Disappointment: Auto & Vehicle Electronics

The app is just a subscription to its service. Nothing works without a subscription. I expected it to work in conjunction with a GPS device and learn local door openers and motion sensors. It will not. I returned it.

Pros
  • Sleek Design
Cons
  • ---

Mute button is stuck

Ordered two of them with the same problem. The false alarm disable button doesn't work half the time. This forces you to press the button a little harder, causing the button to get stuck in the pressed position. You need the button to work like the original cable.

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Volume

Advertised item NOT received. TWICE

I specifically ordered this because it said it was a straight cable version and NOT a cigarette lighter plug. This is clear from the product description. "DIRECT POWER SUPPLY - Remove the cable hanging from the windshield and power the radar detector directly from the fuse box." But I didn't get that, so I asked for a replacement and got the cigarette lighter version a second time . The product is NOT what is advertised.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Security

Garbage in the form of a string

I contacted the escort and "Due to the large number of letters, we are delayed in the response time." It's a nice feeling, and the shiny LED on it is bright and suitable for a 12V AUX connection. When the radar detector is plugged in, it restarts continuously, making it difficult for you to get back the "extra" money for the month's subscription. I lost $50 because I stupidly paid for a year :(. Escort was a world famous market leader but once they teamed up with Beltronics and Cobra you can'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Has been damaged

ATTENTION** The product does not correspond to the picture.

I bought this item thinking it would connect DIRECTLY to the car. The product in the photo is not what I received. The item delivered was an OUTLET cable. I am a big fan of Escort products and have used several different models of radar detectors over the past 10+ years. I'm just disappointed that I didn't receive the item I expected. This review is only for those who wish to purchase this listed product. This is not a reflection of escort that I would give 5 stars. After this review, the image

Pros
  • Durable Finish
Cons
  • Durable

No worse than its predecessor!

The first thing to note is that this phone isn't as reliable as its predecessor. Feels cheap, low quality plastic. The mute button took a few clicks to activate the mute function on my radar detector and now it doesn't work at all. I need to turn off the alarm on my phone through the tracking app if the app doesn't crash every time a radar is reported. Which brings me to my next complaint, app. GARBAGE! It always crashes no matter what phone I use, I have an iPhone 8plus and an iPhone 7 to work

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • So far so good
