    Default My ("NEW") Escort Mount Review/Feedback:

    As many members on here know Escort gave out ~100 units to be tested by members from their forum... to test and give feed-back on a pre-production mount.



    Here is mine (I made a video review so people could actually see it working)... showing the good/bad things much more in-depth then words can convey.


    I have been using it for a month, and just today I took an hour or so this afternoon to make this for you forum members who might be seeing this mount soon and for Escort to see hopefully:

    HQ @ Youtube for best results:

    A "thanks" to Escort, and I hope they like the feedback.

    Very comprehensive and thorough review. I have to admit though, being a newbie here and looking at your avatar, the main reason I clicked on the review was to check out the hot chick

    Great Video !!

    I had similar results with my test mount.
    I thought it looked better, was well engineered and more soild.

    HOWEVER, in my Acura TL the new mount was not usable because I could not bend the bracket enough, and the RD pointed towards the sky.

    Not only could I bend the old mount more, but by bending it until the suction cup tops hit the detector, it seemed to cushion and stabilize the unit more.

    So, Escort will find that it's more than sport cars that cannot use the new mount.
    I've got to give them credit for its sleek design however.

    Awesome tutorial of the mount, right on the money... However and in IMO the suction cups are too feeble, they become flat and wont stick any more within a few weeks. Mine fell off the window 2 times.

    X2, Didn’t do well with my 04 TL ether. But because i gave the original one to my GF i made it work with my high mount and bending it as far as possible on my 9500ix.
