MAX 360 ESCORT MOUNTED RADAR DETECTOR

[MO GMC]

Hi Everyone,

 

I am interested in buying the max 360 radar detector for my 2016 sierra i was wondering if anyone has already installed one into there truck? I am worried about the size of the unit. I like all of the features the 360 has to offer, however I am worried it is going to stick out and look out of place. Anyone have any pictures?

Not sure I can help you with the size, but I can help you with information about it's performance.

Are you aware that Escorts will lock out real police radar along with false alarms?

The escort MAX 360 will lock out police radar also?

[VeronaGMC]

Having a quiet radar detector is wonderful however yes the 360 will also lockout police radar.

And they are very slow at picking up quick trigger and instant on etc...

Anyone look into the Radenso XP pro? Small and compact and looks to be also a great product.

Seems to be a very good product but very expensive.

Valentine 1 is great but can be a bit chatty.

They can be calmed down with apps that are currently out.

You get used to it being chatty, just think of it as having a woman in your car at all time... telling you about everything she sees. At least there is a mute button

Not sure if that was the best selling point;)

I use the blendmount and have mine hard wired into the powered rear view mirror. I can take it down/store it when parked in under 3 seconds.

 

I'm running custom sweeps for Ka band and I love it. In the city around shopping centers I do get the K/X band false alerts, but on the highway the Valentine One destroys the competition. Plus only firmware upgrades, won't need a new radar every year.

 

I recently drove from Austin to New Orleans and from Austin to Corpus Christi and back. Cruised 90 mph the whole way there thanks to my V1. Saw a trooper pull over someone keeping up with me....I slowed down bc my alert came on...sucks to suck!

 

If you have Android you can even use the free gps-app w/ V1 connection. iPhone has a $10 fee.

 

10/10 for blendmount, hard wire, and V1 with Bluetooth connection.

I prefer to just use the included mount myself. I have one in each vehicle and they work great. The only reason I would get a blendmount is if I lived in a place like CA where having anything stuck to your windshield is illegal. I've had my V1 for about 10 years now... don't think mine has Bluetooth capabilities...

I have my Valentine 1 mounted in the same location works excellent. I looked at the passport max as well and have had good luck with escort products in the past. The fact remains... If you want protection over all else. The true essence of a detector. The v1 is the way to go. Just my 2 cents.
