Let me say that if you want to go to a mirror tap, then do it. I've been in heated arguments with people over this before one of them was actually banned from the forum because he got that animated over the subject. Once that is complete, take a hack saw and cut the mount along the top of the ridges that lead down to the bolt holes. Then unscrew the bolt and remove the magnet, screw, nut and washer from the base. The first thing that I did was to take the handle to the mag mount and remove it from the suction cup plunger so to remove the plunger from the actual mount. Escort will even pay for your speeding ticket if you get one, so the investment doesn't go to waste. In summary, radar detectors are a tool, one of many, that make me feel more comfortable driving. ĭon't they just turn the radar on and off? Well yeah they do, but when he turned it on for the car, 10 cars ahead of you, you should have been warned. Most of the time if there is a cop on the side of the road, he's also on Waze. You still have to be aware of your surroundings. What about the cop on the side of the road using LIDAR? Well if he shoots that thing at you, you're toast! These detectors aren't for those situations, however I have noticed that many of those officers will leave their radar on and that's a dead giveaway to detectors. This eliminates all of the false alarms caused by door openers etc. All other radar in CA is either KA Band or Laser/LIDAR. Only on Federal land do they use those in CA. ![]() We all drive differently, stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours! I don't care if you want to drive under the limit, just do it behind some 18 wheeler (you can draft that way).ĭo they work? Most definitely! I'm in California where I disable X and K bands all together. If it were I, I would tell you to speed up or move over. Please be mindful that not everyone want's to slow down. ![]() In almost all of the threads about radar detectors, someone has to chime in and say "just slow down" or "those things don't even work". This is why people have struggled with mounting options. The position on the black dots relative to the headliner present a challenge for mounting. For anyone with "FasTrak" or other transponder these need to be placed in the black dot area as well in order to work properly. The only area of the windshield that doesn't have IRR is where the black dots exist around the rear view mirror. The windshield of the MME is specifically designed to block IR which also interferes with radar detection, known as IRR (Infrared Reflection). This is a detailed install of the Mag Mount devices which are for specific to Escort models Escort IX, Escort IXc, Max 360c, Redline EX, MAX 3 Redline 360c, and MAX 360 newer (2019 and later).įor the older style which has the metal that slides into the detector you can see how I mounted that here. I previously mounted a less expensive model and posted those. I've commented in a few other threads about different Radar Detector Mounts.
