Blendmount for Uniden R3?
I'm looking to buy a Blendmount for my upcoming Uniden R3 purchase. Which model on the Blendmount site is the one for a 2017 X5M? There's seven on there...
And if anyone has pictures, please post!

See pics, fits very well. If I were to do it again, I'd get the 12" MirrorTap for a little more wiggle room.

Oh never heard of uniden radar detectors before. Glad someone got a blend mount to work. What made you go with them and not the usual products (V1, escort, etc)

I was considering getting a R3 and using the Blendmount with mirror tap in my F85. It almost looks like an OEM Factory Accessory.
How easy/difficult was the install?

I have escort 360 since they first comes out with arrows. Very happy with these arrows. The R3 reviews are very impressive for the long range. But I am wonder will the R3 picks up lots of junk during city highway? Because my 360 is silence! I also use Blendmount, love it!

Note, I used the rain sensor to tap into as the normal mirror harness only put out 11V DC, rain sensor was 13V DC. I verified this with a multimeter based off this: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1167114 If I were to do it again, I'd have it done in 5 minutes. Took me 6 due to the multimeter part. Just make sure you buy the RIGHT Blendmount for your F85.

I had use Escort brand only and I never try others. Escort Max 360 is currently on my F85. But I also have Escort Redline and Passport 9500 on my other cars. The Redline throw more false alarm than other two because is a long range radar like the Uniden R3. so far all Escort models never let me down! But I may try the R3 if they have update version with arrows. Because arrows does help alot to know were the hell these KA come from.

I wonder if Uniden could do arrows via software. It should know already based on which sensor (front or back) detects it.

Haha! I had that in my AMG. A remote switch in my cigarette lighter to turn it off when needed.

Which model blendmount did you use? Looks like BNR-2003R model would fit, but I am not sure.
