About the Escort RedLine
The pros at Escort designed the RedLine radar detector to do one thing — give you the best information as early as possible. This advanced travel companion features dual antennas for high sensitivity and superior long-range detection capability. You can drive with confidence with the RedLine in your vehicle, while TotalShield™ protection avoids detection by current radar detector detection technologies.
Twin antennas
The RedLine's twin antennas — tuned specifically for the X, K, Ka, and POP radar bands — give you the earliest possible warnings for bands across the board. It features multiple laser sensors, including a dedicated rear laser port to detect laser signals from behind your vehicle. It'll even detect SWS and other emergency channels, so you'll be up to date on road hazards. Patented digital signal processing analyzes incoming transmissions and filters out the noise, minimizing annoying false alerts.
Easy to use
The user-friendly RedLine makes it easy to take advantage of its awesome technology. A high-definition alphanumeric display provides you with instant readouts on signal type and strength, and you can switch to advanced modes for additional information. Three different sensitivity modes let you adjust the RedLine for city and highway driving.
You'll hear clear digital voice alerts, and you can utilize mute settings to adjust the volume level or turn them off completely. A built-in alert lamp provides additional visual warning for extra protection. You can adjust the overall brightness of the RedLine's visual features, or go to full dark mode for total stealth.
SmartCord and travel case
Escort includes a coiled SmartCord 12-volt adapter with a mute button, alert light, and power-on indicator, as well as a handy travel case to keep your investment safe.
Add Escort Live!™ for extra protection
The RedLine is compatible with the Escort Live! service, which allows you to track real-time radar threats in your vicinity using your Bluetooth® enabled smartphone and the free Escort Live! app. Your phone's GPS information provides access to reported radar data from other Escort Live! users in your vicinity, and you can report radar hotspots so others driving in your wake will know about potential encounters. You'll need to purchase an Escort Live! cord for your iPhone® or Android™ phone, and a subscription fee is also required to use the Escort Live! service.

Features
Overview: The Escort RedLine radar, laser, and safety detector includes full X, K, SuperWide Ka, and Safety Warning System radar capability with front and rear laser detection. It also features dual antenna with varactor-tuned (VTO) microwave receiver, digital signal processing (DSP) for superior range and reduced false alarms, Mute and AutoMute functions, as well as audible and visual band alerts.
TotalShield Technology: TotalShield technology makes the RedLine completely invisible to radar detector detectors.
Dual Antenna Design: The Escort RedLine's new twin antenna design introduces an all new level of radar performance. Tuned specifically for each radar band, this approach enables RedLine to deliver the longest possible warning on all radar bands, including the latest "POP" mode.
Operating Bands | Frequency |
---|---|
X-band | 10.525 GHZ (+/-25 MHz) |
K-band | 24.150 GHZ (+/-100 MHz) |
Ka-band | 34.700 GHZ (+/-1300 MHz) |
Laser Detection: The RedLine's multiple laser sensor are strategically positioned to detect even the smallest amount of laser light, including off-axis signals. Operating Laser band - 904nm, 33 MHz bandwidth.
Sensitivity Levels: You can choose from three levels of sensitivity; including Highway (full sensitivity), Auto (filtered mode), and Auto NoX (filtered but without X-Band).
- Highway: The Highway (full sensitivity) setting is recommended for best overall performance.
- Auto: The Auto mode provides long-range warning, but uses patented logic to minimize false alarms from automatic door openers, etc. In this mode, RedLine's internal computer continuously analyzes all incoming signals and intelligently filters them.
- Auto NoX: This mode is particular helpful when driving in urban areas where annoying X-band intrusion alarms and door openers are common. Auto NoX mode can be engaged to turn off the X-band completely to eliminate these types of alerts. Full sensitivity is maintained on all other bands.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Escort's patented AutoMode logic continuously analyzes all incoming signal and automatically rejects unwanted false alarms. The result is long-range protection without unnecessary alerts.
TSR Software: TSR (Threat-Signal Ranking) software intelligently sorts, ranks, and rejects false alarms automatically in X and K-band sources. The result is ultimate protection without excessive false alarms.
Easy-to-Use: The Escort RedLine is simple to use and operate. Preset at the factory, RedLine is optimized for North America. However, you can customize the unit to meet your specific driving style.
LED Display with Brightness Control: RedLine's alphanumeric display consists of 280 individual LEDs to provide an intuitive ultra-bright display of signal strength and text messages. RedLine has four levels of brightness, including automatic which adjusts the display brightness based on the ambient light in the vehicle. You can also select full-dark mode and use the power-on and alert indicators on the SmartCord for complete stealth operation.
Signal Strength Meter: RedLine's standard bar-graph signal strength meter only displays information on a single rear signal. If there are multiple signals present, RedLine's internal computer determines which signal is the most important threat to show on the bar-graph meter. When the RedLine detects radar, it displays the band (X, K, or Ka), and a precise bar-graph of the signal strength. When RedLine detects a laser signal, the display with show "Laser". When it detects a POP signal, the display will show "POP.
ExpertMeter: The ExpertMeter is a miniature spectrum analyzer that shows what band each signal is on and its relative signal strength. RedLine's ExpertMeter simultaneously tracks up to 8 radar signals. It provides detailed information on up to (2) Ka-band, (2) K-band, and (4) X-band signals. The ExpertMeter can help you spot a change in your normal driving environment.
SpecDisplay: The RedLine's SpecDisplay option is for the experience detector user. In this mode, the RedLine will display the actual numeric frequency of the radar signal being received.
Clear Digital Voice Alerts: RedLine's easy to understand digital voice alerts keep you informed without taking your eyes of the road. The RedLine provides digital voice announcements of radar and laser bands detected. If Safety Radar (SWS) is turned on, a safety message will also be announced. You can manually adjust the volume up or down.
Audible Alerts: RedLine uses a geiger-counter-like sound to indicate the signal strength and type of radar signal being encountered. When you encounter radar, RedLine's audible alert will sound and occur faster as the signal gets stronger. This allows you to judge the distance from the signal source without taking your eyes off the road. Each band has a distinct tone for easy identification; X-band (beeping), K-band (brap), Ka-band (double-brap), POP (full double brap), and Safety (double-beep).
Note: Laser and POP signals are a possible threat no matter how weak, RedLine always alerts you to these bands at full signal strength.
Mute and AutoMute: RedLine comes with Escort's AutoMute feature, which automatically reduces the volume level during an alert. After you encounter and alert at the volume you selected, the AutoMute features will automatically reduce the volume to a lower level. this keeps you informed without the annoyance of a continuous full-volume alert. Or, simply press the Mute button on the detector or SmartCord during an alert to instantly quiet the audio.
High/Low Voltage Warning: A high and low voltage warning is given any time the vehicle's voltage goes above 16.5 volts or drops below 10.5 volts.
SmartCord: The RedLine comes with Escort's unique coiled SmartCord 12-volt adapter which supplies power to the radar detector while in your vehicle. The SmartCord 12-volt adapter features a convenient mute button, alert lamp, and power indicator.
StickyCup Magnetic Windshield Mount: The Escort RedLine radar detector comes with the new magnetic StickyCup windshield bracket that is designed to mount the unit on the center of the windshield between the driver and passenger. The StickyCup is a large 2-1/2" diameter suction cup with a thumbwheel for angle adjustment. The RedLine is held in place on the mount by a strong magnet. A dual-adhesive hook-and-loop pad is also included if you wish to mount the unit on the dash.
Carrying Case: The Escort RedLine comes with a carrying case to protect the radar detector when not in use.
