^ $22? considering that the escort and valentine use telephone jacks, you can make yourself.
imho, it's a simple DIY. short of going into details on how i made mine (and another 2is member's), you just need to know which wires to tap and how to tap.
the DIY guide shows a lot of options, but for (non-wire cutting) hardwiring there's really only one way.
i'd share more info, but then i'd be giving away my "secret".

There are 3 different products listerd here ( I was confused at first too) I ordered mine (the one shown by Javier) from the email address listed MIKE3348@roadrunner.com for $32 shipped and I should have it soon.
The BlendMount kit was a bit more expensive at $49 not including shipping, and I didn't like how the Stationary Z Mount sold on the countryjoycrafts site positioned the radar detector ahead of the rear view mirror in the pics they have on their site.
IMO I felt that the mount I ordered did what the basic BV1 BlendMount kit did at a lower price and had good reviews by a few members on here.

Actually the Blendmount one is $69.00, not $49
This makes Mike3348's for $32 shipped even more enticing!

I can't remember how much is labor and how much is parts, but the overall cost was $1495 for the Laser Interceptor Quad, and $2200 for the Passport 9500Ci (which includes the Escort ZR4 laser shifters as well).
I would guess the labor component is $400 for the Laser Interceptor and $700 for the Passport 9500Ci. They could install the Passport for $400 as well but the mirror adds $300. Overall it was about 2 full days of work.
Also if you are buying laser interceptors, you should go to a dealer who has their own lidar guns for testing purposes. A lot of places do a shoddy installation and the interceptors don't work properly. Mine are 100% effective because they were aligned to perfection by testing against 5 lidar guns.
