The key to our patented ESCORT Live™ is the real-time national reach, making it the ultimate social network for drivers. Currently there are more than a million compatible ESCORT or BELTRONICS radar detectors on the road in the United States. Multiply this data gathering and sharing process by millions of miles and driving hours and the result is a nation of protected ESCORT Live™ drivers.
Here's how it works: Imagine departing for the morning commute. Your neighbor's ESCORT radar detector encounters a laser gun; that alert information is relayed immediately to the ESCORT Live™ network as a confirmed "laser detected" threat. Later, as you head in the same direction, even when you are miles away from the waiting laser gun, your smartphone equipped with the ESCORT Live™ app displays a red "laser spotted" alert before you are in range.
ESCORT Live™ alerts are displayed with band, signal strength and frequency. Events spotted previously in the network are indicated by an "approaching live alert" message with directional location arrow and distance-to-arrive to the alert source.
Alerts appear at their coordinate location and are marked with an intuitive "heat map" decaying icon that changes color and transparency based on alert relevance.
The ESCORT Live™ app provides the latest available information on speed cameras, speed traps and speed limit data. Important driving data is displayed for compass heading, vehicle speed and over-speed alerts. Users are automatically updated with the latest detector software and select models will add our traffic sensor rejection (TSR) software to eliminate annoying false alerts from traffic flow sensors. The app features map and dashboard views with multiple user settings. Get connected today!
SmartCord Live is compatible with PASSPORT 9500ix, RedLine, and most PASSPORT 8500 X50 Models.

Comments about Escort LIVE SmartCord - Coiled - Android Version:
Purchased this for my son's Escort Passport 9500ix, which he uses in California, Arizona and New Mexico. Very impressed with its ability to couple with his HTC/Android and the networking function of alerts. Definitely a great safety device and protector from overly zealous law enforcement.

Comments about Escort LIVE SmartCord - Coiled - Android Version:
Seems like a great idea. I am sure, as an initial buyer, there will be a time lag as others obtain this product, which, on paper is a great idea! So far, mine has been reluctant to recognize my detector, but after unplugging, rebooting, turning off and on, it eventually hooks up. So far. Help tech is weak at best. I asked what the range setting (on the app, not the detector) was for, and was told there was none, then, after some discussion, was told that was for the screen size. Not. The app has crashed my Android twice so far, requiring a cold boot by removing the battery and replacing it. When it is working, it seems rather cool. I have a one thousand mile round trip coming up next week for business, and I am looking forward to see how it works on the slab. Best thing so far is you can block out local false alerts without sinking money into a GPS detector. I have an Escort 9500. My bottom line is merely based on my experience to date. I reserve the right to change my rating at a later date.
