Doesn’t pair to iPhone reliably Very touchy Does not update firmware Escort service sucks

GOOD BUT NEED TO UPDATE MORE OFTEN. Uniden detects faster but escort has more luxury features.

Wow, I really don't know how to frame this review. I didn't want to give this only one star because I have to believe it's better than that. But from my personal experience, that's the best I can give. I'll first start with what I like: - solid hardware. The radar seems well built, feels sturdy, and looks good. - decent software but kinda buggy. I downloaded Escort Live and was able to connect bluetooth and do most things but could not connect to wifi to do firmware upgrade. I decided to try Drive Smarter app in which I was able to connect via BT and wifi. So I ended up doing the firmware upgrade using Drive Smarter app (which took forever). In any case, weird how you can connect to wifi using one app - Drive Smarter - but could not connect with Escort Live, which was what the bar code in the quick set up manual led to. Fail 1. So here is where it all falls apart. I was driving in Arizona on highway 10 and bam! Got a ticket! (see photo upload) I get it, it's laser and usually it's too late once you've been tagged. But what was really disappointing was that the laser alert didn't go off at all even though I configured it to alert me on laser. Now I'm always second guessing if this thing is working properly or not. Products like these, you don't want to be second guessing. Fail 2. So Escort says that they will pay for your ticket if you get a ticket while using the radar. Ok, sounds great. I went online and submitted my ticket and uploaded everything they asked. But...it only applies if you buy it directly from Escort's website and not Best Buy. (see my photo upload). So in the end, I got it ticket, the device never alerted me, and Escort won't pay for your ticket if you buy at Best Buy. Maybe it's time to return this thing and get a Uniden. Or maybe I should drive speed limit...nah!!

Love this radar. Has saved me a lot of money by detecting every cop with a radar on. Very very satisfied customer

The Escort Redline 360c is hands down the best radar detector I’ve ever owned. The range and sensitivity are outstanding — it picks up alerts well in advance, giving me plenty of time to react. The directional arrows are extremely helpful, letting me know exactly where the signal is coming from, which adds a huge level of confidence while driving. The integration with Apple CarPlay is a game changer. Being able to view alerts directly on my screen makes everything seamless and safer since I don’t have to look away from the road. Setup was straightforward, and the build quality feels solid and premium. False alerts are minimal compared to other detectors I’ve tried, and the auto-learning feature really improves the experience over time. Overall, this detector delivers top-tier performance, smart technology, and peace of mind. Highly recommended for anyone who spends a lot of time on the road.

I haven't had a radar detector for years. I was a little apprehensive about spending the money for the Escort but I do a lot of driving and a few years ago I got several speeding tickets. Since then, my record is clear, knock on wood, and I want to keep it that way. So, I figured one of these couldn't hurt. The last one I had was an Escort. And it was back in college and was very helpful when driving from my home in Pittsburgh. This new Escort Redline is amazing. The of programming that you can do to customize is fantastic. I love how you get firmware updates via WiFi while it is still mounted in your car. Plus the speed limiter adjustment/reminder is great. I need that!!! The quality is first class and the out of box experience is great. It comes with the mount, cable and carrying bag. Once really nice extra is the USB port built into the car charger, I use that feature all the time for my phone. As far as the radar detection it is fantastic. The distance it can detect radar is unbelievable. On the highway near my house it has detected it a mile and a half away. Here in GA, they use Band K, Ka and some Laser. This detector does it all. I don't give many five star ratings but this product is awesome. So good, my wife asked for one so I bought her one too. In one word... AWESOME.

Honestly this thing is amazing. I know cops are there so long before I even get near them. Picks up lasers great, if you like to step on it this thing is a lifesaver. Super easy to mount and has a lot of neat little options. I have an orange interior so being able to color match the display was a nice touch. I normally don’t leave reviews but this thing lets me know I’m safe doing 160. If you’re on the fence about spending a little extra for this radar detector just do it, you’ll be happy you did. No tickets cause this thing has me covered. 10/10

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.

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 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.

The escort redline lets me drive with complete peace of mind knowing that I’m highly unlikely to picked off like an injured gazelle now that i know where all the lions are lurking. And with a Tesla performance model, you need exactly that. This device pics up radar signals 360 degrees, shows you which direction, and upwards of 4,000 feet away. GPS, auto-learns to filter out false signals, updates automatically over wifi, its amazing. Completely satisfied!

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.

Really good great at detector. I highly recommend it paid by itself.

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

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.

Works great I like it that it connects to Apple Car Play. This helps if the radio/music is to loud I still get an alert though Car Play. This also helps in that I don't have to keep the volume turned all the way up on the detector.

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.

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.

Very good product overall but the thing of it is it doesn't detect any police car everyone it just detect the radar and the police cars so it just defeat the purpose to what I was looking for for myself. Is that show where the radars are

My first radar detector, super easy to set up, the app makes it perfect with CarPlay and the directional arrows help a lot! It’s already helped me spot several things that I would have missed otherwise.
