I've heard the batteries on the cordless ones die fast. I have 2 Escort Passports (looking to sell the 8500 X50 Blue). It comes with the hardwire kit and mounting clip. PM me if you're interested. They go new for $300 + about $50 for the hardwiring kit. I'll make you a good deal if you're inteterested. :awesomework:

Fix your cig lighter! Did you check the fuses and relays?

This is what I have in my daily driver and I love it

I couldn't Even tell you where the wires are for it... this car was a hackjob when i bought it, There are still random wires under the hood i don't know what they are for. that one, like Slide clip connecter thing, is somewhere under the carpet, i pulled it out and hooked it to the Back of the cig lighter for shits n giggles, now i just need to find the what i think is the power... but I am in no rush, lol I guess I will have to hardwire all my blue lights too.. ugh...

That is a decent deal, but it's old technology. The 8500 was the predecessor of the 8500 x50. the x50 is more sensitive and offers longer detection range. It also offers POP protection (new method used by troopers where radar guns operate at low frequency until they are switched on to normal strength to determine a driver's actual speed), which the original 8500 didn't. ;)
