hello all, is there any way to tell what software version i have on my 8500 x50? also, is there anyway to upgrade it if any benefit can come from an upgrade? and if so, what are the benefits? thanks.

umm there are other threads on this topic ... anyways the serial number has the difference between M4 and S7 i think M4 is better? not sure correct me if im wrong.. and also escort has a tune up program for like 60 bucks to update software and yup ...
You can check the software version by doing a reset on the unit. If you have Rev. 5, they will not upgrade it. If you have Rev 6.1 or newer, they can add the TSR fix (K-band drone rejection) but it will not have an effect on how it picks up police radar.
You can also check the bottom of the unit for the FCCID. QKLX5M4 = upgradeable to TSR, QKL8500 = not upgradeable.
press and hold the city, dim and mute button .... passport will display a "reset" message"
you should read the manual
