I have a Uniden R7 and Escorts, recommendations on mounts and is it possible to tap the power from the rearview mirror?

This is the mount I used. Didn't matter what I used, but anytime I parked my vehicle in the sun, the suction cups would give way. So I mounted it using this. Works awesome, and made for Escorts with the universal magnetic plate.

And yes, you can tap the mirror wires, but I caution, mine kept coming out a bunch, and some of them are extremely small wires, which were extremely brittle. I ended up securing them quite well just to keep them in the harness and intact.
