Radar Question
 

So i'm in the market for a radar detector. I was looking at the Escort Passport Max radar and Laser detector. Anyone have it and can share their experience with it? Is it really worth the money or is there something else out there better than this?

many threads on this, but it comes down to the escort max vs valentine one. can't really go wrong with either.

hey enkei- who is that in your avatar? :confused:

thanks. I just wanted to know more on the escort passport max unit itself. I'm reading reviews and some users are giving it a 1 star which concern me. Most likely i will pull the trigger on the Escort Max.

chances are those are escort haters. :shakes head:

i prefer my V1 for the arrows. detectors just beeping with no directionality is like a baby crying not being able to tell wat's wrong with him. :shakes head: at least point to where the problem is.

my dingaling wet
or mouth dry
or tummy hungry or aching

instead of waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! :crying: (escort)

stfu! :mad:

hahaha ok fair enough...lol

its too bad BestBuy does not carry V1s.

Read the full review, and the knowledge base of the reviewer to see if they even know what they're talking about before calling their review credible.

Problem is people become fixated on the arrows and don't scan actively, which hinders reaction time anyways, negating the point of the arrows. :icon17:

That's where you should just adopt the all encompassing policy of:

The biggest mistake is to go on this or other radar detector type forums is that they are fanatics. There are many people who just buy a radar detector and it serves them well for years but if you read up, these idiots compare one radar detector with another, buy the latest that comes out, drive with two detectors hooked up and then say one is better for this or that.

I have the max and it works quite well. before it, I had another one, an old Whistler that served me well enough for years. Unless every time you get on the street you speed and also have a bit of paranoia about you, any decent radar and a good pair of eyes along with some info on where cops generally hang out (overpasses, medians,ramps etc.) and you will be fine.

so you are saying you are one of them idiots? :confused:

:p

Well just to update the thread, I ended up going with the Escort Passport Max. Its out for delivery today - we'll see how it is, I'll try it out this weekend. Hopefully it will come to good use.

I have the max. It's range is more than the 9500iX. The only kinda crappy part was that you should update it as soon as you get it and you have to play with the settings for it to not be annoying.
Worst part is that it isn't as loud as the 9500iX. So if you're BLASTING some Jethro Tull... I don't know if you're going to hear the radar detector
