I liked FX44AU's mount but that option wouldn't work for my '11. I have the V1 with blendmount and was wanting to mount CTS2 above mirror but there isn't room with out blocking the top 1/3 of the mirror.

After a little digging around I ended up getting a few pieces of RAM MOUNTS and came up with something that'll work for me. The only thing I don't like is I can see a piece of the mount. I am going to by a shorter section to hide all mounts behind mirror.

I cut off the original mount from the suction mount and epoxied it to the ram mount. I ordered the go pro mounting ones to get a little better adjustment but it isn't in yet.

Between my TX TAG and the super duty emblem in the center, it is not very noticeable from exterior. I also blacked out the silver trim to make it less noticeable.

Hopefully this will help out someone who is looking for an alternative mounting option.

Parts I used:
•Ram Mount Composite Double Socket Arm for 1-Inch Ball Bases (x2 I am going to get 1 short one to swap out the one attached to mirror)
•RAM Zinc Coated U-Bolt Mounting Base with 1 inch Ball
•RAM Mounts 2 7/16" Flat Surface Mount RAM-B-202U
•Ram Mount Double 1-Inch Ball Adapter

I order these to see if it will allow me to get better adjustments. They are not in yet.

•Action Mount® Universal Conversion Adapter for GoPro Mounts, w/camera Screw (1/4-Inch 20)

Tint the top of the windshield so you don't see everything from outside and you won't really notice the mount from inside with the tint there either

UPDATED MOUNT

Turns out the weight of the ram mounts was a little heavy for the mirror. Every bump it would slight move mirror down. I took all the ram mounts off and used the go pro mount that I ordered. I was able to mount it under the headliner almost in the same spot as before.
