Escort RedLine Radar Detector - 0100025-1

For Canadians too!

So Im not sure if my US buddies are aware, but radar detectors are illegal in most places in Canada that typically accompany a $250 fine and 3 demerit points (a great way to raise money for governments and insurance companies).

The Redline is apparently the only detector on the market that is undetectable to Spectre RDDs (Radar Detector Detectors) THIS IS A MUST IF YOU PLAN TO USE A DETECTOR IN CANADA.

I have been using radar detectors for over 25 years and WILL NOT drive without one. I have lost several to police over the years and I go out and buy a new one the next day. I hope the Redline Stealth doesn't let me down.

One other point for Canadians, while you need a radar detector for K and Ka bands, I find it a requirement to ALSO have a LIDAR jammer (I use the Blinder ... see Blinder website... Im not a salesman I just like the product)

The problem with LIDAR, which they use a lot in Canada, and a radar detector is that when a cop hits you with LIDAR, all the radar detector does is tell you that you just got a ticket.

A jammer will BLOCK the signal and the cop can't get a lock on you, so you just slow to speed limit and shut it off.

ITS FREAKIN' BRILLIANT!!!

Now with my Redline, I'm invincible (knocking on wood).Read full review

Needs gadgets to work with Escort live, first one bad out of the box.

I ran an 8500 for years with flawless operation, and after about a decade on my hot dash it finally gave up. Going back to Escort was a no-brainer for me. The new OLED models have trouble with sunlight, which Colorado has more of than anywhere on Earth, so I went with the Redline. The top end models come with GPS, but we've all got that in our phones, so I don't need it in my radar detector. According to Escort's website, the Redline is compatible with Escort Live via my phone's bluetooth, so I should be good. Except it's not. After buying the detector, you have to pony up another pile of money for the SmartCord Live, which has the bluetooth capability in it. This brings it's cost right up next to the other high end detectors they sell, making the Redline only good for it's 90s looking red LED display. All that aside, I took the first one out for a spin to my favorite speed sign, an older model using K band, and......nothing. Zero. Nada. Doesn't make a sound as the sign displays my changing speed. Tried it 10 more times, never a beep. Beach Camera was great about a replacement, which has just showed up, and hopefully registers the sign just fine. We'll see, but the Live debacle is too much hassle for any better rating than the three stars. Escort needs to go back to their old, simpler solutions. Do you want a hardwired detector, a dash mounted detector, or a battery operated one? That's it, they're all the best, pick your mounting solution.Read full review

does its job. much less false alarm than others. would recommend

The range is great
The accuracy is excellent
Keeps false alarm to a minimum which is much better than others
The sticky cup laches on to the windshield firmly but the lever
that attaches the device to the sticky cup has too much play.
Especially when the road is not perfectly smooth,
you can see and hear the vibration of the radar detectorRead full review

Escort Redline

This is by far the best detector I have purchased in many many years. The detection range that I have experienced is absolutely amazing. I've detected patrol units literally miles up the road before I got to them. Very impressed with the overall ease of use and the exceptional performance. Read full review

Escort RedLine is the best highway detector

I live in a very remote area and almost all of my travel is rural highways with lots of twists and turns and changes in elevation. This bad boy sniffs out signals miles away. It's actually so good, it's kind of annoying because it takes you forever to finally pass the cop. The segmentation function is pretty cool as well.Read full review

Works great !!

I have an Escort 8500 also and the Redline is much better with the false alarms and has exceptional long range detection. Highly recommend !!

Absolutely the best for radar

Excellent for radar off in the distance, even instant on And great off axis performance too. I mount it high as it increase radar detection. However, I have noticed it lags as it pertains to laser detectionRead full review

Redline vs passport max2

I'm replacing the passport max2 after a rollover accident decided it's fate!!! In retrospect I should of purchased the redline way back when I first purchased my first detector, the 8500!!! If you speed, redline all the way! No bling, just a lot of warning!!! Look at the reviews, redline is a serious, not casual contender!!!!Read full review

Investment paid

Redline is my excellent little helper! I wish I'd got one way earlier! The investment is well paid off! Even tested it Europe!
Absolutely a supreme and a must have!
The only con side is it wouldn't respond on "selfie-sticks" (speed cameras) too far away. You'd wanna watch out for those.
Other than that, a totally awesome tool!!
Thumbs up!! Read full review
