    Pretty annoying with KA band more than anything. It constantly goes off with a voice and beeps saying KA KA KA KA. Maybe I don't understand the technology fully, but im pretty good with these kind of gadgets. I will study it some more to see if I can adjust it to work better.

    The volume level was way too low (even when turned up all the way) - I could not hear the alerts and I exchanged it for an Escort MAX 3.

    Plugged in and it started working immediately picking up on cameras and radars. Looking at purchasing another one for my second car.

    So far seems good. A lot of things to learn about all the product does. It is new so I need to get it all figured out. It is a bit confusing.

    Not impressed. On a budget for a cross country trip, thought it would be a good idea, but unfortunately it was constantly going off...in middle of nowhere, in flat areas, got so bad that if I had a hammer.....sorry, can’t recommend, probably better to spend more & get better performance...
