Description


The Ultimate Protection

We've all driven a little faster than we should have at one point or another. Some of us drive a little faster than we should more often than others so a lower end radar detector just isn't going to cut it. False alarms or warnings that come on too late are going to lead to expensive tickets and worse than that, you've invested in a product that doesn't work as well as it should. Isn't it time you stepped up to something better that's guaranteed to work all the time, every time? Then it's time to check out the Escort 8500 X50. The ultimate in vehicle protection.

Enhanced Radar Protection

The enhanced "V-tuned" radar receiver provides extreme long range warning on all radar bands all X, K and SuperWide Ka band radar guns, including "instant-on" and "POP" modes.

High Performance Laser Receiver

The 8500 X50 incorporates a highly sensitive laser circuit into the front receiver in order to provide an immediate alert of a targeting laser gun. For the ultimate in laser defense, add on the Shifter Pack.
