Hey i just bought this sweet 2013 ram for stupid cheap, i really like it. my 1st ram. just totalled the gmc i had for a decade so the timing was great.



whats the best option for mounting a radar? i would like a dash cam too, keeping this in mind what should i be looking at?

i checked out the blendmount site and it only goes back to the 2015 ram, nothing earlier

i have an old belltronics detector that picks up radar from miles away for some reason. works for me so i figure ill continue to use it unless i should go another route?

in the past id get that metal 3m bracket on ebay for like 7 bux. always worked good but i have a nicer truck now and interested in other options and a dash cam. looks like i could just tap into the mirror is that right? any ideas?

thanks!

Check these guys out, unless U already have a unit. I would still try and find a way if you have a unit get it up high behind mirror.

Yes, turkeybird, that was a funny. The question was "radar mount options", and I couldn't help myself. Talk about the memories, how about the TR6.

Depending on what you want in a dash cam, I just had the Thinkware U3000 front and rear set up installed a couple weeks back and it's outstanding. I also opted for their 256GB micro SD card, too.

I had a Momento M7 front and rear, and it was okay, but gave me some issues. I drive a lot and up here in Ontario and Quebec there are some dang dumb drivers, so reliability is paramount for me, as is clarity.

As for a radar set up...oh do I wish we could have those toys here in Ontario. Our provincial furors have banned their usage, say for Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia.
