"Lives up to all the reviews! I say this because I really haven't heard any negative feedback. It's easy to use, looks great, and the range is really great too. One thing I was really happy about was the secure mounting of the suction cups while the unit stays level. I ordered my direct wire to give it the clean custom look for it's final touch!"

"I havent extensivlely used it yet, but the Passport 8500 seems to be a very good detector. The Ka band seems to be very popular though and a lot of the warnings in Ka are privately generated. That might cause you to put down your guard and not react fast enough to legitimate warnings - probably not a very easy way around this, since some law enforcement might use Ka as well."

"Used the detector for the first time this weekend, from Houston to our ranch in west Texas. I would have been stopped a minimum of four times for sure, if I did not have the Escort. I never believed in radar detectors, but to sound like an infomercial 'I'm a believer'..... Worth every penny."
