Default Big Second. I don't have mine incorporated into the IC but it could be done very easily with the V1

Mine is just hard wired and sits above my rear view mirror... It has saved me at least once a week for the last two years...

Default Escort Passport....

Custom Installed:
Passport 9500ci - Radar/Laser Detector + Laser Shifting
Passport SRX - Radar/Laser Detector + Laser Shifting
Passport SR7 - Radar Detector + Laser Detector
Laser Shifter ZR4 - Laser Detector + Laser Shifting


Windshield Mounted:
Passport 9500ix
Passport 9500i
Passport 8500 x50 blue/red


I have personally have installed, "tested" and used the following:
Laser Shifter ZR4
Passport 8500 x50
Passport 9500i

Love the Escort brand very much. Most likely purchase the Passport 9500ci. Would like to try the Valentine but after several reports and tests performed by others I use to collaborate with Escort was the smarter choice. To each their own, and their own preference.

Default Not on a 80/90/coupe....I have some pics on an A6...

My 90 would be a much easier installation. The grille can be easily modified and wired up.


May I ask what are your reasons behind getting a setup like this?

Default Big third. Just took a 1500 mi. road trip a couple weeks ago to S. Dakota with a friend.

3 saves for me in 5 days. Going between 90 and 120 in 55-65 rural state highways.
