Just installed: Escort redline with hardwired. It's not a real remote display. Together with my remote display V1.

First impression, V1 for utility and directional arrows but if it's detectable the redline provides another option.

Hope everyone is aware that with RR 2016 models + the solar windshields that come with all models block the signals to all radar / laser detectors....you can purchase & install a pricier external system, or live with seriously degraded range with ANY windshield mounted detector.

I'm using Escort 360 in my 2016 windshield, with range cut in half it is still worth it for me, but be advised

 

I use the escort cordless but frankly find that Waze is what usually saves me. It's like having a buddy drive in front of you. The few times I've nearly gotten a ticket is when I was too lazy to turn on Waze and sure enough when I checked Waze they had the speed trap on there

 

Update.........

Update on my case. Just went to traffic court and they called the witness who is the constable that pulled me over. He is an expert in spectre but he really doesn't know anything about new technology. I figured that out during cross examination. The spectre they use was manufactured in 2003. Even with spec sheet it says it detects most not all radar detector and he admitted that it detects falsies from other signals, and could have detected my adaptive cruise control which he didn't know exist already in new cars/SUV's. He also gave a different color of my vehicle. The prosecutor cannot claim victory because the witness wasn't very convincing. But the fact that he was able to get my detector speaks for itself. There is no arguing about that. By merit alone and my performance(I'm a MD) not a lawyer they should have dropped the case. They lowered the fine in half which was a moral victory in itself but no V1 back. BEWARE american drivers with radar detectors, it's an unfair traffic law being perpetuated in Canada. Use escort redline or none at all. Your V1 will get you in trouble.

The only undetectable radar detector against the spectre elite is the escort 9500ci which is a professionally installed $1999.99 proposition aside from the escort redline.

Bummer. At least you tried. Did that result in a moving violation point? Not sure how it works in Ark. What was the fine?

 

It was in Ontario Canada where they confiscated my V1. Went to court and fought it. But the law is so broad and vague that possession in itself they can confiscate it even if the stop was illegal because they seized the V1. I said that the spectre detected my Adaptive cruise control which the police didn't know new cars have it now and insist on his 2003 spectre. The original ticket was CAD 170.00 plus court fees of CAD 25.00. They reduced the fine to CAD 100.00. No points. I loved the V1 and have an extra old one but will be relying on the redline from now on.

BTW I have free use of their toll roads since Ontario doesn't have reciprocity with arkansas

Haha, It'll take a few years driving to make up for the fine and the V1.

 

Use escort redline from now on!
