Default Valentine 1 Rear View Mirror Mount / Install

Has anyone successfully installed the Valentine 1 radar with a rear view mount on a 2012 S4?

Considering this mount which is for a BMW, but don't know if the diameter of the opening is large enough to encompass the rear view mirror of the Audi.

I have purchased the mount today from Kevin at EAS, I bought the item knowing that it is for the BMW, but after careful review it seems like the mount will work for a similar rear view mirror like the one on the 2012 S4. I will take some pictures of the install if it works accordingly if anyone is interested on the outcome.

let me know if the mount fits with our cars, I'll probably buy it if it does. THanks!

I'm also interested. I had a blendmount for my V1 in my G37, it worked great! I can't express how disappointed I was to discover that it wasn't compatible with the S4's mirror, and that I had to go back to the suction cup mount.

That was my same problem, I have been speaking to the engineers at Blendmount and nothing is on the road map for a S4 release. Crossing my fingers that this mount can work

Trust me, I don't think they shipped it fast enough for me to get this installed.
