Valentine 1 mounting options?

Where are you folks mounting your radar detectors?
Valentine1 is what I have.
I was hoping for a mirror mount similar to what I had in my 12 Corvette would be an option, but probably not.
She's an 18 1LE and doesn't come with the rear view mirror with all the bells and whistles.
I don't see any power plugs in the back of it that I can tap into.
I'm guessing th PDR camera is in the mirror as well, so blocking the lens with a mount comes into play as well.

Notnsure about you guys, but I didn’t have a good experience with the blendmount with the 6th Gen Camaro. Mine Kept loosening itself and even fell once. Looking for other options

Was it an issue that Locktite could fix?

Just not really enough room on the factory stem to have it. It also hampered adjustability of my rear view mirror. I talked to others that hVe has similar issues.
