How to Turn Your Escort Redline into an Escort Redline XR & Save $100
What is the Escort Redline XR and is it worth the extra the extra $100 they are charging?
Let’s get right to it. Escort does not make an Escort Redline XR. There is no such radar detector from the factory.
All the Escort Redline XR is, is a factory Escort Redline where the seller programs the detectors Ka-Band segmentation and radar detector rejection firmware prior to its shipping.
Because we receive several emails like this each week we’ve created this video and article to address this question.
First off unless you have a job where you’re paid $6,000 an hour or more, no it’s not worth the extra $100 of your hard earned cash and here is why.
This takes the seller less than a minute to do and they mark up the price an extra $100.
I took a different approach and as my gift created this video which will walk you through this entire process.
Escort Redline XR Settings
RDR – Turn off RDR for no false filtering and best performance
Segmentation – Turn On the following Bands
- Ka2: 33.704 to 32.896 (33.8 turned on)
- Ka5: 34.592 to 34.808 (34.7 turned on)
- Ka8: 34.378 to 35.618 (35.5 turned on)

Would recommend that you purchase it here: http://www.powersportsus.com/Escort-Laser-ShifterPro-Laser-Jammer-p/shifterpro.htm
They are advertised as 599
Get my buyers guide, link on that page (hint)
I see you advertising redline xr and want to escort website and they don’t have it listed just regular redline for $499.99.
I’m not advertising it, just teaching folks how they can save money by programming it to be the XR.
Other radar detector sites are selling these as XR, I’m not…
I was wondering radar roy what do you think about PhantomAlert? is it scam or not? Do belive in it?
Well it run by the same company that makes the Phantom Plates and their App really doesn’t offer you much. I would consider instead Escort Live

A couple questions:
1. I have programmed the changes in the Redline as you said to make it an XR. I did turn off the X Band. However, the Ohio State Highway Patrol still does use X Band a fair amount as New Jersey does. I do not think the OSP has an open X Band contract though, but not sure. Were you aware OSP is still using X Band guns?
2. Do they, OSP, have a contract like New Jersey?
3. That leads to my third question: What does it do to the Redline XR ability/capability if I go and turn X Band back ON, to deal with OSP’s X Band gun encounters, and leave all the other Redline XR settings in place?
Thank you for your input.

I’ve been told that there have been reports of X band use in Ohio Richard, not sure however what agency. You can turn on X band, however be aware you’ll be getting a lot false alerts
X band in OHIO CONFIRMED!!! 5/16 I encountered X band in Central Ohio from an OSP cruiser with my Redline!!
