  1. As valuable as radar detectors are, it can also help to have fellow travelers alerting you to police officers ahead. The Escort iX Radar Detector and Escort MAX360 Radar Detector connect to a smartphone app that allows users to report all radar and laser encounters, with the information reported as alerts through the detector.
  2. Your Escort device registration does not automatically register you to the Escort Radar forum. To post a question on the Escort Radar forum, you will first need to register to the forum.

Just and update for you Escort users.. A new version of Escort Detector Tools is out. It will update when you run Escort Detector tools. It is version v. 1.11.18
When I initially ran it (I have a Passport Max - but didn't have it connected initially)
I saw this screen:
And was like great.. they finally added something new for this -- But,.. once I conncected my detector it went away, that tab and screen is gone.
The Remove Location Types is not grayed out (IIRC it was grayed out in the last version.. maybe someone can confirm that for me, with the P. Max and old version of Detector Tools). So that's an improvement of functionality if so.. If not.. then it's an update that for the P. Max does nothing,.. but for other detectors it does something, an update doesn't occur for no reason lol. I imagine the 9500, and such detectors get some help with bugs, etc.
Here's a video of when I plugged in my Passport Max to it, as I was testing to see if that screen above was going to be available.. and of course it wasn't. Oh well:

Home > How to Update Your Escort Radar Detector

Do you have an Escort radar detector that you need to update?

Several times a month Escort releases a new update to their Defender photo enforcement database and they also occasionally have updates to the firmware of their radar detectors, which you can download and install right from the comfort of your home.

To do this Escort has a program called Radar Detector tools and during this video I’m sharing here with you now, I’ll walk you through step by step on exactly how to obtain this program and do your updates.

Escort Radar Software

The first step is to go to Escort’s website at EscortRadar.com and click on the link Product Registration.

Then select your product from the list and click on the corresponding link.

On the following page you will get this form where you will need to enter your name and register your detector.

Then on the following page you will need to agree to Escort’s terms of services by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page.

And then this following page there are instructions on how to use the program and this green box you click on to download the Windows version.

Now if you have a Mac, like I do, you will need to scroll all the way down and click on the link for the detector you own, in this video I have the Passport Max, which I’ll be updating.

A window will then pop open asking you if you want to open or save the program, in this case I’ll be opening the program.

Now just follow the prompts and the location where you want to install the program.

Now before we plug in our detector we want to make sure that we have the latest version of the program installed with the correct drivers.

So after launching the program, click on the Menu Escort Detector Tools and then drivers.

Then follow the instructions on the install.

Next I recommend checking for application Updates to make sure you have the latest program.

Now connect your radar detector to your computer using an A/B USB cable and Radar Detector tools will begin authenticating your detector and your serial number should then appear in this green box.

Now lets just do a quick run down on the menu options, first under the Escort Detector Tools menu we have About, Escort’s License agreement, Drivers, application updates and quit detector tools.

Next under manual updates we have an option to only update your Defender database or just the Firmware.

Then under advanced options we have Save Locations which enables you to store any marked locations you have saved on your detector and then restore which enables you to restore any saved locations.

I always recommend saving your locations before doing any updates, just incase of a problem.

So we will do this first by clicking on the menu advanced options, save locations and selecting a folder on your computer where you will save the data.

Depending on how many saved locations you have, this can take about a minute or two and when it’s finished a banner like this will appear.

Next lets begin the process of updating our Firmware and Defender database by clicking on the green circle with the arrow.

This process takes a few minutes depending on your Internet speed and first downloads the firmware updates and once successful erases your old firmware and reinstalls the new firmware to your radar detector.

Then the next process if applicable would begin the process of updating your Defender database.

When the entire process is completed you’ll get a banner just like this one saying that your updates were successful.
