Overview
Escort's MAX 360c MKII is a dual-antenna radar and laser detector with 360-degree directional arrows, GPS-based false alert filtering, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration through the Drive Smarter app, built as a step up from the original MAX 360c.
The detector's core job is filtering: dual antennas widen detection coverage while the Autolearn GPS software builds a memory of a driver's regular routes to suppress repeat false alerts from fixed sources like automatic doors or collision-avoidance radar in other cars. Escort is explicit that this is a detection-only device, not a jammer, which matters in states that restrict radar jamming.
- 50 percent longer range than the original MAX 360c
- Reduces false alerts from collision-avoidance and blind-spot systems
- Over-the-air software updates via dual-band WiFi
- USA engineered and supported
Who it's for
Suits a driver who wants a full-featured detector with community-shared alerts and smartphone integration on a regular commute or road trip route, where Autolearn's route memory can do its job. Less suited to someone wanting a basic, no-app detector with minimal setup.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Dual antennas with 360-degree directional arrows
- GPS Autolearn reduces repeat false alerts over time
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible
- Community-shared alerts via the Drive Smarter app
- Detection only, no radar jamming function
- Requires app setup to get full functionality
- Dual-band WiFi and GPS learning add setup time
Performance notes
Detection relies on the Blackfin DSP processing signals from dual antennas fast enough to display directional arrows in real time, while GPS Autolearn cuts down repeat false alerts once it recognizes a regular route. Dual-band WiFi handles both the Drive Smarter connection and over-the-air firmware updates.
