The Escort Passport 8500 radar detector is one of the best performing radar detectors on the market today, and everyone who I know who owns one, loves it.  Along with superior performance, the 8500 features a multiple contact display which can detect and alert you to a possible 8 different radar contacts at once. The 8500 features an auto sensitivity mode that automatically adjusts sensitivity levels to your driving conditions, eliminates most false alarms, and will also detect the new POP mode radar as well.  This detector has the detection ability to alert you of radar contacts to the...

Escort-Passport 8500 Radar Detector is SUPERIOR, EXCELLENCE,EXTRA ORDINARY and TRUSTWORTHY. It has programmable features and is user friendly. Escort-Passport has had decades of experience, paired with leading edge technology has made them a leader of the pack with radar and laser detection. Escort has a cordless model that works with batteries. I would be careful before I decided to purchase it because if the batteries get low you may get a ticket.

I have owned the Escort Passport 8500 radar detector for four years. During this time, it has proven to be an outstanding purchase. It is easily operated, the controls are relatively simple to use, and it works extremely well. I primarily use it to monitor the highways (really!) instead of purposefully speeding. It always gives an early alert, and very few false alarms. Escort has advertised the fact that it is upgradeable, however I have yet to see any offers from Escort in this arena. Nevertheless, this is one fine product. Although it is not cheap ($350 at the time I purchased mine), I would... read full review »

I'm on my second Escort 8500. The first went missing when my car was stolen. I got the car back but of course the Escort was missing.

This is a great unit. One of the best features is the ability to customize the sound and display. The unit also allows you to turn off certain alerts which helps when in congested areas. The 3.5mm sound out jack is a must have for my application. I use it on my motorcyel and my cars.

I've had to use the customer service a few times and they have been very fast to respond. Also when you call Escort customer service you are calling the United States. Imagine that!

The Escort-Passport 8500 Radar Detector, seems to be able to prove what it claims.  A very unusual thing, when it comes to radar detector.  If you have to drive above the speed limit, then this is what to get, instead of a ticket. Not all detectors are full proof, but if you have a need for speed, and cant afford to pay the penalties, Escort is my best recommendation, priced reasonable as well.

This radar detector works wonderfully in all types of terrain. Mountains, Valley's, City and country. Most detectors will beep like crazy while you are travelig around city's givig you false alerts. This unit is  the most accurate unitb that I have ever used. Worth the money. I borrowed a friends and now will save up to purchase my own. A must have for seasoned travelers!

I think the Escort Passport Radar Detector is fantastic for any one that is on the road a lot. It can actually save you money if you are a speeder. It can warn you fast about a patrol officer in the area where you may be. It will be your best friend.
