Ok guys, just getting rid of some stuff I'm no longer using. So here's my Escort 8500x Radar Detector (Blue Display which matches perfect) and saved my ass a few times. Also included is the hotwire kit, super easy to install on a MKV. It's in great shape and looks new. First $190 takes it.
Looks like this:
Product Features
* Sophisticated long-range radar and laser detector reads all police, conventional, and "instant-on" radar
* Digital signal processing provides maximum range while minimizing false alarms
* Identifies up to 8 radar signals simultaneously
* Reprogrammable microprocessor can detect new radar and laser threats
* Blue matrix display with 280 LEDs; 1-year limited warranty
Technical Details
* Operating Bands: X-band - 10.525 GHz +/- 25 MHz; K-band - 24.150 GHz +/- 100 MHz; Ka-band - 34.700 GHz +/- 1300 MHz; Laser - 904nm, 33 MHz Bandwidth
* Radar Receiver/Detector Type: Superheterodyne, Varactor-Tuned VCO, Scanning Frequency Discriminator, Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
* Laser Detection: Quantum limited video receiver, multiple high-performance laser sensors
* Display Type: AlGaAs 280 LED Matrix/Text; Bar Graph, ExpertMeter, or SpecDisplay; 3-level dimming, plus dark mode
* Power Requirement: 12VDC, negative ground
* Programmable Features: Power-on indication, power-on sequence, signal strength meter, AutoMute, audio tones, city mode sensitivity, display brightness, dark mode, radar/laser bands
* Sensitivity Control: AutoSensitivity, Highway, and City
* Mute and AutoMute: Yes
* Auto Calibration Circuitry: Yes
* SmartShield VG-2 Immunity: Yes
* Dimensions: 1.25" H x 2.85" W x 5.32" L
