Just wanted to share my experience with Du-Ha...

I am floored here. As I mentioned a few posts ago, I got a new Du-Ha under seat storage bin and loved it, however was a bit unthrilled with the strap mounting set up. I sent an email to them asking if I had installed it incorrectly or if there was a better way I could mount this. I had a ton of movement side to side and even front to back.

 

I got an email back today with a number for one of the owners. I called him and he asked what mount I have and said that they just redesigned a new style of mount vs the washer and strap set up I have. They too had noticed on some of the new trucks it was becoming an issue and as a company designed a better set up. He then asked for my info and is sending me the new style mount hardware.

 

In this day and age, not all companies seem to have any service, let alone service like that. I am thrilled that they stepped up to try and make me happy. From what he explained the new mount set up should solve all the concerns and it is the new standard mount for our trucks.

 

I'm now a Du-Ha customer for life.

Just wanted to share.

same problem just called number off the website they said they would send me one

 

thanks for the info

Hey Brother - SemperFi! That looks great. Needs a couple big crossed riffles though ;-)

Is that a perminent decal shop I can get a hold of somehow? I'd like to put some advertising for my Giant Blue Fin Tuna fishing charterboat with some Flags - USMC, American and Gadsden. Maybe crossed riffles on one side and crossed bent butt rods on the other

I didn't use the Blendmount direct wire because I added the Escort Live cord. I have used the direct wire cords before and they are very easy to install... you just have to find a pos + and neg - source. There is another post somewhere on here that says which wires will work. I would check it with a multi meter to be sure.

 

Mine is direct wired to the fuse box. It was very east to install, the front windshield area of the headliner is almost like a shelf and you tuck the cord in there. The A pillar trim is easy to take off and then I back wired the X3 plug on the fuse box... the purple/white wire gives you power with the ignition turned on.

 

Comparing radar detectors...the Escort Solo S3 (cordless) versus the Escort 9500ix? I guess it depends on what you are looking for... the S3 is battery powered by AA batteries. Convenient for a clean installation and for travelers who want to take protection with them. It lacks laser protection! but people could argue that by the time a detector gives you a laser warning you are already tagged. I like the idea that I may stand a chance if he is lasing another car or if he's had to much coffee and donuts and can't keep the spot on me. :)

 

The 9500ix is hands down the best detector I have ever owned, I actually have two of them... one in my Denali and one in my TBSS. The one in my Chevy is hardwired in with the Smartcord, I'm considering getting a mirror mount but right now I just windshield mount it. The one in my Denali has the Escort Live Cord. The 9500ix is a GPS based Radar/Lidar detector that you can download/upload user submitted speed traps, cams and known/false radar locations to/from your detector. When you add the Escort Live cord you join a community of users via your smart phone for a map/location based alert system. I have found it to be helpful in making me aware of potential traps/ambushes before I drive and during my drive.

 

Escort has a a newer Passport Max detector that is very good. If you were a 9500ix guy there is a high chance you won't like the Max, not necessarily because of performance but more of a preference thing. The Max is also Escort Live capable but they don't currently make a Blendmount for the Max.

 

As far as powering a dash cam... the blend mount harness has an RJ-11 (telephone connector) on it for the Escort/Bel series radar detectors that you push the pins/wires into the back of your mirror plug. There is normally enough room to do this without damaging the car's plug or overloading the circuit. I would caution that pushing two sets of wires into a single source would be risky. I saw another post where the guy got the necessary voltage out of the overhead console for his GoPro camera. I bought a USB power/inverter off Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GQ48FCY/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that I plan to wire directly to the fuse box. Since the headliner is so open on the front edge I figure that I can run a USB cable up there as well. I thought about adding the ports to the over head console but I think the level of work may be moderate to get it all put together and this approach is just as clean... I had exposed wires.

The Blendmount sales person told me that if I switch from my Escort Solo down the road, they can sell me just the new spring clip for the Max attachment so I don't have to buy a whole new mount. I just ordered the Blendmount and 12" wireing pigtail for the future and will play around with the dash cam wiring if/when I get a chance because I hate running wires around the windshield like that, especially with my assist handles :-) but I may have to if I can figure it out. Getting to old to be crawling around under a dash - LOL

Is where I got it from but the guys below do much better work. They'll do the printed see through window stickers and vehicle wraps. They also do colored Prost instead one color.

I'd go with the bayou graphix guys for a professional look. I just happened to be at trader village.
