ESCORT SMARTCORD LIVE: IPHONE & ANDROID VERSION

My smart cord wouldn't communicate with my 4 year old escort 8500. The detector needed to install a firmware update and wouldn't accept the update.This is where it gets great!I called escort tech support. The tech support person picked up on the second ring!!!!!No computer!!!! No voice mail!!! Just service!!!I told the tech what the issue is and he gave me an "RMA" number to ship both pieces to Escort.The detector and cord were repaired and shipped back to me.They picked up on the second ring!!! Why can't other companies do that???

Love this little gadget. Make sure you sign up thru Escort site customer service is responsive. I was so sick of my Redline picking up K bands but I didnt want to turn off the K band. This did the trick! Now I can pick which signals to completely block out.

So basically you need a smart phone and Bluetooth for this to work, if you use an older phone or flip phone this thing is useless. You get one year free subscription but after that you must pay monthly or you can pay for the year.

The brightness on my old cord was one of the reasons I purchased this. Depending on how the coord was situated it would blind me in the eyes from the blue LED. This cord does not do that and the LEDs great. The bluetooth is a great feature if you have escort live and connectivity is solid. The only downside to the coord is the length of the cord. It unfortunately is really long and I have had to tuck the majority of the cable away to keep it out of the way of the shifter. The coiled portion of the coord is only a short portion on the bottom and the rest is a straight coord. I like the coiled version because it was the same amount of cord but took up less real estate. Otherwise its a great cord and I'm happy with the purchase.

Don't work will be sending it back in the morning,My advice is buy a Escort with built in Escort live....

Works great with my iPhone and Apple Watch. With the app running on my iPhone my watch will vibrate when the detector detects police radar. The smart cord automatically and quickly connects to my iPhone via Bluetooth. Setup was pretty easy.

Works extremely well and the built in charging port for the phone is great. The only knock is it's a bit cumbersome in size but if you want a clean install purchase the hardwired option.

It greatly met my expectations, but when I purchased the Bel V10 radar detector initially, there was no distinguishing between the "Smart Cord" included and the "Smart Cord" that I needed to purchase separately.

Great product does what it says and shipping was super fast thx
