I am interested in this product as well but am looking for some more information from you guys who have them! I have an Escort 8500 X50 Black and my truck is a 2011 F150 FX4. The information I am looking for is how easy is it to get the power to the radar detector from the mirror. I wish I could see an installation instruction sheet from that website before I buy it. Thanks!

I posted an installation set of instructions, but this comment has the info you ask for:

I just installed the Rogue Mount for my Escort 8500 x50. Simple install. My only complaint is the hardwire connectors were a little flimsy. Glad I accidentally ordered two of the plug in cords. Followed the instructions in this thread. I'm pleased so far. Oh it was only $65 about $20 cheaper than the Blendmount. Unplugged the mirror and removed the yellow guard...plugged in the ground connection spade in pin slot 1/Black/Ground and the yellow wire spade/power in pin slot 2/Blue and White wire. Replugged the plug in the mirror plug slot and viola...see below.

Just installed mine in about 15 minutes ordered a mirror mount for my Cobra radar detector and tapped into switched power up above behind the lights, sunglasses, and window sunroof bezel. Amazed how easy it was. Tapped into black and yellow on left connector for ground and on right connector tapped into blue wire for switched power.
