Hey guys I was looking at getting the Escort Passport 8500 x50 but know nothing what so vere about these things lol. So all I want to know is can I just plug it into my lighter and put it on my windsheild and it will work? It doesn't need any kind of wiring or anything right? I just wanna buy it plug it in and be off. Thanks for your input and if this is a stupid question I'm sorry lol.

 

no wiring needed though a lot of people hardwire them because it looks a lot better. they come with a cord that plugs into your cig lighter. has a mute button on it too so you don't have to reach up to it to mute it.

I have one and it's a really good detector. I would recomend it. I also have it hardwired and it looks a lot better. Only takes like 10 minutes to do because you can buy a cord from Escort and there is a spot in the fuse box to plug it in. All you need to do is run the wire.

 

+1 for the 8500 X50. I love mine. I'm gonna give it a few weeks to get used to all the different kinds of alerts go'n off before I customize it to my preference.

 

The "Expert mode" is great. You can see like 8 radar sources in your area. Just get used to what kind of source makes the different sounds.

 

yea dude it comes ready to go. Just mont it to your windshield, plug it in your cigarette lighter and your good to go
