So what makes these detectors so great compared to others?
The following is the main features that will make your drive more pleasant which are not found on other radar detector systems.
GPS learning allows for the rejection of the false radar signals by the radar drones on the highway while still looking for real police threats. Radar drones are spaced about every mile and turn on briefly. They are used to measure the speed and traffic flow which is then reported to various companies such as Garmin, which uses that data to provide real time traffic flow to your vehicles navigation system.
The red light camera and speed trap database ensures that you are warned of an approaching red light camera or a speed camera. This alone will pay for the unit itself within the first year and for some, within a week! This database is updated monthly to keep up with the current addition of cameras and traps.
Adaptive Signal Processing system uses GPS technology to automatically "learn" (by exact location and frequency) each radar signal and determine if it's a real threat or not. This data is updated real-time during your drive, and provides the most accurate alert system possible. The result is the most accurate long-range protection in the industry and a permanent solution to false alarms. You drive. It learns. End of story. Nothing could be easier.
DEFENDER® Database - Thousands of safety camera locations, including red light and speed-based cameras throughout North America. You can also download updates, back up your data, and stay on top of new threats directly from Escort’s website. These units also come complete with a 3 year Defender Database Subscription for FREE.
Variable-Speed Radar Performance, PASSPORT's Auto Sensitivity mode varies radar sensitivity based on your vehicle's speed. The result is radar performance when needed most.
Mark Location The PASSPORT 9500ci's "Mark Location" feature enables the customer to manually mark known speed traps, camera locations, or anything else worth noting. Once stored in its memory, the 9500ci will provide sufficient warning for all of these points of interest.
While most Police Departments use both K band radar and Laser guns, there is NO active defense for radar. Escort and Beltronics offer some of the best radar detection units on the planet and will cover instant on guns beside the normal X, K, Ka bands. Instant on guns are the type that the police officer points, pulls the trigger, and the gun transmits and receives a signal with your speed almost instantaneously. But what about laser?
Laser guns, or LIDAR, are an aim and shoot detection unit that is light based with a smaller focused transmission beam that is not broadcasting to everyone on the road like radar does. Fortunately it is completely legal in the state of Ohio and most of the USA to "jam" those signals. The AL Priority and the new Laser Pro Shifters from Escort will defuse the signal or “shift it” not allowing the laser gun to read the vehicles speed, thus you not getting a ticket!
What about the portable unit that you are currently using or have used in the past that has laser detection? We call this ticket confirmation. The laser gun the police use will instantaneously know your speed and it happens so fast you would need to react in less than a second (.0000001 seconds to be exact). So without an active laser jammer you will be confirming the ticket with the laser detector.

Black Box Solutions

For those that were born after 1995, a CD changer is a device that plays back multiple CD discs which are shaped like an Xbox/PlayStation game disk but only have music on it.

Cleveland Ohio’s HID Lighting Specialists And Source For Quality Kits
We all have seen the newer vehicles with the bright driving lights that seem to light everything up in front of their vehicle while you are driving around with your bright lights on or just driving around unable to see clearly in front of you. Either way it is unsafe and modern technology has a solution for you called HID or Bi-Xenon lighting. Basically it is a high intensity dispersion of light projected forward like your factory headlights, but at a brighter more focused beam.
