ESCORT announced it has improved the response time of its Redline 360c radar system and will roll out the improvements to its other radar products in the future, including the Redline Ci 360c aimed at car audio specialists.
ESCORT said it can detect a radar gun signal in only .29 seconds with a new firmware update. In parts of the country, police are manually triggering their guns with a quick press that can bring the read time on a vehicle’s speed down to a half second. The MPHB3 or POP gun also has an automatic quick read time.
With the new firmware, ESCORT users will be able to detect these radar threats earlier.
The firmware also improves ESCORT’s directional arrow display that indicates the direction of a radar threat. In the past, customers said the arrows were slow to change directions after their vehicle passed the threat. The arrows now change direction more seamlessly, said ESCORT.
Lastly, false alerts, which come from the blind spot systems of other vehicles, get a quieter audible alert rather than the full blast of a true radar gun alert.
Improved features of the Redline 360c firmware update:
- Improved Filtering & Alerts: Modern vehicles use an array of radar systems that can confuse traditional radar detectors. Redline 360c is now a master of ignoring these invalid radar signals, with up-to-date filtering that can recognize automotive safety systems like adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, or emergency braking systems. This allows the detector to focus on and identify actual police radar signatures, ensuring that drivers only receive alerts that matter.
- POP Alerts: With reliable POP alerts, the Redline 360c delivers consistent detection of radar guns that use POP technology, detecting signals 10 out of 10 times, outperforming the leading competitor’s 8 out of 10 times.
- Directional Indicator Responsiveness: The new update comes with improved arrow transitions that respond more quickly and accurately to threat vector changes, so drivers have enhanced situational awareness while on the move.
- Adaptive K Band Filtering: The new K Filter toggle gives drivers unprecedented control over their detection experience, with measurable performance differences for ‘K Filter On’ and ‘K Filter Off’ scenarios, ensuring a customizable drive for different environments.
- OnStar/Wi-Fi Update: For Redline 360c users with onboard OnStar systems, this firmware update addresses connectivity issues when updating via Wi-Fi for improved reliability and better functionality.
