What is the difference between the Escort 8500x50 Red and Escort 8500x50 Blue

We get asked this question daily and here is the simple answer. The Escort 8500x50 Red & Escort 8500x50 Blue radar detectors are exactly the same with the exception of a red or blue display. We as most people question why such a huge price difference of $40 and we are told the Blue LED's cost more money to produce. Our personal opinion is save the $40 and get the 8500x50 Red unless your vehicle interior is Blue and you really want your radar detector to match.

What is the difference between Escort 8500x50 and 9500ix

Its no secret that the Escort 9500ix is designed from the platform of the award winning Escort 8500x50 radar detector. The Escort 9500ix radar detector has almost identical performance as the Escort 8500x50 but the Escort 9500ix has an integrated GPS antenna.

Having GPS in a radar detector is not for directions, Its for notifying you of red light cameras and fixed speed cameras and for giving you the ability to mark and ignore false alerts.

The Escort Passport 9500ix puts an end to false alarms. The GPS TruLock feature allows you to simply press a button to captures the location coordinates and the exact frequency of the false alert signal and stores them in memory. Once stored, TrueLock will reject these signals the next time you pass the same location. It is intelligent enough to warn you of a new or different signals in that same location but will ignore the false memorized alert.

Cobra Radar Detector Model Explanations

Ok, We get questions daily regarding what are the differences between all the current Cobra radar detector models. Below is a listing of all the current cobra radar detector models and a brief summary of the important differences.

1. XRS-9345
2. XRS-9445
3. XRS-9545
4. XRS-9645
5. XRS-9745
6. XRS-9845
7. XRS-9945
8. XRS-9955
9. XRS-9965 (2010 Model)
10. XRS-9960G
11. XRS-9970G (2010 Model)
12. XRS-R8
12. XRS-R10G

So there are quite a bunch of different sku's but here all all that you need to know. The XRS-9345 --> XRS-9545 are the same with some feature differences.

XRS-9345 - Base Model (LED Display)
XRS-9445 - Same as XRS-9345 but adds Voice Alerts
XRS-9545 - Same as XRS-9445 but adds a better TEXT display

Now the next set of models XRS-9645 --> XRS-9970G are also basically the same performance as each other with the exception of features and displays. All these units use a different antenna than the lower end models so the performance is better which will give you more time to react.

XRS-9645 - Base Model - (Text Display)
XRS-9745 - Same as XRS-9645 but adds Voice Alerts
XRS-9845 - Same as XRS-9745 but includes a LCD Blue Graphic Display and it can connect to the optional Cobra GPS locator for Red Light and Fixed Camera protection.
XRS-9945 - Same as XRS-9845 but includes a MULTI COLOR Graphic Display
XRS-9955 - Same as XRS-9945 but includes a LARGER LCD Multi Color Graphic Display
XRS-9965 - Same as XRS-9955 but it includes the new Touch Screen LCD Display which is new for 2010
XRS-9960G - Same as XRS-9955 but it includes the GPS Locator for Red Light and Fixed Camera protection.
XRS-9970G - Same as XRS-9960G but it includes the new Touch Screen LCD Display which is new for 2010

XRS-R8 & XRS-R10G are basically the same as the XRS-9955 & XRS9960G but they are not windshield mounted units, The XRS-R8 + XRS-R10G come with 2 components. The main component gets mounted on the top of your windshield next to your rear view mirror. This component is basically the control module and the radar and laser sensors.

They come with a wireless remote control that can be mounted anywhere for menu controls and alert displays.

XRS-R8 does not come with the GPS Locator for red light and fixed camera protection while the XRS-R10G includes the GPS Locator. That is the only difference between these two models.

PNI Sensoro Steel Eye RW3100 Cordless Radar Detector

We acquired a large shipment of the PNI Sensoro RW3100 Steel Eye radar detectors which retailed at $169.95, We have them on special for only $69.95 while supplies last.
The PNI RW3100 was the first and one of the very few current cordless radar detectors with the capability to detect the newer POP mode radar guns. The RW3100 operates on 2 rechargeable AA Batteries or the included power cord. Battery charger is also included so you do not need to keep buying batteries for this unit.
Getting a detector for $69.95 that is cordless and can also detect POP radar is unheard of at this price. For more information vist our website: http://www.bestradardetectors.net/
