Hi. I recently broke my Valentine one windshield suction mount. It fell on my seat and I accidentally sat on it. Did a search on Amazon and saw this sun visor mount. I wonder if any here has used this. I want to know if it is compatible with 997 visors. Thanks.
This is a very good bracket. I just installed one in my 997 ordered from bumperplugs. I have used the blendmount in my previous cars, but I like the g bracket better. Once installed, the bracket is in the correct level and centered position by default and is very solid. No pivot points to adjust or tinker with. I like the bracket a lot.

How does it look when you remove the V1?
I hate the suction cups, but I can tuck the cable up and there is no evidence of a detector when I pop it into the glove compartment.
Kicking an old thread with something I haven't seen before.
I hacked the suction cup mount with some clips that let it hang from the headliner:
I might make a nicer (fabric wrapped) version, but for now this will do.
I have it hanging behind the sun visor on the drivers side, much as I've seen many folks do with the suction cups. This has same effect without putting something on the actual windshield (which is technically not ok in California). Since it's covered by the visor it's stealthish, though I'd still think it would be noticed if it didn't keep me honest at the wrong moment.
For wiring I ended up using some pre-existing vampire taps right by the front fuse box. I removed a passport remote from there that appears to have been part of this CPO car. Not sure why someone did that rather than using an "add a fuse" since they were right there already.
It's my understanding Blendmount is illegal in CA due to its obstructing vision. Besides that, the ones I've seen do obstuct too much for me.
I mount my V1 to the upper left of my mirror (with suction cups). Technically still illegal since it's not in the allowed corners, but relatively unnnoticeable.
I mounted mine using the suction cup base and the visor clip. I straightened the end of the visor clip and drilled a few holes in the suction cup mount and bolted the two pieces together.
The flattened out visor clip slips under the head liner and I wired it into the mirror.

A couple of adjustments I did after installing it was putting a couple of self adhesive pads on the visor clip where it was in contact with the windshield.
Also I found that the detector would bounce a bit when I was driving on a rough road so I carved a piece of high density foam into a shape to fill the void in the middle of the visor clip.
