***LegendGS*** · 02-24-05, 10:04 AM

And here I just bought a V1 for one of my other cars.

Well, I wanted it for the arrows ANYWAY. :p

I have to find a way to get the upgrade for my 4 Passport 8500s to the X50 though.

i'm surprised no one has mentioned the phantom model 2 or 3 radar detector and jammer.it has saved me at least 20 times in the past and although it is not cheap(around $300) i think it has paid for itself may times over.

So What do we think would be the best to save our babies?

*stevieray* · 02-24-05, 02:24 PM

Looks like the Passport 8500 X50 for now. It's about a Benjamin cheaper, too.

if their under 100 buck they wont work well. I had those cheap 80 dollar detectors, man they suck, by the time they beeped (and like on K freakin band too) you would already pass the cop, maybe 2-3 seconds response time doing 75 mph. You really do get what you pay for, serioisly!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its either get a good detector or get nothing.

Well, I believe it's free if you bought it from Escort along with their extended warranty, but I got mine from Best Buy, so I might be out of luck.
