"Escort engineers were able to change the standard radar detector form by designing a radically new microwave antenna assembly," said Tim Coomer, Escort's vice president of New Product Development. "Until the merging of these two major mobile technologies by Escort, drivers had no choice but to purchase and connect separate driving devices at the same time. The Passport iQ accommodates and combines these technologies into one, easy-to-use device."
The newly launched Passport iQ includes 5" GPS/radar/detection device, SmartCord, USB cable, Mounting bracket, Owner's Manual on CD and Quick/Reference Guide, 90 day trial for Defender Database.
The SmartCord is a special power cord with a power-on indicator (which only lights up when Passport iQ is turned on), a bright LED alert light that warns of radar or laser, and a mute button right on the plug for convenient access to Passport iQ's Mute and TrueLock features.
Key features of the Passport iQ are listed below:
- Personal navigation system comes complete with Navteq mapping, branded points of interest,( speed limit data, and lane assist.
