Firmware update available

Experience the difference that milliseconds make.

Measurable performance for elementally improved real-world awareness

REDefining Radar Detection

The Redline 360c is now officially the fastest radar detector on the market. Backed by both lab and field testing, our new firmware update refreshes your Redline 360c with performance improvements that translate into the real-world usability and accuracy that you depend on.  

Breakthrough Ka Band performance

averaging

0.29 seconds

Ka Band response

Escort has broken Ka Band response time barrier with an average of 0.29 seconds—a performance leap that places Redline in a category of its own. To put this in perspective, traditional "fast" detectors average 0.5-0.6 seconds on Ka Band. We've cut that nearly in half. 

At highway speeds, every tenth of a second counts. With revolutionary 0.29-second response times, you have more time to react—which can mean the difference between evasive action and a possible citation. 

This improvement required fundamental firmware optimization to coax even more performance out of the already advanced signal processing architecture in the guts of your Redline 360c. Field testing and precision timing equipment was required for validation, as human perception simply cannot measure the difference accurately enough. 

With this firmware release, expect faster performance than our top competitors across all Ka Band segments with the K Filtering setting off.

Adaptive K Band filtering

The new K Filter toggle gives enthusiasts unprecedented control over their detection experience, with measurable performance differences for each scenario.

K Filter ON (Quiet Mode):

Response time: 0.6-0.7 second average 

Dramatically reduced false alerts from door openers, security systems 

Ideal for urban driving and daily commuting

K Filter OFF (Maximum Performance): 

Sub-0.5 second response times, .29 seconds for Ka Band 

Zero compromise detection—every signal triggers an alert 

Perfect for rural highways and spirited driving 

Perfect POP detection

While the competition detects POP signals 8 out of 10 times on average, Redline achieves a perfect 10/10 score—100% detection rate across all POP radar configurations. This means that the Redline 360c can now reliably beat radar guns that are specifically designed to defeat radar detection with POP technology.

Police use POP to fire a brief radar burst to clock your speed before switching to continuous wave for the citation. While most detectors do well at detecting these, many often miss these critical first moments.  With our perfect score in this category, you can rest assured that your Redline 360c will not miss these bursts, giving you more road awareness and more time to respond.  

Our updated POP processing recognizes ultra-brief radar signatures that last mere milliseconds, providing advance warning before the officer commits to the traffic stop. This is particularly effective in speed traps.  

Advanced CAS filtering

Adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking systems operate on frequencies that trigger traditional radar detectors constantly. The Redline 360c effectively distinguishes between automotive safety systems and actual police radar signatures. The result is a detector that works seamlessly in today's technology-saturated traffic environment. This means you can rest assured that even when driving in heavy traffic, your detector can pick out genuine threats, not just another car's safety system. 

Enhanced situational awareness

Improved Arrow Transitions: Directional indicators now respond more quickly to threat vector changes, providing real-time awareness of the location of a radar source. The improved response eliminates lag and creates a smoother transition of threat location. 

OnStar/Wi-Fi conflict resolution

Eliminated the connectivity interruption that prevented seamless firmware updates in GM vehicles equipped with OnStar systems for detector serial numbers beginning with “AA5”.

Backed by measurable data

The performance of this firmware update has been validated using precision testing equipment and in-depth field testing. These advances represent a significant leap forward, and will result in heightened usability, reliability, and accuracy of detection for our customers. 

Each detector undergoes controlled testing with precision testing equipment and standardized testing routes. 

To further transparency, we encourage independent testing by respected members of the radar detector community and have published a whitepaper to summarize our testing methodology to make sure these improvements will stand up to the most rigorous third-party verification.

REDefining industry standards, again

This firmware update represents an evolution in radar detection technology and comes at no cost to our customers. By updating your Redline 360c’s firmware, you can refresh the performance of your detector and elementally make it new again, to combat the ongoing ‘arms race’ of police-deployed radar techniques and technology. 

Our customers know performance when they see it. And like us, they test it, measure it, and share the results with the community. We've built this update specifically for the evolving needs and standards of our customer base—and we're confident it will exceed them.
