    Hey Roy,
    Can not wait. I have been researching detectors and am holding off buying one until I see this new product.
    Later,

    Argh… I’m approaching the end of my return period for my brand new 9500ix. Any tips on whether it would make sense to return now while waiting for the announcement? My last day to return is 6/1…

    if your giving away 2 of these, you should make it a contest. the first 2 people to guess correctly what the new product is wins. my guess is a new jammer/park assist with android / apple support. if you need my mailing address just let me know.

    I really don’t think it’s gonna be that amazing. I see them possibly releasing a streaming video, Nav, Radar/laser detector. There isn’t much they really can do. The reviews have proven there Laser system doesn’t work as well as the Blinder. They do have the best radar detectors (9500 and 9500ix).

      Mike,

      You never know with Escort, who would of thought they would have crammed a 9500ix into a GPS unit? Which I still think is really freaking awesome I have to say.

      But I get what you’re saying, they already offer the best devices you can get, so it’s hard to imagine them out doing themselves.

      Whatever it is, I bet the other manufacturer’s aren’t sleeping too well! 😉

  9. Interesting but we need a few more details. Since Escort is a hometown company (West Chester OH) I’m happy to pass the word … as well as tweet out your tease! 🙂

    Whatever this mystery device is, it must be big, did you see the way the Engineer jumped up to cover what was on his desk when Roy tried to sneak a peek?

    It’s hard to imagine what Escort could possibly be cooking up, given the killer products they already have!

    Anyone got any guesses? New detector? GPS related? Some kind of smart device? Some new device that integrates more with Escort Live!?

    I think the most important question should be, is whether Escort borrowed any alien tech from Area 51 or are they employing “Grays” as engineers???

    Roy, I can’t wait. Escort makes THE best products. I’ve wanted an excuse to upgrade from my 8500 for a while!
    If we guess what the new product is, by private email, can one lucky person get the first one?

    Well here’s what we do know, It is made by Escort so that already makes it the best of the best. Its birthday is sometime in June (don’t forget to send a birthday card). Roy is very impressed, which that in itself means it has to be awesome. Ummm yep that’s pretty much the sum of what we know.

    I’ve been racking my brain, since Roy posted this page, trying to even come up with a fraction of an educated guess. I got nothing.

    What could possibly be better than the RedLine,9500ix,SmartRadar & iQ??? That’s assuming its even a new detector, we don’t even know that for sure yet.

    Maybe it could be a new version of the iQ with integrated Escort Live!. I don’t know I’m grasping at straws blindly here.

    Anyone else have a guess?

    I know I said this earlier, but the Engineer Roy tried sneaking up on was really scrambling to make sure whatever it is stays a secret. That part of the video really sent up a red flag to me. It has got to be a possible game changer, to get a reaction like that.

    This is going to be a long few days waiting for Roy to fill us in.

  15. Well it looks like it is the Escort Max radar detector according to a few forum members. Roy can you confirm this? If so I need to win this thing to see how it stacks up to the mighty king V1 and my lovely legendary Sleeping Beauty (Redline)

    • Sorry Steve because of a DNA there is a lot of stuff that I cannot discuss till a particular date

        Well the buzz is definitely happening over Passport Max. This RD has me intrigued, enough so that I am once again excited about the RD industry. Last major excitement to happen is this SLOW moving industry was the 9500CI.

    I say it is a combined full feature GPS/Radar/Laser detector (with TotalShield), that has a build in dash cam so you can video your road trip or have video evidence of an accident, plus it will snap a pic(s) when the detector goes off or visually recognize police cars and send the pic over Escort Live so everyone will know where exactly where the police car is hiding. But wait there is more, it will also monitor proximity to police mobile extender and monitor other radio/data terminal frequencies police vehicles use. Also with the camera(s) it will alert you if you fall asleep and drift out of your lane. Plus, with Escort Live, it will be able to “auto-tune” your detector to the frequencies based on your location. By now Escort should have a large database of where and what radar bands used. That would allow Escort Live to “auto-tune” the detector by either lockout or decrease the monitoring of those bands or sub-bands not being used in your area to allow the detector to devote all its time or more of its time to the bands/sub-bands where real threats are likely or more likely to be detected.

    If this isn’t the product being launched, then I wish they would hire me for their R&D team, because I really need one of these. 🙂
