MJDO Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Apologies if this has been discussed before but I can't find any threads on it. I've just bought an Escort Passport 9500ix radar detector and am looking for a mount for it. RAM has a magnetic mount plate that will work well, but I'm a little leery of using a magnetic device with electronic equipment. The ix uses some form of memory as it uses history to adjust the signals. Anyone used this combination or have an opinion on using a magnetic plate? Thanks! Link to comment
eddd Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Since the detector case is not metal, what will you use as a mount so the magnet would work? Link to comment
MJDO Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Comes with an additional metal plate that you stick to the bottom of the detector. Link to comment
areyouolsen Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I use the 8500x with the RAM mount and haven't had any problems. I don't have the memory feature, though. Link to comment
FLrider Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I used it with my V1. Worked perfectly. Easy to remove it when you dismount and want to store it in your cases or jacket. Just a little twist. I don't have it on my new bike but I still have it in the " parts I'm going to sell someday" box... Link to comment
tvpierce Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 If it's the memory you're worried about... don't. The detector isn't using magnetic media to store the data. Link to comment
MJDO Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks Jeff -- that is what I was worried about. Link to comment
na1g Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 3M Dual-lok works great. Like Velcro on steroids. Cheap, non-magnetic, durable. pete Link to comment
TF1200RT Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I have the Escort 8500 and I use the Ram magnetic mount with no problems. Perfect for when you want to remove your expensive equipment from the bike so that it doesn't become someone else's property. Link to comment
biggy Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I use a Techmount on my K1300GT. It fits the newer style switch assembly on most of the new models. The plate is rectangular and I mount the detector with Velcro. Solid and easy to mount. Link to comment
