Default Escort Passport 8500: Difference in "RED" & "BLUE" models?

Anyone tell me what the difference in these are?

Thanks.

I've got a lot of road trips coming up and can't afford anymore tickets.

If you don't care about the color then red is obviously the way to go, I think it's like 30 bucks cheaper, something like that.

I will have to say this unit has saved me a few times works great!!! Highly recomend the remote cancel switch as well if your using it in a F-Body, to far to reach for the window. Here is a picture of how I mounted my cancel switch. Great spot for driving in town.

Do you have a direct wire? did you splice into anything?

I think I tied in to the radio power feed, for the key on-off power.
