Product Description
Take Ticket Protection to the Max
The all-new PASSPORT Max, the first and only detector with High-Definition Radar Performance, delivers breakthrough radar performance like no other. It covers all radar and laser bands and enables you to drive worry-free. The PASSPORT Max is like no other detector. Its refined styling is subtle, yet strong. Its performance is stunning, yet smart and intelligent. The PASSPORT Max raises the bar once again.
Fastest Response & Remarkable Accuracy
Our all-new receiver incorporates advanced military technology called Digital Signal Processing (DSP). This unique method of scanning enables the PASSPORT Max to identify real threats faster and more accurately than any other detector. Quicker response time means more advanced warning against instant on radar threats.
In addition to providing lightning-fast response, the PASSPORT Max also looks for a signature or the DNA of the signal and sorts out the real threats from a myriad of other signals with precision. The result is a quiet experience in a world of noise.
Multi-color OLED display allows you to customize the PASSPORT Max's appearance and identify threats at a glanceview larger
New Multi-Color OLED Display
The new multi-color graphic display is stunning. Brilliant new graphics illuminate intuitive icons that identify the type of threat at a glance. In addition, user-selectable backlit colors allow you to choose a color that works best with your vehicle's interior gauges.
Intuitive Controls
The PASSPORT Max can be set up for your specific type of driving and personal preference. Our Preferences option allows you to change several options, including which radar bands you'd like to monitor and which meter you would like to see when a signal is detected. Regardless of how you drive, we've got you covered.
AutoLearn: Artificial Intelligence Protection
Intelligence is also packed into this ticket-protecting marvel. Our patented AutoLearn technology uses the power of GPS and the exact frequency to learn and automatically reject unwanted door openers and other fixed position false alarms. The result is the most accurate long-range protection in the industry and a permanent solution to false alarms.

Speed traps and camera locations are everywhere! We've addressed the increasing number of "safety" cameras installed throughout the U.S. and Canada by pre-loading the PASSPORT Max with our exclusive DEFENDER Database of active red light and speed camera locations throughout North America. As you approach these locations, the MAX will alert you in advance; you can even add your own "hot spots" using our exclusive Mark Location feature.
Web Ready
Weekly updates are available via the ESCORT website to keep you up-to-date with the latest changes in North America. Simply download our Detector Tools program, connect the MAX to either a PC or Mac with an active internet connection and then download the most up-to-date locations. You can even back up your data or update the detector's operating software (firmware) if needed.
DEFENDER Database Subscriptions
DEFENDER Database Subscriptions are available to keep you up to date on future Speed Traps, Red Light Cameras and Speed Cameras.
High-Performance Laser Protection
PASSPORT Max's multiple high-performance laser sensors provide maximum laser warning, with superior off-axis protection. For the ultimate in laser protection add the optional ZR4 Laser Shifter.
Variable Speed Sensitivity - On Demand Performance
Our patented GPS technology allows the detector to provide alerts based on what the vehicle is actually doing. At highway speeds, you need the best long-range sensitivity you can get. At slower speeds, the sensitivity can be adjusted to further reduce unneeded alerts, especially when you're not at risk. We've even changed the actual alert to a short double-tone when your vehicle is moving less than 20 mph.
Crystal-Clear Voice Alerts
PASSPORT's unique voice alerts provide clear communications for alerts and menu options. Now you can keep your eyes on the road without unnecessary distractions.
Traffic Sensor Rejection
The PASSPORT Max includes our proprietary Traffic Sensor Rejection (TSR) software to eliminate false alerts.
Compatible with ESCORT Live
PASSPORT Max is compatible with ESCORT Live, our exclusive real-time ticket-protection network, which warns you of upcoming alerts received and reported by other users in the area, and gives you access to local speed limit data for over-speed alerts. (Requires optional SmartCord Live and app subscription.)

"...] As best I can tell, the Passport Max works pretty good as a detector. I didn't get any tickets over a couple of lengthy road trips...." Read more
Customers like the speed of the radar detector. For example, they say it picks up frequencies way quicker, gives a constant reading of your speed, and gives alerts in plenty of time. That said, they appreciate the GPS for speed, which is very helpful. They also say it correctly identifies known speed traps, red light cameras, and speed cameras.
"...The range is great and allows well more than adequate time/distance to slow down when necessary...." Read more
"...The speed display is handy, almost like having a HUD on the dash.The sticky cup mount seems to work well, I do think it's too large and too obvious...." Read more
"...Let me write the good things first :1. The process of identifying false alarms (at same location) and memorizing them is really cool.2...." Read more
"...The bad:1. The price2. The GPS feature sometimes takes a mile to locate itself, and you get this annoying "lost GPS signal"..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the quality of the radar detector. Some mention it's a good product, great at picking up radar signals, and the lockout feature is great. However, others say that it has poor construction, the mount hanging unit swings constantly, and it can't be updated.
"...2-has one of the longest detection ranges.3-it can eliminate some of the false signals that cars with collision avoidance features have...." Read more
"...Short and sweetly put, this is an excellent RD. The range is great and allows well more than adequate time/distance to slow down when necessary...." Read more

However, others say it is a major pain to install, complicated to program, and the instructions are very limited. They also mention that mounting it is challenging and the display is cramped.
"...This style mount makes it VERY easy to remove and reattach the detector...." Read more
"...The new display is "eh" cramped and difficult if you dash mount where sun can get to it...." Read more
"...This all went incredibly easy and there where no issues at all with any of the steps...." Read more
"...No programming or 900 page manuals required. I would definitely buy this again." Read more

Now for the detector itself. I wouldnt call myself a SPEEDER. I do find myself driving 5-10 mph over the limit regularly, and in my area, that's enough to get a ticket. This thing works great. The first few days, it was giving me K band alerts constantly on the highway I drive on regularly, that was just completed last year. Being a brand new highway, it is full of technology. Every mile or so it has the traffic monitoring sensors, which I'm guessing is where all the K band alerts were coming from. After a few days of driving, the GPS built into the radar detector "remembered" these areas and locked them out as false threats. I still get a visual alert on the unit itself, but it does not sound the audible alarm any longer. Same goes for the supermarket up the street from my house. Automatic doors at some stores use a low strength radar signal to know when a person is approaching. This signal is picked up by detectors on the roads in front of these places. The first couple times I passed by the supermarket, the radar detector went off. After the 3rd time driving by, it automatically stored the location, and also locked it out from sounding the audible alarm whenever I drive by. I love this feature!
After just a few weeks of driving, this detector has now learned of all the false threats along my regular route, and stays very quiet. It's now to the point where I am almost startled when I receive a real alert from the radar detector, as this almost always means its from a legit source. That is what you want out of a radar detector. The cheaper detectors on the market constantly make so much noise, your first reaction is just to assume it's a false alert. That's when you get caught speeding.
Lastly, I am impressed with the distance that this detector will pick up threats from. It will start to detect a signal, and of course I start looking for where it's coming from. Nothing in sight. The alert continually gets stronger and sometimes it's another mile or more down the road before I finally see the police officer the radar is coming from. I've been nothing but impressed by this radar detector. Sure there are newer and more expensive versions of this detector, but for the money, this cant be beat. And for the people like me that almost bought the 9500ix because it had more and better reviews, the Max detector is the 9500ix predecessor, and offers more options and better performance in every way. Don't be fooled by the lack of reviews here on Amazon.
Pro:
1-has GPS which helps locate red light cameras & helps tag false alarm locations.
2-has one of the longest detection ranges.
3-it can eliminate some of the false signals that cars with collision avoidance features have. These cars with collision avoidance radar will trick lesser detectors and create a lot of false signals.
4-it will detect pop radar and laser.
5-can be customized in many ways including display color and information that is displayed.
6-has a beginner mode for anyone that just wants to turn it on and go. Has an expert mode if you want to get the most of it.
Cons:
It is pricier than some basic models. (Buying this will still get you more than what you are paying for).
It is by far the "quietest" detector I have had, which can be a little disconcerting at times. Rage is good, and the automatic GPS lockouts for static signals has been effective in suburban traffic. The red-light camera warning has saved me a couple times as well. It is not as effective on off-axis (coming around a bend) signals, had one police SUV come around a bend that caught it off-guard. It has signaled laser hits on occasion, but I have not been able to verify the source of the signals by sight, so I don't know they are legit or false. I don't expect this thing to be super at laser detection and will use a stand alone shifter for that purpose.
