So I am trying to get the right radar detector mount for the Supra.

The website I am ordering through, shows 2 models, based on the type of rear view mirror.

Can someone confirm which mirror setup is used on the US launch models?

I am guessing it is the “special mirror,” but I wanted to confirm. Thanks.

Is there a plug going to the mirror which has power and ground to power a radar detector?

There is, but I am leaving that to the install company to deal with. I was debating tapping into the mirror on my own, but then I would lose out on having a mute/memory remote switch.

Decided to just let them install it all of it, with the blackvue, and also setup the remote switch.

Blendmount does offer plugs to tap directly into the mirror. If that was someones only goal, I would say it looks like a 1 job.

Changed my mind overnight, ordered the hardwire mirror tap. The detector has gps lockout memory and is pretty quiet now that it knows my usual route.

I guess it will be a little bit of a pain when on road trips (have to reach up to the detector to mute it or add to its memory), but in the end, I decided to skip the remote install for a cleaner look and the fact that now the remote will not have to be drilled/mounted somewhere.

I may change my mind tomorrow...

I searched blendmount for the proper plug, then ordered off Amazon as they were the same price.
