Which Blendmount for V1?

In anticipation of my 2014 M5, I was hoping to have a Blendmount in hand when it arrives. Unfortunately I can't determine specifically which mount to buy. Anyone out there able to list specifics? Thanks in advance. Steve

Just wondering, why not just hard wire and tuck it in under the visor? I have a blendmount in my X3, and my V1 is really conspicuous.

There's a great post on here about that, Mkid I think. Problem i have with the mirror option is that you still have the main unit to deal with, specifically for the V1. The totally stealth unit and install is a big investment that I'm not willing to make, especially on a lease. No question the radar mirror is the cleanest option though. Thx.

there use to be a company called Stealth Cords.

Is there a company now that makes a stealth cord that will plug right into the V1 and go into some power where the mirror is?

V1 comes with the cord necessary to hardwire.

There use to be a company that had a shorter hardwire cable that plugged directly into the V1 and right into the sunroof or overhead electricals does anyone here have a Hardwired V1 in their M5?
