YOU GAVE A PHENOMENAL EXPLANATION OF MY MAX 360C. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT, SIMPLIFYING A TERRIFIC ADDITION TO MY TRAVELS WITHOUT THE HASSEL OF CERTAIN JERKS!
Question! I was setting up my Max 360C and I selected the option “format the Defender database.” Did I just lose the entire database? I tried to update the database, but I’m getting a message saying I’m already up to date. What did I lose by formatting? Thanks in advance for any insight!
Can you please help me configure my max 360c to its best performance for interstate driving k and ka. Like what band modes to turn off and on. I would really appreciate it thanks
The over speed alert on my MaxCam 360C alerts you if you go over whatever you set on a Speed Limit so if the speed limit is 60 and I set it to 15 over it’ll say overspeed if I’m going 75 in the 60 zone. Since I’m usually 10 over I have it 15 in case I’m feeling frisky one day and I end up 15 over.
I know this really won’t matter. But when using your cellphone rather the buttons. You’ll be saving the longevity of the buttons themselves on the radar detector. Lol 🙏
I noticed you prefer the R3... I'm not into speeding and am in the Auto feature crowed. Greatly enjoy the 360c when I'm going with the flow of traffic to double check my speed. great reviews... thank you.
What buttons are you pushing on your radar when making changes? I cant tell in the video. I ask because I tried hitting buttons and it started changing my auto display
I adjusted all my KA band settings as you described in video & turned off KA band then went & turned off the recommended one's from your video. Then I turned KA back on. Is this the most up-to-date video you have on this max 360c? Thank you very much! John-
Can we get an update for 2022 for the band settings. What is the best overall setup of the band settings on the Max 360c. For some reason all my bands are toggled on.
Hello I have Ci 360 I have an option says Disable Auto-lock I wanted to know I have turn on or off? please help me Thank you very much for your helpful video's
HI. Thank U for your help with RD's!!! I can not figure out how to have voice alerts come through vehicle speakers... I have tried Alerts set to Auto and phone and alerts only come through the device..can U help?
Hi again thanks for the great vids, can you please tell me, I have viewed the Error Log and have one that says “Check GR 1” which apparently means there is a fault with the gps, but my gps seems to be working fine so maybe it’s an old error, in which case is there a way to clear the error log?
The best video on the web for the MAX 360c!! Quick question: What does the error "no shifter attached" mean? I am not able to get into the extra settings on the device itself (at the end of the video). Thank you!!
I need help, I just got one but my car connector is broken. I have one in the backseat but it won’t reach my dashboard. I have a USB but it doesn’t use that. What can I do
Hi I have a question I bought the 360c couple days ago I did update it through computer and wifi I dont know why I cant change the meter mode. Even I've changed it through my phone the radar stays at simple. Thankss
I just got one and so far OTD great. But the on,y thing is now, it won’t make any noise. I’ve gone thru settings and sounds and nothing. Anything that you can help out with?
My radar is wired with a direct wire and it randomly turns off the screen when I’m not driving even with the setting set for it not to and it doesn’t turn back in at all
I personally like Auto mode. It helps add additional filtering around town to keep it more quiet and then raise the sensitivity once you get on the highway.
Vortex Radar I currently have it in autono x . Is there anything I can do to show the speed limit instead of osp in the max360c. I know it only shows it when connected to escort live with location on .
First of, THANK YOU for all the great reviews and helpful set-up info! It is SO appreciated! One quick question...I'm not clear if I should have the Ka Bands turned on or off and if so, which ones? I'm in Wisconsin if that matters. Thank you again:)
There's no performance benefit on the 360c to disable any segments. If you see any false alerts on weird Ka frequencies, you can disable them as needed, but be careful disabling anything with Ka.
I clicked the Mark location outside my garage during installation, and now the radar thinks there's a police trap at my house. Can someone please tell me how to unmark my house? Thanks
Hello Vortex, do you still have problems with any of your units connecting to LIVE automatically? I did and called Escort and thankfully got a gentleman that helped me beyond belief. Went through any and all settings with me. Even gave me his email address and told me to email ANYTIME I had questions. I have indeed emailed him and he replied quickly. He fixed the connection issue and it has worked since. Cannot praise him enough
Pairing the 360c with the magnetic rear view mirror mount is nice , real nice , then top it off with laser jammers mounted on the front bumper and you’re good to go! Get your settings dialed in on your phone as shown in this video. Thank you. I do wonder if the subscription is really worth 50 bucks a year … anyone? Ferris?
Hey Vortex, I just picked up this radar for $375 used! I live near an area where K band is used by city cops. Will K-Notch block out their K-band radar guns? Thanks!
Hi. Great video! Can you tell me if there is any difference to the unit I can buy on Amazon and the ones that are twice the price here in New Zealand? Are we just getting ripped off or are they different?
The ones available in New Zealand are the max360c international. The main difference is the international can scan for mrcd and mrct and some other different types of radar used in the rest of the world that is not used in USA. Also I believe it may also scan lower on k band
thank you for the video but at 14:34 you talked about how power of the radar will automatically turning off after 4 hours and RESUMES back on when you start driving again. However, my brand new max 360c does NOT turn itself back on. I would have to reach over and press a button in order for the screen to turn back on. is my unit defective? or there is a setting that I messed up? many thanks
Hello, thanks for all of the research help, your videos are really helpful and informative. I have an Escort Max 360C question. I am about to install the detector using the blendmount and I want to make sure the GPS chip still has full connectivity and it's not blocked by anything. I don't think I'll be able to achieve a perfectly clear path to the sky, but I'll do the best I can. What is the best test to tell that my GPS has visibility, and is connected and functional once it's installed?
@@VortexRadar I have a solid Bluetooth symbol or "80 OSP" in the left most section, I can't get the white speed limit symbol (indicating Wi-Fi connection). I have Tethering via Bluetooth on and it's connected. What am I doing wrong?
Hello Vortex. I leave in Auburn WA and I just purchase my escort 360c. Can I use your personal setting that you use for redline 360c to set up my escort 360c.
If you want, but you may also have different preferences than me, so treat them as a set of data points to work with while learning what settings are best for you.
Hi, great video, I'm having issues with my 360c. Its always plugged into my remote wire with a switch that I purchased from escort for me to lock out signals I don't want. vs. the cord that plugs into the cigarette lighter The power source is a switched 12 volts. so the radar would turn on when you start the car. Now that I purchased a M2 camera, I was required to run the wire directly 12volts constant for the park mode on my M2 with my 360 for dash cam. Neither of them would turn on after it auto shut off. Escort said that the radar would turn on automatically when driving. It does not!. both units GPS is on in settings. I removed the M2 dash cam, and use only the 360c, again. after 4 hours, the radar sleeps. the next day the radar does not turn on while driving. I have to reach over and unplug the direct power phone cord to the radar as I am driving to activate the radar which is a pain in the ass. Maybe i need to run my wire back to the switched fused as the ignition turning on to activate like the way i had it. It will not be constant power for the M2 for Park mode, But,,,, Park mode is another issue, it doesn't turn on as well when it sleeps on the camera when motion is detected. At this moment, seams like these two units does not like constant power when it sleeps, nothing to trigger it on when you turn on ignition, 2022 Bmw x4M. Please help.
It could be miles and miles in ideal situations or hundreds of feet in more difficult ones. How Much Range Will Your Radar Detector Give You? th-cam.com/video/qfFQZ4jCD6g/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this video. My 360c comes on Monday. Does Escort Live require a Bluetooth connection to connect if I have WiFi in the car? If not, can I turn off the Bluetooth? Also, you didn’t explain how you initially paired the phone to the detector. Is that where Bluetooth comes in?
Thank you. I currently have a Passport Max that is hardwired and mounted using a Blendmount. I needed to get the new Blendmount magnetic adapter but I can still use the hardwire connection. Otherwise, I might have switched to the Uniden. I live in Florida. Do I need K band at all? I find that Ka is all that the police use here. Also, I didn't know that you can't get a ticket with POP. I was recently pulled over for speeding and the detector never went off and was only given a warning. Cop probably used POP.
If I don’t have a WiFi hotspot in my car, can the personal hotspot on my iPhone serve as the hotspot? So far, I haven’t been able to get it to connect to the Hotspot on the iPhone.
You'll need two phones to set that up initially. The one running as a hotspot needs a second phone to connect to that hotspot and then to tell the RD to connect to it.
@@VortexRadar without the WiFi connection, with the Escort Live running on my iPhone 12 with a 5G Connection, and the Radar Detector Bluetooth linked, what functions am I not getting that getting the radar detector connected to a WiFi Hotspot as I drive? I really don’t understand why they can’t handle the connection to the personal hotspot in my cellphone running the Escort Live App. It makes no sense to me. I really don’t want to have to run an old Android cellphone as a dedicated bridge between the my iPhone 12 and the Escort, primarily due to the lack of internet security inherent with Android Phones. I assume, I would also have to run the Escort live on the Android Phone, then use the app to attach it to my hotspot coming out of my iPhone, and Bluetooth link the detector to the Android. This would wreck the ability for the Radar Detector to interject and play it’s warnings over my streamed or playing audio content onto my stereo speakers. Right now, I have configured it so my Escort Max360C and my Bluetooth connected Tire Pressure and Temperature Sensor app can both interrupt my Bluetooth connected Audio going to my Stereo as it is configured today. I’m getting all of that to work on my 2003 Chrysler Town and Country LXI. The TPMS is much better than what Chrysler had, as the sensors are just tire valve caps and can be removed and opened easily to inexpensively replace the internal coin cell lithium batteries. Could Escort Live be updated to allow the escort to direct the Escort to use the WiFi Hotspot in the iPhone 12? If I use another Android phone to establish the Hotspot name and WiFi password of my iPhone 12 into the Radar Detector, while running the Escort Live app, will the Radar Detector then remember it to reconnect, if I then shut down the Android and it’s Bluetooth link to the radar detector and reestablish the control of the Radar Detector with the Escort Live app on the iPhone?
Enjoyed your video on the Max 360 C I just picked up mine from a pawn shop notice that display has ghosting images in it I don't know how old the unit is it might still be under warranty do you have any suggestions just to find out just ask him if it's under warranty or see if they'll replace the display on a $640 unit I don't think that you should have ghosting images if it's OLED that should not be effective and it's not plasma LOL I would appreciate your thoughts on this and thanks again for the great video
Without the original proof of purchase from an authorized dealer, you can’t use the warranty (if there is any left). www.escortradar.com/pages/escort-limited-warranty
@@VortexRadar with your vast knowledge of the radar detectors do you know of any place that repairs them other than the manufacturer or where one can get parts I'm personally pretty handy with this thanks again for your quick response
Hello, I purchased the escort 360c 3d months ago, I live in the Tampa area and I have pass multiple state troopers pointing there radar towards my direction on the highway and on local roads and I’m not getting any signal. Any help to make sure I have the right setup will be appreciated
@@VortexRadar hello and thank you for responding back. wouldn't I get a alert if it it's a laser , I tried the set-up you have the video but I'm not getting any alerts
I have a viofo a129 pro duo dash cam (front and rear) on my car is there anything special I need to do to set up my escort max 360c? My dash cam is currently right next to my rear view mirror should the dash cam be higher then the escort? Or lower? or it doesn’t matter?
We need to wait for Escort to release information about what the update includes before I can share something with people. For a review, and not just a simple announcement clip, assuming I had the time to devote to testing, it would take more time to see how well it works.
Vortex Radar Thank you!! I recently purchased the BlackVue S900 2 ch camera per your recommendations! I was wondering, I know u did a review of BlackVue’s Battery competition recently, I was wondering, which battery do you recommend me going with? BlackVue’s or the other one...can’t remember the name? Thanks again! Lou
The Cellink Neo and Blackvue B-124 are the same battery under the hood. The Blackvue battery integrates a little more nicely with the Blackvue apps so I use that one. Otherwise they're the same thing.
Vortex Radar that’s it! Thank you!! Quick note, I used The R3 for about 2 months and just sold it and replaced it with the Escort 360c. Wow! It’s amazing!! Love the arrows! And it’s accuracy. I went on a 1000 mile trip with both before selling the R3 and I can attest to the better distance of the R3, BUT... the 360c with the arrows make judging false alarms waaaayyy better than the R3. Overall, I’d never go back to a detector w/o arrows. Love my Escort 360C!!! Keep up the great job. Last thing, what do you use to maintain WIFI to your BlackVue when parked??
My radar never displays k or ka it just keeps says alert or slow down with a doorbell and the arrow pointing in the direction. Update so this time I connected via WiFi and Bluetooth together and luckily there was a signal by the near by school but now all it says is live ka and has an icon that shows up on the detector itself no beeping as yours did and the settings are the same as your video.
@@VortexRadar do I have to power cycle it to accept the setting? I tried it twice and I even tried the holding the sensor button to access the settings but it says something about no laser sensor found.
MRCD detection was added in a recent update. www.vortexradar.com/2019/11/escort-adds-mrcd-support-max360c/ MRCD explainer vid here: th-cam.com/video/UkZME9-NvL8/w-d-xo.html
No matter what meter mode I select, I only get simple message CAUTION or SLOW DOWN so far driving around.... any idea??? 360c MKII on 1.4 firmware.....
@@VortexRadar yep, I tried all meter options. Funny thing is it’ll go off sitting on the red light with SLOW DOWN….. so even if the simple mode was correct it should say CAUTION, since I’m sitting still way under the speed limit. So puzzled… Thank you for all the great content you’re producing!!!
Sorry to hear that. Yeah that tactic affects every detector. Here’s some options on how to work around it when possible: th-cam.com/video/Siv--_3eTxs/w-d-xo.html
The two will work independently. They don’t integrate or communicate together, but they work alongside each other very well. That’s how I run it and it works great.
There are so many KA bands, and I get false alerts several times per day. Which ones can I turn off? I travel all around the southeast US Very informative video. Thank you so much!
I was just really confused on what the different band types were and you kept naming them without explaining. I just watched another video though and now I know what they are.
lol, you mean Escort Live? That was Escort’s only app at the time so I thought it was obvious. I should have mentioned it though, you’re right. Since then they’ve added Drive Smarter which has a very different approach, plus Escort Live’s UI has changed a lot since this video was made 5 years ago, but thanks for your thoughts either way.
I clicked the Mark location outside my garage during installation, and now the radar thinks there's a police trap at my house. Can someone please tell me how to unmark my house? Thanks

Hello vortex.. any ideas why my mph doesn't show up when I'm connected to wifi
What are the recommended KA settings to have enabled in the Midwest area?

The TPMS is much better than what Chrysler had, as the sensors are just tire valve caps and can be removed and opened easily to inexpensively replace the internal coin cell lithium batteries.
Could Escort Live be updated to allow the escort to direct the Escort to use the WiFi Hotspot in the iPhone 12?
If I use another Android phone to establish the Hotspot name and WiFi password of my iPhone 12 into the Radar Detector, while running the Escort Live app, will the Radar Detector then remember it to reconnect, if I then shut down the Android and it’s Bluetooth link to the radar detector and reestablish the control of the Radar Detector with the Escort Live app on the iPhone?
If I turn on the k band, that means I turn off all the 4 k band segments?
Enjoyed your video on the Max 360 C I just picked up mine from a pawn shop notice that display has ghosting images in it I don't know how old the unit is it might still be under warranty do you have any suggestions just to find out just ask him if it's under warranty or see if they'll replace the display on a $640 unit I don't think that you should have ghosting images if it's OLED that should not be effective and it's not plasma LOL I would appreciate your thoughts on this and thanks again for the great video
Without the original proof of purchase from an authorized dealer, you can’t use the warranty (if there is any left). www.escortradar.com/pages/escort-limited-warranty
@@VortexRadar with your vast knowledge of the radar detectors do you know of any place that repairs them other than the manufacturer or where one can get parts I'm personally pretty handy with this thanks again for your quick response
Hello, I purchased the escort 360c 3d months ago, I live in the Tampa area and I have pass multiple state troopers pointing there radar towards my direction on the highway and on local roads and I’m not getting any signal. Any help to make sure I have the right setup will be appreciated
Sounds like they’re using laser, not radar
@@VortexRadar hello and thank you for responding back. wouldn't I get a alert if it it's a laser , I tried the set-up you have the video but I'm not getting any alerts
6:28 I heard the Audio Dopler
I have a viofo a129 pro duo dash cam (front and rear) on my car is there anything special I need to do to set up my escort max 360c? My dash cam is currently right next to my rear view mirror should the dash cam be higher then the escort? Or lower? or it doesn’t matter?
Not really. Just make sure it’s not in front of the detector and blocking the signal.
Gotcha thanks for the quick reply! You’re vídeo is probably the best out there for setting up! 👌🏼
Is that the escort live app? I cant find those settings in mine
It is. The app has been redesigned since, but you'll find the options under Radar Settings in the app.
New Update for the 360c today!!! Please review again! Thanks Ariel!?
We need to wait for Escort to release information about what the update includes before I can share something with people. For a review, and not just a simple announcement clip, assuming I had the time to devote to testing, it would take more time to see how well it works.
Vortex Radar Thank you!! I recently purchased the BlackVue S900 2 ch camera per your recommendations! I was wondering, I know u did a review of BlackVue’s Battery competition recently, I was wondering, which battery do you recommend me going with? BlackVue’s or the other one...can’t remember the name? Thanks again! Lou
The Cellink Neo and Blackvue B-124 are the same battery under the hood. The Blackvue battery integrates a little more nicely with the Blackvue apps so I use that one. Otherwise they're the same thing.
Vortex Radar that’s it! Thank you!! Quick note, I used The R3 for about 2 months and just sold it and replaced it with the Escort 360c. Wow! It’s amazing!! Love the arrows! And it’s accuracy. I went on a 1000 mile trip with both before selling the R3 and I can attest to the better distance of the R3, BUT... the 360c with the arrows make judging false alarms waaaayyy better than the R3. Overall, I’d never go back to a detector w/o arrows. Love my Escort 360C!!! Keep up the great job. Last thing, what do you use to maintain WIFI to your BlackVue when parked??
Just got this radar detector. Seriously you only recommend having Ka on in California?
that is the common con census , I would run K band for a while in your area and see how many authentic K band you get in a few months,.
My radar never displays k or ka it just keeps says alert or slow down with a doorbell and the arrow pointing in the direction.
Update so this time I connected via WiFi and Bluetooth together and luckily there was a signal by the near by school but now all it says is live ka and has an icon that shows up on the detector itself no beeping as yours did and the settings are the same as your video.
You have it set up in simple mode instead of the normal one.
@@VortexRadar do I have to power cycle it to accept the setting? I tried it twice and I even tried the holding the sensor button to access the settings but it says something about no laser sensor found.
How do I make it warn me, last time I set it up it used to say “KA BAND IN 2500 feet”
Those are Escort Live alerts you’ll get if someone else reports the alert before you.
I see usage Analytics and muiltradar cd I have no clue what these are also no pop display
MRCD detection was added in a recent update. www.vortexradar.com/2019/11/escort-adds-mrcd-support-max360c/
MRCD explainer vid here: th-cam.com/video/UkZME9-NvL8/w-d-xo.html
Will it work just fine if you buy this one in North America and use it in Europe?
If you’re in Europe, you should get the Euro version: bit.ly/EscortRDsEuro
@@VortexRadar No,Im not,I was wondering if I can buy mine here in Canada and then take it to Europe while travelling out there?
What's the difference between this and redline?
th-cam.com/video/gn4GemG47QQ/w-d-xo.html
No matter what meter mode I select, I only get simple message CAUTION or SLOW DOWN so far driving around.... any idea??? 360c MKII on 1.4 firmware.....
Do you have your tones set to simple?
@@VortexRadar tones is standard plus…. Thank you so much for replying!!!
Ah sorry it’s the Meter Mode option, not the tones.
@@VortexRadar yep, I tried all meter options. Funny thing is it’ll go off sitting on the red light with SLOW DOWN….. so even if the simple mode was correct it should say CAUTION, since I’m sitting still way under the speed limit. So puzzled…
Thank you for all the great content you’re producing!!!
What's the app
Hey there! So I’m curious if I am in the market for a good detector would you recommend the 360c?
It’s a great choice if you want all the bells and whistles. bit.ly/2gS2Kyv
Vortex Radar thank you. What would you recommend if I was looking for one? R3 or max 360?
This comparison may help: www.vortexradar.com/2017/12/uniden-r3-vs-escort-max-360c/
Vortex Radar that’s great thank you. I Reddit enjoy your videos. Do you have one of these to compare 360 vs 360c?
Any videos on how to direct wire ?
You bet! Here's a hardwire video th-cam.com/video/aEr52utks2c/w-d-xo.html and a MirrorTap video th-cam.com/video/9wARz531h4k/w-d-xo.html
Vortex Radar
Thank you so much you are the best 👍🏼👍🏼🚙 can’t wait to install the radar on my pony 🐎.
Great video!!!
Is there a device that works as a dash cam and radar detector
There's a couple, but none of them are all that good. Here's a recent review of one: www.vortexradar.com/2021/05/cobra-road-scout-review/
Very detailed video ! I love it. Very helpful for lazy people like me 😂
Why does it not display the speed limit on wifi only with Bluetooth?
It can do both
If you live in NC the max360c doesn’t pick up po-po. They use instant on and they don’t show up. Wish I knew before I spent over $700
Sorry to hear that. Yeah that tactic affects every detector. Here’s some options on how to work around it when possible: th-cam.com/video/Siv--_3eTxs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, great video
Is this the same setup for redline 360c?
Mostly, yeah. You can see my Redline 360c setup info here: www.vortexradar.com/2020/07/how-to-setup-escort-redline-360c-radar-detector/
@@VortexRadar can you use the ALP with the redline 360c or does it have to be the shift before from escort? Thank you
The two will work independently. They don’t integrate or communicate together, but they work alongside each other very well. That’s how I run it and it works great.
Looking forward to some more reviews on this detector.
Yes sir. That'll be the next video. :)
Randy Platt for real don’t care about setting it up if it sucks lol 😝
www.vortexradar.com/2017/11/escort-max-360c-review/ ;)
Vortex Radar that’ll work until i see a video review lol thx!
I don’t have WiFi on my car! Does the radar still work without it? Or does the radar only work with WiFi ?
It does. See this video for details.

There are so many KA bands, and I get false alerts several times per day. Which ones can I turn off? I travel all around the southeast US
Very informative video. Thank you so much!
Very nice. I like what it does but it’s very pricey

thank you
Hello
How can I connect to Bluetooth?
Open the app and you should see it when you go to Devices.
1:31 you just skipped a step and this is confusing
I just bought this don’t know how to use it but it’s like have 700 buck on dash lol I seen 4 cops and did nothing but annoying noise wow it works.
Hello, It is interesting. I am impressed. Cool. 👍👊❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's 2017 and they make the buzz annoying as all hell.
I'm new to this and I'm just going to say as a new user your video is very confusing, you just go in and don't explain anything
What, specifically, is confusing? Chances are I have other videos that explain different aspects in more detail. :)
I was just really confused on what the different band types were and you kept naming them without explaining. I just watched another video though and now I know what they are.
I Don't understand it to munch
I'll pass.
Lol right I just bought it so my buddies know I have deep pockets
You never gave us the name of the app.... Dislike
lol, you mean Escort Live? That was Escort’s only app at the time so I thought it was obvious. I should have mentioned it though, you’re right. Since then they’ve added Drive Smarter which has a very different approach, plus Escort Live’s UI has changed a lot since this video was made 5 years ago, but thanks for your thoughts either way.
You don’t even tell us how to start it up
Not ONE of these videos on TH-cam show the power adapter that plug into my car. Trying to find a detector that plugs into my cars USB or USB C outlet.
Like this?
th-cam.com/video/3dtmGjQDMpM/w-d-xo.html
I clicked the Mark location outside my garage during installation, and now the radar thinks there's a police trap at my house. Can someone please tell me how to unmark my house? Thanks
Press mark again when it pops up so you can delete it.
Thank you
