    Does the clear shower cap over the RD affect it’s effectiveness at all?

    Would placement of the detector inside the fairing (and out of sight) have a large impact on the sensitivity of the detector? When I was in the Navy, our RADAR systems would easily sweep through light material like that, but those are also very high power systems. A windshield, for instance, won’t affect the sensitivity and the plastic fairing seems like it would a similar medium.

      @Mark, radar would not have any problem passing through the fairing, however laser, “beam of light” would not pass

    Roy,

    I’d like to get the best system possible for all detection mediums including all speed and red light cameras. Need to have mounting adaptation for a 2010 Ultra Classic Electra Glide Screaming Eagle CVO. It has the factory GPS on left dash. Can you tell me what to order from you to meet these needs? Thanks.

      @ Merc I would recommend the 9500ix with the HARD system but right now the Hard System is out of production. Been in contact with the manufacture to see exactly when these will be coming back

    Thanks for the useful information on your website!

    I am thinking of mounting a Passport IQ on my bike to replace my old GPS and add radar protection at the same time. My old GPS is an early Garmin Zummo and while it is not much of a GPS, it has been able to handel the vibration and has proven to work in all but the heaviest rain. Any idea how the Passport IQ will handle the vibration and water? A

    Thanks

    • I wouldn’t recommend it:
      1) The mount that Escort developed for the IQ will not hold it securely to your bike
      2) I would be concerned about the vibration

      If you do mount it I would love feedback from you on how it works

    Thanks Roy,

    I was thinking of mounting it in a Ram AquaBox for a GPS with a touchscreen pane. In the plastic AquaBox the laser detection won’t work, but I think the X, K and Ka will, is this correct? My other concern is if I mount it behind my fairing looking down on it, that it may not be oriented correctly to get a good view of the road for radar detection. I am not sure if the until works omindirectionally, or if it has to be pointed a particular way.

    I don’t have a good answer for the vibration concern. The bike I am wanting to mount this on is a BMW, and it does not vibrate near as much as my HD, but it is a higher frequency vibration.

    If I try it I will give you a full report.

    Roy, one more question, I thought the IQ had Bluethooth, but I see comments that says it does not. I use a Scala system in my helmet and was planning to hear the radar warning my connecting the IQ to my Scala, but if the IQ does not have Bluethooth that will be a dealbreaker for me.

    i have a yamaha r1 and a solid black windscreen. if i placed the radar detector behind the windscreen, would i still pick up radar signals? also since im placing it at the forward most point of the bike, would i get any rear coverage?

    thank you

    • Radar is radio frequency and will penetrate everything but lead
      Thus yes your radar detector will work on your bike and receive radar from the rear

    I just bought the Passport IQ with hopes of mounting it on my Harley for the GPS feature. Does anyone have any updates on this?

    Thanks

    Roy:

    I have an Escort 9500xi and love it…Using headphones and when I have detection I get a great deal of static noise. I am afraid I am damaging the detector by not having a clean power source. I ahve it grounding directly to the battery with the positive tapped into a source close to the mounting location. would running the positive directly to the battery elimante the noise or dirty power source?
