MAX 360 ESCORT MOUNTED RADAR DETECTOR

I just looked into this and the reduced price is $290. I think for that much I would just buy a new one and use one as a backup... not much of a discount IMO.

It's very hard to use an old one if it doesn't have the updates.

The new ones are quiet compared to what you have.

When you get near a car that has the lane departure and object in mirror detection warnings etc... it's going to go nuts.

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?

Hey, I'm seeing your post a bit late, but I have a 360 mounted in my truck. It's been working great. There are some trade offs when compared to other detectors, but the false alerting isn't the item I'd choose to use if I were crapping on this detector. It's stellar in that department, from my experience. The two places I have any gripes, and they're small gripes, are the paid service and the directional indicator speed.

The paid service just sucks, I paid plenty for the detector and don't think they need a monthly fee from me to mine my data and sell it elsewhere. Thankfully the service isn't required, and I don't pay for it.

The directional indicator used to be really bad. It would take forever for it to change from a front radar detection to rear when you passed a LEO. There was an update that greatly improved this, however. It's not instant, but it's decent now.

I don't know what the others are talking about with locking out police radar... the same gun/car would have to be sitting in the same spot 3 times when you drove by for that to happen and not have been missing any times in between. I also don't know if it can lock out KA, which the majority of LEOs use now. I guess someone could press the mute button 3 times and lock one out if it did allow KA lockouts.

Parting piece, it's the nicest thing to be able to drive around town with a quiet detector. When it alerts, you know with 95% certainty that there's a LEO around. Distance detected may be 2nd to the V1, but not by too far, and the feature set more than make up for it when you consider its all in one unit.

Nothing wrong with the V1, it just wasn't for me.

As for wiring mine, I have it tied into the RAP located in the driver fuse panel with an add a fuse. I use a remote mute button that feeds my detector. Works great. Just ran the wire up behind the driver side behind the a pillar airbag and over to the mirror where my detector is mounted. I'll take a picture tomorrow if I get a chance.

How exactly do I get to the wires required to do the wiretap. Is there a specific plastic piece I need to remove? Can somebody give me detailed instructions?
