When you need an update, how do you go about doing it? Do they send you the "disk" and you hook it to a PC and download it yourself, or do you send it directly to Escort?

Man, that sure would be nice: we could just download updates from the website, hook the detector to our PC with a cable, and flash the updates right in...maybe they'll do it one of these days...

They could EASILY do that, but...Then they wouldn't be able to sell as many RDs. I think they should say something like free flash updates for one year from purchase. Then after that charge us a nominal fee to download upgrades...

Maybe. Check your X50 version, start a new thread, post your version, others will post theirs and then we will know if you have the latest version. If you bought from Roy you probably do...

not really I my detector i bought from a not authorized dealer and it works fine but after trying to get help and questions answered from BEL i had a bit trouble my next detecotr hopefully i will not have to buy one soon but I'm going to buy from a licenced dealer and what ever is the current best in both radar and laser detection...I'm interested in the X50 due to expert mode and the V! due to it's outstanding laser detection...but curently I'm saving for a jammer.

but the reason i said to send it back to escort is how you get software upgrades

Plus, it would give us the option to set up complex filters like the V1 has for delays, mutes, etc, just a lot easier. Custom firmwares could be made. Really would be nice.

Good idea...If people can hack the firmwares of everything from Cellphones to Xboxes, you know there are people out there that could hack RDs. We just need to get some really good super-geeks to get interested in our hobby.

I think it was Sethy that had some experience with the motorola processor that's used in the X50/RX65.
