Escort redline 360c firmware update9/16/2023 ![]() I paid full retail for my Redline 360c and this article has affiliate links. This review has been completely rewritten. When the Redline 360c first launched (with firmware version 1.2), there were a bunch of critical problems: The arrows didn’t work, it lacked rear radar detection, the ramp-up didn’t properly communicate when you were getting close to the officer, the detector would sometimes start disabling radar detection on its own, etc. ![]() In short, initially this detector was pretty awful. You can see more in my initial impressions video.įortunately Escort quickly released a new firmware update (fw 1.3) that resolved the most critical issues and also added some additional useful features. Thanks to this update, the Redline 360c is now pretty fantastic. It’s not perfect and there are still a few issues that need to be addressed, but it’s much better than it was originally. I never had ķa falses before this.In this review, I’ll be taking a fresh look at what it’s like now after this big update. It's funny you say that because ever since I updated my fw, I've been getting some mystery ka alerts always from the rear. It worked fine up until the update.Ĭan anyone advise me on what I might do to troubleshoot this issue or should I send my unit in for repair (it's under warranty as I purchased the unit 12/2020) Thank you in advance for any assistance. Just Ka alert coming from the rear of my vehicle. ![]() My detector doesn't seem to pick up any other signals. Needless to say, I've spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to speak with someone at Escort to resolve this annoyance. I've made multiple attempts over several days to contact Cedar Electronics support but the recording states the call back queue is full and I should try again. I reset my unit to factory defaults hoping it would cure the problem but it still exists. This issue began as soon as I updated to the latest firmware. Regardless of my location-I can be in my garage, or sitting at a stop sign in my neighborhood. This alert is every 3-4 seconds consistently. I just updated the firmware on my Redline 360 and now I get a continuous Ka alert with the directional arrow showing I'm being targeted from the rear. It will also give you 20 K band false alerts a minute from new cars on the road. Why? The old 8500 has no modern K band filtering so it's very fast. As an example I could take an old Escort 8500 S7 antenna model and blow anything on the market today away with IO K band shot response time. There is so much to consider with overall performance and filtering, I don't see where this detector lags behind really. The Redline 360c is right up there with the top 3 detectors made right now. IE, what was the target and did Escort hit this target.Ĭlick and read. When I read the official FW update notification I dont really understand what exactly has been improved as there isnt any mention of IO response improvement in it. My understanding from testers is that the IO response for both K band and Ka band was considered to slow when compared to the other top of the line detectors. We want to keep hearing from you! If you have feedback or suggestions on how to make the Redline 360c even better, send an email to Cedar: Thanks for the FW 1.9 upgrade.Ĭan someone here explain to me and others here exactly what improvements we should be able to notice following this FW 1.9 upgrade. There are two different links on the page depending on if you are using Windows or Mac OS. If you are not able to access Wi-Fi, you can connect your Redline 360c to your computer via USB ( ). If you are taking advantage of the Wi-Fi connection in your vehicle or have access to Wi-Fi, you will be prompted for the update once it becomes available. Improved reaction in a strong signal environment (all bands).We have several minor improvements which have been made in this release which should continue to improve your experience with the Redline 360c. ![]() Cedar Electronics is happy to announce the release of version 1.9 (North America)/ version 1.3 (International) firmware. ![]()
