I used to use the older Redline for my sport bike and car. It's range was unparalleled & perfect for rural riding/driving. I used to salivate over the V1's arrows though. Fast forward..bought a V1g2 a few months ago. Love the new design however I'd more falses in town. This w/the latest updates. Sold it to a friend & bought the new Redline 360c. It's $$$, but if you're going to spend the money, spend it well and you can't go wrong with this model. It's worked GREAT right out of the box and it has arrows! Mounted with Blendmount for a seamless look & ease of use.

I used both the Uniden r8 and thr RL 360c. The brand Escort is owned my Cedar Electronics and they are notorious for very slow uodates as well as their customer service. However, i will be as objectice as pososble. The 360c is one of the best radar detectors om the market as its the only RD that is not picked uo by Radar Detector Dedectors. It also has amazing range. Its algorithm was developed to recieve various radar, screen it, then determine if the detector should go full tilt with all alarms or mid tilt. It used GPS learning to detemrine if the k band is from a automatic doors at a local building or is it a real threat. So, its much more quiet than the r8. On the downside, the rime it takes the RD to process the information crestes a longer latency than most RD on the market. The arrows on thr 360c can take several seconds. CE did finally push new FW however certain issues still remain.

I’ve run three Escort radar detectors (Original RedLine, Max360c, and the RedLine 360c) at the same time to test the performance with the same settings as far each machine will allow for in Highway mode with only Ka 2,5,8,9 segments on; both Max 360c and Redline 360c have the latest firmware and software updates.
Of these, the original Redline actually picks up the fastest but only if the radar is from the front. That said, the new Redline 360c is also close, < 1 sec., to picking up the same radar, but has better performance when detecting radars from sides and rear of my vehicle.

Good Performance, Overpriced, and "All-In-One"

I'm just going to give my honest non-biased experience I've had with this item so far.
In my experience, I was able to drive between Houston & Dallas (Round trip) averaging 90mph thanks to this overpriced all-in-one radar detector. It picked up police radar as far as 1 mile on average away, and some occassions 2 miles.
Escort Live app is okay, but if you have in-car wifi, or an android phone, you can tether to your wifi hotspot(s) and get the same alerts from other escort users in the area with out the app.
I've only owned this product for about two weeks before I was able to try it out on a road trip, and I'm very pleased with the results.
City performance will vary from person to person when you factor in terrain, sensitivity settings, etc, but in my experience it has been a very quiet detector even with Highway Mode on in the city, and it has picked up everyone who has been running radar. Keep in mind not every patrol vehicle is actively running radar.
You will get the occasional false alerts from some things such as automatic door openers, and very few vehicle technologies such as blind spot monitoring.
Overall, its a very quiet radar, and as for the "All-In-One" I keep referencing, well it has standard radar detector features, it has GPS which is used for automatic lockouts for spots such as parking lots, it has wifi, bluetooth, and is undetectable to RDD's
(Radar Detector Detectors).
For what it's worth, I have been using the escort Max 360C since January 2020, and I have not gotten a single ticket driving an average 10-20 mph over the limit from that time all the way to the present day of this review.
There are several other good options as far as radar detectors for $200-$300 cheaper than this unit, so it is important you understand you are being charged for the additional features as well as the brand name. (Escort brand is like the Apple of radar detectors).
Vortex Radar is an excellent source to look up if you want a very in-dept detailed video review of this product. Again overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase, and I do recommend it if the price is not a deal breaker for you.

The Escort radar detector is a solid choice for drivers looking for reliable detection performance, especially with Best Buy’s excellent service backing it up. The device offers advanced features like GPS lockouts, real-time alerts, and a user-friendly interface, making it perfect for those who want effective speed monitoring and safety.
Setup was straightforward, and the Escort’s range is impressive, providing early alerts on both city streets and highways. I especially like the added protection of GPS technology, which reduces false alerts by learning your frequent routes. The Escort also connects with the Escort Live app for real-time updates from other drivers.
As always, Best Buy was my first stop, and their team was knowledgeable, making it easy to pick out the best option for my needs. If you’re considering a radar detector, I highly recommend starting your search at Best Buy; their expertise and customer support make them a top choice.

Best radar detector on the market

I don't really care what uniedin snobs say about how great their detectors are. Yes they have their place but for me where i live this detector wins hands down. Since I've owned it I've been saved by it over 10 times. Very few false alerts and if you have it set up to where you can see what the freq of the radar is then you can say whether or not the alert is false very easily. I've even had a save from laser with this detector. Highly recommend if you can find it in stores

Great Radar Detector but Needs Some Fine Tuning

Great All-in-One radar detector. Impressive range and solid build quality. Includes awesome mag mount which will build the unit firmly in place on your windshield.
Escort Live is decent but the app needs more work to be considered reliable.
One issue, which is unknown if it can be fixed via a software update or not, is the detector’s sluggish reactivity to Instant-On Ka band. The older model Max 360C reacts better to quick trigger/IO than this latest flagship model for Escort. Hopefully this is not a hardware issue and a future update can address this - but don’t hold your breath when it comes to Escort and timely firmware updates/support.
Also arrows transition good but can be a little better. BSM filtering is very good, not great. You will get the occasional punch-through with some Honda’s and Mazda CX5s.
Note: you must enable K-NOTCH (default is disabled) to help reduce K band falsing. This is done through the radar detector menu settings and NOT through the Escort Live app because that option is not available to enable or disable.
You also get a nice zipper carrying case which includes a mag mount and a cigarette lighter power adapter. Make sure to register the product to receive 90 days of free Defender database updates (red light cameras alerts, speed cam alerts, user reported alerts, etc). After the trial period you have to purchase a subscription which is available in 1 year and 3 year options. Also I recommend to purchase the 2-year extended warranty (directly from Escort Radar) which gives you a total of 36 months of peace of mind in case anything were to go wrong. And with most electronics, something is bound to go wrong eventually, especially when the detectors are in the windshield and face extreme weather conditions sometimes.
Lastly this detector is RDD (radar detector detector) immune meaning that it is stealth in places where radar detectors are illegal to operate (Virginia, DC and commercial truck drivers).
The positives outweigh the negatives with this product but it still needs to be refined and fine-tuned. It is very expensive and most would say overpriced. Something to consider.

I had the previous generation Escort IX. The 360c Redline is infinitely better. It's significantly quieter on the false alerts and the dual antenna setup works incredibly well. I have not used the full set of features but the setup is simple and range is spectacular. Expensive but highly recommended.

I’ve been using escort radar detectors for over 30 years and nothing can compare to this one. It’s sensitivity and range is incredible and it filters out false signals where my previous Escort detector would regularly go off. Expensive but worth it!

This has been one of the simplest to use radar detectors, and it has worked on a 1800 mile trip. I upgraded from an Escort IX, this one is night and day better in all ways. the arrows allow me to know which direction to watch for an upcoming alert. if you don't have one you need to get one.

Honestly I didnt even know what exactly a radar did and I’ll admit this was an impulse-buy due to recieving a speeding ticket. I’ve had friends who use radars and I remember hearing that annoying little beep so often that it felt like it never stopped. This is the first time I own a radar and for the first week I was freaking out because I didnt think it was working since I never heard it at all. I did some research and watched walkthroughs for settings in the Drive Smarter app and I was amazed by how accurate this thing is. It detects the laser from a very far distance so you dont have to slam on the breaks immediately. Overall this thing is hands-down one of my favorite things I own. Its a little on the expensive side but from my ecperience with it, I feel it’s absolutely worth every cent.

Saved me from a ticket on the very first day I installed it. I did a road trip across the state with my corvette, and on the way, a challenger was being speeding with me on the highway. we would both let on and off the gas to let the exhausts sing with one another, but then my radar went off alerting me that there was an officer up ahead. I slowed down, patted my head to let the Dodge know, and we both passed the highway patrol officer at legal speeds thus not getting pulled over for what would have been a rather expensive speeding ticket and perhaps a state ref for our exhausts.
