprised and suction cup free on my windshield. Sticks like it's supposed to June 29, 2016 The mount definitely does what it was designed to do. Be aware that your dashboard will have to be flat, any incline or bump will obviously have an impact on its usefulness.Being somewhat sticky, it will attract dust/lint if it comes into contact with such material. I am also hesitant to leave this in my car on hot days, as I am afraid it will melt. Has a strong odor during initial use. Does exactly what I expected at a VERY reasonable price. November 19, 2015 It does exactly what I expected it to do, hold a radar detector on the dashboard without is sliding around and falling off. I'm also tired of messing up my windows and view with the OEM suction cup.sticky cup mounts.I bought two, one for each of my cars because I put my old one in my wife's car. Now I can use my old detector in her car, or, if we're on a long trip, I can easily put my Max 2 on the dashboard.The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's actually too sticky.When you lift up the detector to put it away the whole pad comes with it.I would have given it 4 & 1/2 stars but that's not an option.Still and all, it does the job well and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants the same results. Sticky Dash Pad September 23, 2015 I use this to hold my Escort 8500 radar detector in place on the dash. It's handy for those times I might need to pluck the detector off my dash in a hurry or to get it out of sight when I park in an area where the detector might present a reason for a break-in. I have found this type of gummy material holds well but will deteriorate if exposed to the heat and sunlight encountered in south Texas. It left a gooey mess on my wife's dash that I'm still working to completely remove. | 16% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 9% Don't drop your detector:( January 21, 2017 Doesn't rally stay on my detector securely....easily pulls off without pushing release button. Seriously over charged April 3, 2016 Not worth the price. I found myself not using it because it put the detector in a bad angle and position Not good for Escort 9500 on my visor set up. June 21, 2015 This did not work well for my Escort 9500i. It doesn't allow any adjustment of the angle, so it was point down too far. AND you couldn't reach any of the buttons on the unit. Would have returned it, but not worth the hassle of shipping costs. So, really visualize your escort unit and visor setup to determine how this will work in your application. Overpriced, but works exactly as intended. June 8, 2015 Suction cups wear out and weaken in the summer heat. This is the next best thing. Also a necessary option if you're hard-wiring your detector as I was.It gets the job done, but it's not worth the price. Alright..... September 23, 2014 It works (with my Beltronics Detector), but my gripes are this:It's too tight! It's difficult to get it on the visor and it leaves a deep indentation.It cost too much. I can't imagine it was over $1.00 to produce. Given the cost of the detector, this should be an included accessory. | 7% Not as expected March 14, 2017 Product is a little sticky but did not do well in holding either my radar detector or my Samsung Note cell phone. Not worth the price if it was not shipped for free. It gets dirty pretty easily and I cannot get the lint off ... May 29, 2016 This product worked very well and kept my phone in place, but sometimes when I took sharp turns my phone would fall off. It gets dirty pretty easily and I cannot get the lint off of this thing. I don't think I would recommend this though. Don't let it get dirty January 6, 2016 It works fine if you are careful, but I found it to be so sticky to the detector that it would come off when I took the detector off ... then it would get lint and become completely un-sticky.If you are careful and/or don't pull the detector off very often it works great.If you are not that careful an pull the detector off all the time (me) it isn't quite as useful It is pretty thin. It does a good job of holding ... September 11, 2015 It is pretty thin. It does a good job of holding my radar detector, but it also leaves behind a "film" of sorts on the dash and the radar detector. I'm in Texas so it gets really hot inside the vehicle and I leave it on the dash but without the radar detector. While I'm using it it does hold the radar detector securely even though it can't fully hold the detector flat due to my dash not being flat. Stickyless August 25, 2015 This was MAGIC in my Corolla. It held my radar detector as if I had super glued it to the dash. NO JOKE. But in my truck, I have the same dash (texture / curves/ etc) as my Corolla, BUT - it has somewhat of a powdery type coating. I tried rubbing alcohol, and cleaning the powdery type coating - but no-dice. Now I have this majorly sticky gel pad that sticks to the radar detector like glue, but, the pad won't even sit on the dash of my truck. It just slides right off. I guess it depends on your dash type. Both of my vehicles are modern Toyotas. I don't get it. I was not impressed. Perhaps my detector is too heavy.... May 25, 2015 This pad is sticky and adheres to the dash of your car, until it gets dusty. The other issue is on very hot days, it adheres to the detector and comes off each time you remove your detector. On cold days, the detector will not adhere at all. I'd look elsewhere for a product. I had a few times when I turned the car and the detector went flying across the dash! | 9% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 4% Didn't work in my car February 9, 2016 Didn't work with my 2007 Audi A4 visors, just pointed at the good. Returned. Blocks Rear Radar Detector. October 3, 2015 If you have a radar detector that doesn't have a rear radar then this is for you. If you do, save your money. Not for detectors with GPS September 17, 2015 Might be OK for some Escort detectors, but not mine. The fit OK and it did lock in place. It was tough to get on my thick visor. The radar detector did NOT pick up GPS located under the visor. I wouldn't get this again January 1, 2013 Very stiff spring. It pops free of the radar detector easily, which can be good and bad, mostly bad, because it pops out when you don't want it to. Once it is attached to the detector, it's a two-handed wrestling match to get it attached to the visor. Didn't work for me, check you visor before ordering. December 6, 2009 The good thing about this mount is it's not flimsy cheap metal thus it's not very easy to bend. Unfortunately the sun visor on my car was so thick forcing this over it would have damaged the visor or at least left permanent markings on the visor upon removal. I ran into this same circumstance when mounting my garage door opener but was able to bend it to conform.The second thing I did not think about was the angle of the sun visor when not in use. Both driver and passenger shade visors in my car are angled upwards towards the headliner when not in use and will not "stay" level, they simply snap back up when positioned level. For best performance of the radar / laser detector it's recommended the unit remain level and not at an angle.And finally weight. If your visors are lightweight and move easily or not attached correctly the weight of the detector may cause the visor to swing down unexpectedly. Not a good thing while driving down the road.So that said this product may work for you if you have that glass slipper of a perfect shade visor on your vehicle. | 6% Didn't live up to expectations. July 13, 2017 thought it would be a high quality rubber pad, but it's a flimsy thin pad that would only be appropriate for a very flat dashboard with a driver who never takes sharp turns. I don't use it. I think a dual pair of Velcro strips may work better. Poor Grade for Green or Longevity April 18, 2017 This product does a good job at supplying stablility of whatever on your dashboard. However, the material breaks down into a sticky, liquid mess after being in the sun for any length of time. I live in NY , by the Canadian border, so I am not even talking about excessive sunlight or heat. I could only imagine the mess if I lived in FL.anyhow, it will last a about 2 weeks in the sunlight and you will need to throw out and replace. Not a good ecologically sound choice. Does Not Perform As Advertised November 11, 2016 I bought this with high hopes, especially since it apparently is intended for radar detectors. It didn't take long before it went flying across my dash on an unassuming turn. The attached pictures shows the start of the product curling up. Radar Detector Magic Mounting Pad October 18, 2016 I need to state right away that when it comes to gripping things and staying in place, it works awesome. The problem I had is that it can't be left on the dash in the summer. You have to install and remove it every time or it will melt into, and leave a permanent shape in your dash. The grip and holding abilities are great. Not recommended... need another solution October 19, 2015 with all the dust that is in the car, I can't imagine this working a long time. I wanted to place this on the dash near me and with the cord needing to stretch a bit.. the radar detector wouldn't stay. Plus I needed something that would get alot of wear due to the frequency of radar detector being moved back and forth. This would lose its "stickiness" in a very short time since it collects all the dust. Strong glue hard to take off July 20, 2015 I installed unit on dash. Radar radar detector real hard to take off and on you don't want to get a $300 detective stolen ..so you want to get off every time you leave a car you cannot do that because it's super sticky. | 6% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 22% it works... However, it had to ... August 10, 2017 it works...However, it had to cost fifty cents to make...why did I have to pay $14.95 plus shipping? Its a teeny piece of bent flat metal...price should have been $2.95 Im surprised escort ripped (I mean charged) too much. It should have been included with the $233.00 solo.I feel I have been had instead of thrilled initially with the product...Oh well..... Clipped backward March 19, 2017 Not work as it clipped backward like the other reviews mentioned. I should have read the reviews clearly before purchase this. I had never used it after I bought this product. ... a new clip - this one pulls out really easy (hardly any pressure) - had to change to different ... April 9, 2016 ordered a new clip - this one pulls out really easy (hardly any pressure) - had to change to different suction mount NOT compatible with newest Escort Passport Max 2 November 11, 2015 This does NOT work with the Passport Max 2 radar detector.This appears designed for a pushbutton release mechanism. The Passport Max 2 uses a magnetic clip mechanism. Doesn't fit on 2010 Scion TC Sun Visors June 24, 2014 I bought this for my Escort Redline radar detector because I live in Arizona and the heat destroys the little suction cup mounts. The problem with this is that it doesn't fit on my car's visors because they are too fat. This doesn't even fit on my visor let alone with a detector attached as well. Does not fit December 28, 2013 This thing does not fit in the back of the radar detector I take it that this clip that came with it doesn't go to it. De better guys | 14% JUNK dashboard mounting pad, wasted my money! June 26, 2017 Not sticky enough to even stay on my dashboard let alone hold my passport radar detector on the dash from jinX. I have purchased mounting pads from other sellers and they are sticky and they work just fine. This pad is worthless! Tape would work better than this useless pad May 9, 2017 It worked good the first week, but lost it stickiness thereafter. I read that it's washable, so maybe that might help make it sticky again. I don't have time for that. My detector came with a suction mount for the windshield which I use now and should've stuck with. It has no flaws. Buy at your own risk. Did not like. April 20, 2017 WAY TOO STICKY! I would never put this on my dash. It would likely just damage the plastic. I have had other dash pads that work fine, this one feels oily and way too sticky. Wasted money, unless you want something really sticky. Dont bother with this one December 16, 2016 Melted once it got hot outside then left a gooey mess on my dashboard. Waste of money Complete Failure May 4, 2016 Total waste of money. It has lost all its adhesive ability after just two weeks. Worked great - for a week. Now it's as sticky as a sheet of glass.I haven't experienced such a poor product in years. And our weather has not been hot nor cold here in NC in early May, so it hasn't been baked or frozen, it's just useless. Not suitable for the dash. October 12, 2015 Gave this as a gift to someone, and at first it was awesome. Then summer temperatures came, and even though the car was covered most of the time, this little pad melted on the dash ! Something that is going to be on your dash should be able to withstand warm temperatures ! | 10% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
