Features

Overview: The Escort Max 360c Mk II offers front and rear radar, as well as 360° laser protection. This Mk II version features an upgraded dual-antenna and the Blackfin® DSP chip for better detection with fewer false alerts, and extended range. The Max 360c Mk II has Dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so you can receive new alerts from other users through the Drive Smarter app as they come in. The detector comes with the magnetic EZ Mag Mount, SmartCord power adapter, and a soft-side zippered travel case.

Extended Range: The detector features new internal components and an improved, dual-antenna platform to provide up to 50% better range and faster response. New filtering software and better processing means fewer false alerts and a quieter ride.

GPS Technology: The Max 360c Mk II has an embedded GPS receiver, and uses GPS technology to identify and eliminate false alarms. The GPS-powered TrueLock Filter lets you lock out false alerts by "marking" the location so the detector can reject the signal the next time you approach the area. The unit is also pre-loaded with the Defender database of thousands of safety camera locations, including red light and fixed photo radar sites, and will warn you when you are approaching these sites. You can update the Defender database through the Escort website, or when connected to your smartphone or connected car via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi/Bluetooth: The Escort Max 360c Mk II is equipped with Dual-Band Wi-Fi (2.4 or 5 GHz) and Bluetooth to give you access to real-time alerts from other users through the Drive Smarter app. If you have a new "connected" vehicle with on-board Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot, the detector lets you connect to the app without the need for a smartphone. If Wi-Fi isn't available, you can pair your smartphone to the Max 360c Mk II to gain access to the Drive Smarter app. Software updates are also available wirelessly through Wi-Fi.

OLED Display: The Max 360c Mk II features a new multi-color, OLED graphic display with intuitive icons that identify the type of threat at a glance. You can set the display to blue, green, red, or amber to match your vehicle's interior gauges, or to suit your personal preference. The brightness of the display can be set to Dark, Minimum, Medium, Maximum, or Auto.

Signal-Strength Meters: The unit offers eight different display meters to indicate the signal-strength of the detected signal:

• Standard: Primary alert band + front signal strength bar graph
• Standard FR1: Primary alert band + front and rear signal strength bar graphs
• Standard FR2: Primary and secondary alert bands + front and rear signal strength bar graphs
• Spec: Primary alert band with numeric frequency and only front signal strength bar graph
• Spec FR1: Primary alert band with numeric frequency + front and rear signal strength bar graphs
• Spec FR2: Primary alert band with numeric frequency, secondary alert band +  front and rear signal strength bar graphs
• Expert FR: Up to four alert bands with front and rear signal strength bar graphs for each
• Simple: Simple messages replace alert band and signal strength bar graphs: Caution (if traveling below cruise alert limit) or Slow Down (if traveling above cruise alert limit)

Threat Direction Arrows: The Max 360c Mk II has four directional arrows around the display that indicate the direction of the threat. Arrows indicate left and right side, as well as front and back. There are three arrow modes to choose from:

• Single: Single mode displays arrows indicating only the direction of the primary threat in the selected display color.
• Multiple: Threat-direction arrows are displayed for multiple threats. If the Max 360c Mk II detects multiple threats, the arrow pointing to the primary threat will blink, while the one for the secondary threat will not. The front and side arrows will be in your selected display color, while the rear arrow will be an opposite color.
• Band: In Band arrow mode, the threat-direction arrows are color-coded to the band being detected: Green (X band), Blue (K band), or Red (Ka band/Laser).

Drive Smarter® App: You can enhance your MAX 360c Mk II experience with the new Drive Smarter® app. The app lets you share and receive radar and laser alerts, red light cameras, speed cameras, and police spotted alerts through the Drive Smarter community. You can make changes to the detector's settings through the app, as well as update its software. The app's Mayday Alert feature allows you to set up an emergency contact that you can instantly notify of an emergency. The app also tracks Incident Reports to keep up with repairs and insurance claims after an accident. Drive Smarter is compatible with iPhone and iPod touch with iOS 13.1 or later, and Android devices running Android 9.0 and up.

GPS-powered Features: The Max 360c Mk II's built-in GPS gives you access to several features:

• AutoLearn: GPS technology is used to "learn" the source of radar signals by location and frequency, and determine if the signal is a real threat or a false one. If the alert comes from an automatic door opener or motion sensor, the Max 360c Mk II automatically locks out this source at this particular location. The unit can also "unlearn" signals that are no longer present at a particular location to protect you from locking out real threats.
• Mark Location (MRK): The "MRK" button allows you to mark a specific location and label it for future reference. Once the location is marked and labeled, the unit will provide an alert for red light or speed cameras, speed traps, or other danger zones.
• Over-speed Alert: You can set a speed at which the Max 360c Mk II will alert you when it is exceeded. Using GPS technology to gauge your speed, the detector monitors your speed to help you stay under the set speed limit. When the unit is connected to ESCORT Live!, the posted speed limit data will also be shown on the display.
• Variable-Speed Sensitivity: The Max 360c Mk II has an Auto Sensitivity mode varies radar sensitivity base on your vehicle's speed resulting in better radar performance. At highway speeds, you need the best long-range sensitivity. At slower speeds, the sensitivity is adjusted to reduce unneeded alerts, especially when you're not at risk. In addition to the Auto mode, you can set the sensitivity to Auto No X and Highway.
• Defender Database: The Max 360c Mk II can alert you when you are in the vicinity of a location in Escort's Defender database of verified speed traps, speed cameras, and red light cameras.

In-Vehicle Technology (IVT) Filter: The detector has an IVT filter that automatically reduces false alerts caused by radar-based blind-spot monitoring, collision-avoidance, or adaptive cruise control systems. The IVT Filter is continuously updated as new technologies are introduced.

Traffic Sensor Rejection: The Max 360c Mk II utilizes Traffic Sensor Rejection to eliminate false alerts due to location or certain frequencies. Radar-based traffic flow sensors, mounted along major highways, transmit strong K-band signals for a half-second approximately every minute. These signals help produce traffic flow data for personal navigation devices, but also create numerous false radar alerts. Escort's proprietary Traffic Sensor Rejection (TSR) software, found in the Max 360c Mk II, helps eliminate annoying false alerts.

Operating Bands: The detector has a Superheterodyne, Varactor-tuned VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for high-performance radar and laser detection. It features the following operating bands:

• X-band: 10.525 GHz ± 25 MHz
• K-band: 24.150 GHz ± 100 MHz
• Ka-band: 34.700 GHz ± 1300 MHz
• Laser: 904nm (33 MHz bandwidth)

Enhanced Radar Detection: The Max 360c Mk II features an advanced radar receiver to provide long-range warning on all radar types. Digital signal processing provides maximum range and minimizes false alarms. The unit offers four radar sensitivity settings:

• Highway: Highway mode provides maximum sensitivity on all bands.
• Auto: Sensitivity for X and K band are reduced, based on the speed of the vehicle.
• Auto No X: Same as Auto but X-band detection is turned off.
• Auto Lo K: Same as Auto, but K-band sensitivity is lowered.

Selectable Bands: The BRT button can be pressed to choose a band, and the + or - button to turn that band on or off. You can cycle through the following selectable bands: X Band, K Band, K Narrow (1, 2, 3, or 4), Multa Radar CD, Multa Radar CT, Ka Band, Ka Narrow (1 through 10), Ka-POP, Laser, or TSR.

Voice and Beep Alerts: When enabled, all alerts and instructions are communicated using a voice announcement. If you desire, the voice alerts can be turned off, and all alerts will sound using tones. The dectector offers voice and text alerts in both English and Spanish.

Auto Mute: After the initial audible alert, the volume is automatically reduced, so you need not manually mute the sound. This feature can be defeated.

Mute Button: Once an alarm sounds, it can be silenced using the mute button.

Detector Tools: Escort's Detector Tools program allows you to update your Defender database and software. The Max 360c Mk II has a Mini-B 2.0 USB port on the side to allow you to connect the unit to your computer via USB cable (not included). The Windows version (for Windows 7, 8, and 10) of Detector Tools supports Firmware, Location Database updates, Detector Software, and Defender Updates. The Mac version is compatible with OS X 10.6 and later.

Earphone Jack: There is a standard 3.5mm earphone jack on the right side of the unit.

SmartCord USB: The supplied SmartCord USB includes approximately 22" of straight cord and about 7" of coiled cord, and expands to up to about 3' when stretched. The cigarette lighter adapter end includes a mute button and two LEDs (Alert and Power). The adapter has a Type A USB port (5V 2A) for powering or charging other devices.

M2 Dash Cam Compatible: The Max 360c Mk II is compatible with the Escort M2 add-on dash camera. The camera attaches to the radar detector via the EZ Mag Mount, and is powered by the detector's SmartCord USB. The M2's settings, features, and recorded video footage are easily managed in the Drive Smarter app.

Maestro Portable Detector Kit: The optional Maestro Portable Detector Kit lets you connect your Escort Max 360c Mk II (or Max 360c or RedLine 360c) radar detector to a Maestro ADSMRR2 radio interface when using a compatible Kenwood/JVC iDatalink-ready radio with CarPlay. Once connected, radar alerts will come through Kenwood/JVC sound system, and an on-screen "Escort" page will display the Band and Frequency, as well as your vehicle's speed when alerted. You can also use the radio's touchscreen to activate AutoMute, Mute, or Lockout.

AutoPower: The AutoPower feature automatically turns off the unit after a specific amount of time to reduce the current drain on the vehicle's battery. If AutoPower is off, the unit turns on or off depending on your vehicle's ignition type (constant or switched power). For constantly-powered accessory ports, you can set AutoPower to turn off the unit after 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours.

EZ Mag Mount: The Max 360c Mk II radar detector comes with the EZ Mag Mount that is designed to mount the unit on the center of the windshield between the driver and passenger. The EZ Mag Mount attaches to the detector via a strong magnet, with a large, 2-1/2" diameter StickyCup suction cup to mount to the windshield. You can adjust the angle of the detector via the provided thumbwheel.
