New Escort Passport Redline Radar Detector
Escort Passport Redline Radar Detector
Given Escort's recent public announcement of the up and coming
Escort Passport Redline radar detector, I am heartened to read in their announcement that the Escort Passport Redline radar detector will be all about performance with an emphasis on no-holds-barred sensitivity and (I hope) quickness and a de-emphasis on being heavily filtered (to reduce falses). It sounds like the new Escort Redline model will finally unlock the potential of the M3 platform in a windshield-mount.
Generally, this is something that I believed has been historically accomplished by the Beltronics brand with the models of the
Beltronics STi Driver and the
Beltronics STi-R radar detectors.
I am pleased that with the Escort Passport Redline, Escort customers will now have a viable alternative to the otherwise
Escort Passport 9500ix (a radar detector with an emphasis on filtering and being quiet). The only other available from Escort was the $1600
Escort Passport 9500ci customer installed remote.
At least now with the Escort Passport Redline, extreme performance appears to be finally coming in a small package.
Now I am waiting for the addition of two things, GPS capability (for photo detection and variable sensitivity) and
Shifter ZR4 interfacing capability.
I still believe that model would be the
ultimate windshield-mount radar detector.
I trust, in time, we'll see that model, as well.
