Thanks again, Mike-In-CA. Great info. When I get one, I will have it set up that way too.

Sorry to be a pain, but another quick question... if it's hard-wired, how do you quickly yank it down when the coppers appear?

Also, I have to take a close look at that headliner area on my car.... Maybe I can fabricate some sort of small bracket that can be wedged in there, so that the unit isn't directly attached to the windshield?

What a dopey cat-and-mouse game they make us play! When I bought the car, the temporary registration that the dealer stuck to the inside of the windshield blocked an area of about 25 square inches. Certainly, the profile of a radar detector is far less than that.

You're welcome, no worries. The detector is "hard wired" in the sense that it is powered directly off the fuse panel. But it uses an adaptor at the panel end that accepts a standard RJ-11 telephone cord connector. (Both the adaptor and cord come with the V1). The connector on the other end of the cord plugs into the detector, so it's easy to unplug and stash the detector with it's attached suction cup mount, not only when you're stopped by a LEO but also when you park the car and don't want to invite theft.

Ah, perfect. Thanks Mike-In-CA!!!

What is High Definition (HD) Radar Performance?
My problem with Passport is that every year they introduce a new improved version that "raises the bar once again." but is never any better then the V1.

It's a bunch of marketing bs. I hate companies that treat their customers like idiots before they ever walk in the door.

WOW! I am running a 9500ix, which I love aside from a blown speaker which was premature IMHO. Clearly this new MAX is a quantum leap in advanced radar detection technology with advanced HD military roots! (cough sarcasm cough)

In all seriousness that is by far the worst promotional material I have ever seen. It looks like a sham wow commercial shot in '94 with less talented pitch men. Is their core buyer high school kids with ricers or something? I thought they were going to offer me two if I called in the next ten minutes or try to sell me some extenz.

They should have just called it the escort 10 with oled display. I usually buy the new ones every 3 years or so and sell the other one to a friend or throw it in one of the slower rides. I almost want to not buy it because the commercials were so painfully awful.
