Can't use the older type of suction cup holders because the max360 will not fit on those.

Upgraded my 9500 last week to a Max 360. Overall, I'm quite pleased. Fewer false positives, and the arrows are a nice addition. Had a Blendmount for my 9500, but had to change out the bottom piece to get it to fit the 360. The spacing seems a little tight though because the new radar is so BIG. Maybe Blendmount has another piece I can get to lower the 360 a bit.

Which mirror tap did you end up buying? Can you post pics? Does the mirror tap come with instructions on how to install it?

Anyone install their Max 360 with the Direct Wire Smart Cord? I want to do this but it'd be my first time doing anything like this so wanted to see if anyone has any instructions or pics of their install. Thanks
