Radar / Dashcam set up

I'm looking for the best way to mount radar/dash cam.

Mine are:

1) Passport Escort 9500ix

2) BlackVue 900S


There are too many wires going on currently (radar via cigaret lighter, camera via rear), very messy set up.

Is there a way to mount this without dropping headliner?

Thanks!

Blendmount makes bracket for Blackvue. It attaches to the rear view mirror.
I don’t have this setup at the moment as I’m looking to get f85 soon, but I used it for my Redline XL back in a day on F15 and it looked really good, very professional.
Radar was powered from the mirror itself.
Also Eddie M Cars on YouTube has a walkthrough how to wire Blackvue 2-Chanel in F85, look it up

As Upurock said, the BlendMount is the way to go. I've got one in my X5 currently with a Uniden R7 and it's great. It's the 4th BlendMount I've bought and I can vouch for the fit and finish.

Uniden R3 with Blendmount and Mirror Tap. Great clean setup.

Looks slick! I just ordered mine. Was it easy to find which ports to plug in the mirror tap connectors? Do you recall which ones you plugged into? Pics?

I have V1Gen2 and Dr900x both on blendmount. I modified dr900x mount to fit along with V1 and ran wires for dashcam through the headliner.
