Are there any radar detector mounts for the Model Y?

[LBM4]

Blendmount now says they are Beta testing and it won't be until sometime in June before you can order.

I think I'm going to get a crappy Amazon one until Blendmount gets theirs done.... Which may not be until 2024 at this rate.

Funny part is that the amount of money they could make selling this to Tesla’s…. You’d think they’ll be speeding this one along.

You'd think!?! They have literally been putting it off for 2 years! Imagine how many orders they would have had in that timeframe!

+1 I'd jump on a Blendmount for the Model Y for my Uniden R7.

Has anyone figured out what the connectors are on the cigarette lighter for male/female - so we don't have to tap/cut into the harness?

Here’s a mount that goes on the center display for the Uniden R7: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1475367450/quick-disconnect-radar-detector-mount

I tap the red wire from VCright so it turns on when the brake pedal is first pressed and off when you leave the drivers seat.

Can you clarify where this wire is and how to tap it? I was hoping there is a switched power in the mirror cameras housing like ive tapped in many other vehicles with a simple tap.

12v Switched?

Take a pic of the pins and tell me what you have going to what Pin 86-center console switch wire (brown) Pin 85- ground (I’ve tried ground different places) Pin 30- 12v constant (blue center console 12v or red VCleft wire) Pin 87- use this pin to power accessory

At this point, don't ever count on Blendmount making a radar detector mount for the Model Y. They've been in "testing" mode for nearly a year.

I would get one of these and tap into it. It’s how I got accessory power to my frunk. Amazon says it won’t fit, because it’s made for a Jeep. It fits, I have one.

Where does the harness connect on the Tesla?

Thanks for this, will try this out. Although, probably not a good idea in the event of a crash.

It goes behind the lighter outlet in the center console.

Hi Scott,
We had to make one last change to the mount and it should now be ready to go by Sept 28th.

Jeez - with that much R&D, I wonder if it'll stay at $160. Might not be worth it.

Lol, I'll believe it when I see it. They've been saying this for over 2 years.

I got the mount @wootness posted above. High quality and very well finished. Due to its' lower position, it seems to get delayed signals or lower than normal signals, but still very functional. My only concern is that it could fly off in the event of an accident.

I used a Vicseed Magsafe mount to mount my radar detector. Works really well!

Any magnetic based attachment has a risk of flying off in the event of an accident, but the interlocking design of the mount I created (where it provides some shear capability) drastically limits this from occurring. For example, any MagSafe/etc based mount (such as the Vicseed) will immediately fly off since there is no interlocking interface.

Been trying to hold off on another solution but I just checked the website and availability got pushed back another month to November 15th. Not sure this is ever going to be available.

Color me surprised.
