About the BlendMount® BGX-2036 Custom Billet Aluminum Radar Detector Mount
European cockpits don’t leave much room for aftermarket clutter. The new BlendMount BGX-2036 is the Specialty Series mount built for select BMW rearview-mirror stems and the Genevo MAX hybrid magnetic holder — so the MAX sits in the dead space around the mirror, not on a suction cup in the glass.
CNC-machined from black-anodized aircraft-grade aluminum and made in the USA, the BGX-2036 gives the MAX a factory-installed look, vibration-free stability, and a clear path for radar, laser, and 5th-generation GPS. No windshield beacon. No bounce. Just a clean BMW-grade install.
The BlendMount BGX-2036 is the new Specialty 2036 Series mount engineered for the Genevo MAX. Unlike the Standard 2001R clamp used on most American and Asian cylindrical stems, the 2036 Series is machined for a specific European-style mirror stem — BMW Mirror ID BMW-017 — found on select BMW models with manual or auto-dimming mirrors. Left-hand-drive vehicles only.
It attaches to the rearview-mirror stem and uses the magnet from the MAX’s included hybrid magnetic holder. Click the detector on and off in seconds. Leave the mount on the mirror. Take the MAX with you.
Designed, machined, and assembled in California by J28 Design, the BGX-2036 is built from lightweight, durable, black-anodized aluminum. Multiple adjustment points let you set height, reach, and angle so the compact Genevo MAX (101 × 68 × 33 mm) sits high and forward: unobstructed driver sightline, unobstructed sky view for GPS / GLONASS / Galileo / QZSS, and maximum coverage through the windshield.
Pair it with a BlendMount MirrorTap on auto-dimming mirrors and the power lead disappears behind the mirror and headliner. The result looks like it came from Munich — not from a suction cup.
Compatible BlendMount® Vehicle Mirror ID [Left Hand Drive Vehicle Only]
This BlendMount® BGX-2036 mount attaches securely to the rear-view mirror stem of select BMW models with manual or auto-dimming mirrors.
