    Take my word for it. Escort will never update their detectors.
    They say that their detector is upgradable for a selling point
    but when it comes down to it they change the hardware
    which forces you to buy a new unit.

    Others will back me on this.

    :idea:

    Yeah, there's this guy in a car forum I frequent and he is an X50 zombie. He swears that Escorts can be upgraded just like a V1. I hope he holds his breath for the next update to come.

    Is it not correct if you have a Passport 8500 or whatever and its Ver. 5.0 it can be sent in for update but it cant be upgraded to a later Ver. 6.1 since the hardware is different?

    check out guysoflidar.com

    we just did a test comparing different horn designs.

    basically the older REV 5 is based on the S7 platform. typically this detector is rumored to have cost more to manufacturer, so they cut costs with rev 6.1 & rev 6.3 in return you got what I believe to be an inferior product & inferior performance.

    rev 5's are the legend of the X50 platform.

    Humm....... I was thinking that since the Hardware had been changed
    that a Rev 5 X50 couldn't be upgraded to a Rev 6.
