Passport Escort 8500 x50 radar detector false laser alerts

While driving home from school one day, I started to get false laser alerts for a long period of time. I don't know what this is about, but I was wondering if you guys could post some ideas? I did have it on a car splitter with a usb power outlet attached to it. Also my headlights were on, and the windshield wipers were at full speed, if that helps...

Escort Passport 8500 X50 (Red and Blue Displays) - A Review

The Passport 8500 X50 Red/Blue Display:

Price: the price tag is $309.95 for the red display making it one of the cheaper models, and very affordable. Strangely, for the blue display the price is $349.95 - I guess it is a matter of supply and demand.

Bands: this product detect all bands of speed enforcement radar both conventional and "instant-on" radars (X, K, Ka, and Ku), and is 50% more sensitive (covers greater range) than its predecessor, the Passport 8500. Furthermore, unlike its predecessors, the Passport 8500 X50 detectors are able to detect Pop radar guns, a relatively new addition to police forces.

Voice Alerts: there are audible and visual band alerts, but these aren't exactly "voice alerts".

False Alerts: Incorporates the AutoSensitivity Mode which reports few false alerts - but does not eliminate those completely.

Features: Includes the SmartCord power adapter which can be used as a secondary control for the device. Uses Digital signal processing (DSP) for superior range. Has a built-In Earphone Jack. Includes the "AutoMute" feature which lowers the volume of an alert after a period of time. Also incorporates EZ-Programming - a feature that allows easy customization of the device. Finally, it is compatible with the Escort Passport ZR3 Laser Shifter for even better protection.

Installation: the Passport 8500 X50 is windshield mounted, thus, has to be attached to the windshield using a suction cup system. This is a bit clunky, but the advantage is that you can take it and use it in other vehicles, motorcycles, etc. In addition, you can purchase an optional visor holder to hide the Passport 8500 X50 on the visor.

GPS Technology: Not available for this product.

Detectable: Sadly, it is.

Database subscription: N/A.

In summary: When taking into consideration all the features the Passport 8500 X50 as well as its price, it is clear that it's one of the best radar detectors you can get for the money, at least the Red display version is. It has lots of features (such as the SmartCord controller). And it's one of the cheapest models (again, the Red display model). Although it does not have some of the other features some of the other models possess, most notably any sophisticated False Alert reduction mechanisms, such as AutoLearn, or a GPS, considering all the above, we believe it provides extremely good value for its price. All in all, the Escort Passport 8500 X50 is highly recommended. Note that its Blue Display Counterpart, while offering the same capabilities, is slightly more expensive, so you should go for this one if you like the 8500 X50 detector series.

Total score: 4.5/5.0 Stars.

Escort 8500 Tips

Technology has improved over time and enabled technicians to upgrade the radar detectors that are available today in the market. But the same technology has also enabled the development of better, faster and more accurate radar systems. What's more, coupled with the knowledge that there are radar detectors, there are machines that have now been made to detect radar detectors and others that can catch speeders in spite of radar detectors and jammers. The need therefore, is to be on the forefront of the advances that are being made in technology.

Escort 8500 is among the best products that are available in the market today. This remotely mountable radar detector has a platinum exterior. It has two switches that can be used for many operations. It also has a power and volume switch on the side that can be rotated to increase the volume of the alarm. The large display is red in color and effectively flashes any radar is in the vicinity.

One of the best things about the Escort 8500 is that it can be programmed and upgraded for future need. It has nine features that the use can opt for. It can simultaneously detect up to eight radars simultaneously and therefore you can be sure that if you are avoiding a radar area in one direction, you are not getting into one. Those who value precision will appreciate that the SpecDisplay actually identifies the exact frequency of the radar.

The Escort 8500 can be plugged into the cigarette lighter and can be run at any time of the day. It also allows you to choose an automatic mode in which the programmed information enables the Escort 8500 to set the level of sensitivity without manual intervention. The Escort 8500 detector can snoop out radars on the Ka band. Its X mode during city driving is extremely reliable and accurate. Between the latest models that have been launched it can be considered the best on sensitivity, ergonomic features, selectivity, operations in city mode and sound level. It could have been better at laser detection but the current performance is not lacking in any way.

The Escort 8500 is better than any of the other brands that have been launched recently not only for its superior technology, up to date features but also because of its extreme user friendly interface. Among the latest models that are available in this price range, the Escort 8500 is definitely a good buy!

Escort Laser Shifter ZR4 - A Review

The Laser Shifter ZR4:

Before we begin, it is important to note that the Laser Shifter ZR4 is not a radar detector but rather a radar jammer, which means it can provide complete protection against all forms of radar and laser detectors. When one thinks about it, being undetected is actually more important than knowing you are being detected - is this not the case? Furthermore, it can be used in conjunction with: Passport 9500ix, Passport 9500i Blue, Passport 9500i Red, Passport 8500 X50 Blue, Passport 8500 X50 Red, Passport 8500, Cordless Solo S2, Passport SR7 and Escort C65. Obviously, it should be used with models that do not have stealth capabilities.

Price: the price tag is $449.00, which is not cheap, but considering the protection you get, it is well worth it.

Bands: this product does not detect any bands - as said, it is not a radar detector.

Voice Alerts: Provides audio alert capabilities.

False Alerts: Since it always protects you silently, it can be said there are never any false alerts - you'll never be informed that you are being detected and that will prove to be untrue.

Features: Includes a remote mute button, and a display controller.

Custom installed: the ZR4 is custom installed: in this case it means that twin front-mounted Laser Shifters and rear license plate mounted Laser Shifters must be attached to the vehicle.

GPS Technology: Not available for this product.

Detectable: This is the Laser Shifter ZR4's strength: its stealth capabilities. Since it is a radar jammer, it offers complete protection against all forms of radar and laser detection. In the end, this is what matters.

Database subscription: N/A

In summary: the Laser Shifter ZR4 can be used as a stand alone product and would do a superb job at performing what is expected of it, namely, protection from radar detection. That being said, one can't help but think that it would be better utilized in conjunction with one of the radar detectors (and as stated above, many are designed for this specifically), since it is always a good idea to know when you're being spied on, i.e., you don't want to be driving at 100 miles per hour and be invisible to a police car radar gun... even without advanced technology and using the naked eye alone this would look suspicious. In conclusion: supremely effective at its task, the ZR4 is a highly effective radar jammer. Consequently, our overall score for this product is 4.0/5.0.
