🚗 Escort Passport S55 Radar Detector: Extended Long Range with Escort Live App, AutoMute, AutoSensitivity, Audible Alerts, LED Display, Signal Strength Meter | Black Review

The GOOD thing is that this detector is extremely stable. It suffered numerous tears from anger from the windshield and spikes on the floorboard, and it's still working as it did on day one. Kudos for that I guess. The BAD thing is that it's a Honda/Acura detector and sometimes a Chrysler van. If you are near any of the above vehicles, the K and Ka bands will always be on due to their bumper sensors. If you drive on a sunny day, the laser detector will EXPLODE AT FULL POWER at random intervals,

After research it turned out that this radar detector uses the exact same chip as the X70 and is half the price. Field tests show this matches and even surpasses the X70 and Passport maximum (four times more expensive) in detecting Ka (70% of all radar guns used in the US). Corresponds to X70 at all other wavelengths. So what, it has no color screen and no speed limit. Do you need a radar detector for this? The auto mute and sensitivity mode work great. If you want a really good speed camera…

Don't waste money on something that costs less. I have had many radar detectors and a few were cheap and a few years ago I was very happy with the Passport 8500 and this model works just as well as my old model 8500. I have just returned from a long trip after almost a month of use and it worked great. Several miles ahead of time for K and KA radars. I had a speed trap installed by Fl Hwy Patrol a few weeks ago and was in the lead car going over a bridge, they were on the other side with speed…

To add to my review I have had it for a few months now, 5 speed cameras spotted - 0 speed camera tickets Also spotted dozens of police cars long before I even saw them. First review: This detector works very well. I would say it paid off. There are 2 reasons I didn't give it 5 stars. First, the window mount is a bit flimsy. When I used it, I was still leaning against the dashboard. I don't even use it now. I glued it to one of those sticky pads. Second, the display is outdated. It is red when…

Relatively cheap, easy to use and effective. What more can you ask for? Sure, there are some false positives around town, but with a mute button mounted right at the base of the chord AND an auto-mute feature, it's not bad. Also, I'd rather be angry for a few seconds than get a $200 ticket. My escort paid off in about 3 weeks: I was driving down the road at 55mph approaching 70 and suddenly the Ka-Range alarm started going insane. I didn't see anything until I walked another 2 miles down the…

I've been using this detector for about 9 months now and have become quite an active supporter. I recommend this detector to everyone in the market to buy it. I went down a hill within the first week I had it. My speed was 75 and the limit was 50. In my state, this would have easily exceeded a $200+ fine, but my speed camera detector was able to give me enough warning to slow down even though the cop had just turned his on Radar. 0.8/10 for an alarm that plays. I've found that at full volume…

Don't waste your money below this price.

Addendum to my review: I've had it for months now, 5 speed traps - speed camera tickets 0. Also found dozens of police cars long before I saw them. Original Rating: This detector works very well. I would say it paid off. There are 2 reasons I didn't give it 5 stars. First, the window mount is a bit flimsy. When I used it, I was still leaning against the dashboard. I don't even use it now. I glued it to one of those sticky pads. Second, the display is outdated. It is red when scanning and red…
