A:AnswerI actually purchased the r7 first. Then exchanged for max 360c. I regret it. The r7 detected all bands better. Only issue was the arrows were a bit inconsistent and it was definitely a noisier detector. Max 360c definitely had better filtering for false alerts. Plus the benefit of auto lockouts. But sometimes the 360c would lock out signals that you dont want locked out. The 360c seems to alert just barely in time to slow down while the r7 would alert from extremely far away. I had gotten the r7 when it first came out so the firmware it was on wasnt dialed in yet. But they have updated it and fixed a lot of the issues since I had it. The max 360c have yet to fix the simplest of issues like speed limit not showing when connected to wif. I have called and emailed them repeatedly, and tons of owners have also inquired to escort on their forums without issues being fixed. If you don't mind occasional false alarms I would go r7. If u want a quiet radar with real threat alerts just in time to be able to slow down go with max 360c. Side note, I passed by a photo radar in Denver today and my max360c didnt make a sound. And your question about passing police with no alert. It will only alert if they have their radar turned on. If they are using laser chances are it will not pick it up.
A:AnswerThis particular detector is a windshield mount detector with a suction cup. The max 360 ci is the one that is installed in the vehicle permanently
A:AnswerIt comes with a 90 day camera database subscription that is activated when you register the detector. The subscription is only to access updates which are released weekly. Without a subscription it will still alert to cameras you just cannot update the database with new locations.
A:AnswerThey all have them, but this one says it learns it after three times at the same place and stops. But wherever there's a building with a motion sensor to open and close the motion activated door there's a false alarm and they are everywhere!
A:AnswerNo. The Escort guarantee is only limited from the Escort website itself. Best Buy does not off any ticket guarantee, only protection plans on damage.
A:AnswerIf you are using the M1 or M2 camera with MAX 360c then you just need one 12V power cord. This power cord plugs into your vehicle's cigarette lighter adapter. The USB ports are only for updating software and downloading videos not for powering the devices.
A:AnswerIt has a mute button and a silent mode. Just save your money and get a jammer. When they use a laser, its going to get you buy the time it hits the escort max anyway.
A:AnswerVG2 is a system used by the police to detect radar detectors. The only 2 escort windshield detectors that are VG2 undetectable are the original redline and the new redline. All their other detectors are not VG2 undetectable.
A:AnswerIf you are looking for a radar detector that can't be detected by the police the escort max 360c is not the one you have to go with the escort redline that can't be detected.
