Description

From the Manufacturer The Passport 8500 has been hailed as the most revolutionary radar/laser detector ever. Now, Escort is raising the bar again. The Passport 8500 X50, the next generation of the 25-year-old favorite, is the most advanced and sophisticated radar and laser detector ever. The Passport 8500 X50's V-tuned radar receiver provides extreme detection range on all police radar, conventional radar, and "instant-on" radar, including the new POP X band mode, and up to 50 percent more range than the original Passport 8500 on the all-important K and Ka bands. In addition, the detector's digital signal processing (DSP) provides maximum range with minimum false alarms. The unit also includes a patented AutoSensitivity mode that intelligently distinguishes real threats from other known sources of radar, virtually eliminating false readings. Passport 8500 X50's multiple high-performance laser sensors provide maximum police radar (lidar) warning, with superior off- axis protection. The detector also offers three high-resolution meter modes--a standard bar graph, exclusive ExpertMeter, and SpecDisplay. In ExpertMeter mode, the Passport 8500 X50 can identify band and relative signal strength on up to eight radar signals simultaneously, while with SpecDisplay, the Passport 8500 X50 will show you the actual frequency of the radar signal. Adding to the unit's versatility is a reprogrammable microprocessor, which can be re-worked to detect new radar and laser threats. Features include: 360-degree radar and laser detection Advanced reprogrammable digital signal processing AutoSensitivity mode automatically reduces false alarms EZ-Programming allows instant customization 3 high-resolution meter modes Ultra-bright red matrix display with 280 LEDs Multiple high-performance laser sensors Built-in earphone jack Completely immune to the VG-2 "detector-detector" 1-year limited warranty What's in the Box Passport 8500 X50 radar and laser detector, quick- release windshield mount, built-in earphone jack, coiled SmartCord, quick reference card, travel case, user's manual.

    • If you like to speed a little...
This is a great product if you know how to use it. I have had the passport 8500 x50 for about 1 1/2 years. It was recommended by a friend. I have it hardwired into my Subaru wrx using the smart cord (the cord with the mute button), I had it professionally installed by a local stereo shop, I did this so I could mount it next to my rearview mirror to get the best results, as the owners manual stated. I then turned off X and K bands. The police and other agencies only Ka, Laser and POP radar, so, no false alarms! This has saved me from at least 3-4 tickets. These occurred mostly on main roads when a cop has been sitting there clocking peoples speed. There is a learning curve to this product, not a large one, but you have to learn have to read the signal strength. If its got 1 or 2 bars then jumps up to full, then goes back down to 1 to 2, then it was probably a cop on a side road. If it starts low and gets stronger quickly, probably a cop coming at you. If it comes on and stays strong for more than a mile a cop is either in front of you or behind. This works for multiple radars too. Laser rarely goes off, and if it does it is probably too late, cops have to, more or less, point it directly at your car (I read somewhere that cops are taught to point Laser (Lidar) at a flat surface, like a license plate) and they dont leave it on all the time either. This is my #1 threat. I have also, but rarely, had pop go off as well. It always is on and then gone in less than 10 seconds or so. Note: I have also never seen the cop after it has gone off, they must have been hiding. Ka is the most common where I live in nothern Cali. Some cops leave it on all the time so you can tell there is a cop nearby. Most police though, Never have anything on. This why you always have to be careful! 1 out of 20 actually have there radar on. The noises are clear and loud when set to max volume, rarely does my music drown it out. The display is clear and bright, no complaints. The connector for the unit is an old phone jack type, nice connector, but since the unit is $300, I take it down if my car is not in a secure place so that someone doesnt break in an steal it. Doing this over a year and a half has caused the little clippy thing to break off. Although it still works fine, doesnt come loose at all (its actually easier to take in and out). If you have the money, commute, or just like to bend the speed limit occasionally (and have $300) this is for you. 5 stars. ... show more

    • Best Investment For Long Commute
Style: Red display Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I have a long, daily, one hour highway commute and racked up several tickets. I finally had enough and purchased the Escort Passport 8500 X50. This detector saved my butt many times!! It's the best radar detector I've ever owned. I use the default settings for highway and they're fine. It's nice having the option to silence the X band but I'm not ready to do that yet since there is only one X band alert during the trip. The auto-mute function after initial alarm is great. The detection range is amazing and it detects over hills and around corners in some cases. Often, after detection, I find myself slowed down completely and waiting for the radar threat to be within visual range. Threat detection from rear is just as good. No need for an arrow to tell you it's detecting from the rear. When a threat is detected from the rear the signal strength gets stronger gradually. ... show more

    • Beware!
Style: Red display Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I ordered the Passport X50 from Amazon to save the $18 shipping Escort Radar was charging. I was told by someone at Escort Radar that Amazon was an authorized reseller. After having my detector on for ten minutes (right out of the box), it did three "SELF CAL"s, then said "SERVICE REQUIRED". I called Escort Radar and was told "If you let the car power up the unit when you start the car, the voltage can be all over the place and the unit gets confused. You must first start the car, and then use the thumbwheel to turn on the detector." It makes some sense, but if this is really the case, why don't they put those instructions in their manual? After trying this many times, the unit was "still confused", so I returned it for a replacement. My second detector worked for maybe thirty minutes before the same thing happened. This time Escort Radar told me "if you leave it plugged into the cigarette lighter over night, this has been found to cause problems." Well my lighter power goes off when I turn off the ignition, so this doesn't apply. Escort Radar also told me that "excessive heat" has been causing them problems. Now we have had a few days of 100° heat, and I'm sure the car gets hotter parked in the sun, but the design engineers should have accounted for these conditions plus some margin when you design something that is supposed to work in a car. It gets a lot hotter in other parts of the country. There are no warnings in the manual about not using it above 90° or leaving it off in a hot car. You wouldn't design a ski that doesn't work below 35°, would you??? The most troubling part of my conversation with Escort Radar service department was they told me Amazon is not an authorized reseller, and they have no idea where they are getting the units from. Furthermore, they will not honor any warranty nor will they ever repair the unit, not even for money. ... show more
