Prime Delivery • 30-Day ReturnsLycoGear Radar Detector Rearview Mirror Stem Mount for Uniden R1 R2 R3 R4 R7 DF1 DFR2 DFR3 DFR5 DFR6 DFR7 DFR8 DFR9 Radar Detector (for Uniden Models Only)
The LycoGear rearview-mirror mount is an aftermarket mounting solution designed for a wide range of Uniden radar detectors. Instead of using suction cups on the windshield, it clamps onto the vehicle’s rearview-mirror stem (the stalk that connects the mirror to the car), offering a more secure and stable mount. Installation is tool-free and relatively quick — you simply clamp the device onto the mirror stem (assuming sufficient stem length) and mount your radar detector onto the cradle. According to sellers and distributors, this mount helps reduce the drawbacks of suction-cup mounts (e.g., falling off, vibrations) and offers a cleaner, more discreet installation.

Key Considerations
A clamp-based mirror stem mount avoids many of the failure modes of suction cups (loss of suction over time, detachment under vibration, temperature-driven weakening, etc.).
Stability reduces vibration and movement of the detector — important for sensor performance, fewer false alerts, and long-term mounting reliability.
Not all cars’ rear-view mirror stems are built the same: some are short, some are angled or tapered, some might not allow enough space. A mount requiring ~1 inch of stem clearance may not fit all vehicles.
Before purchase, confirm your vehicle's mirror type and whether there’s enough “stem” behind the mirror to clamp the mount.
Radar detectors vary in size and mounting-cradle geometry. A good mount list should explicitly list compatible detector models.
Always check that your exact detector model number appears in the mount’s compatibility list.
Using a mirror-stem clamp avoids the weaknesses of suction cups. A mechanically secure mount means the radar detector is less likely to shift, vibrate, or fall — even on rough roads or under acceleration.Because the mount relies on clamping to your car’s mirror stem, the stem must have enough exposed length and appropriate diameter/shape. Without that, the mount may not fit or may be insecure.
These factors represent the most critical aspects that will impact your satisfaction with this product.
Customer Reviews
When I started out looking for rear view mirror mounts I saw prices on one popular model at just under $100. No way! Then I spotted this unit. Yes, this is plastic compared to the aluminum of the more expensive model
It worked so well on my dodge 2500 that I bought one for my prius and another for my Tesla.
