If you’d like to learn how to setup and configure your Escort Passport Max or Max2 to customize it to the way you want, maximize its performance, and minimize the false alerts, this programming tutorial video will guide you through the different Max2 settings and options, what everything means, and how everything works. 🙂
Here’s a walkthrough on how to manually program a Valentine One Gen1 radar detector through the detector itself. This V1 programming video will explain what all the different settings mean and which options you should choose.
Have you noticed how radar detectors say that they can detect signals on X Band, K Band, and Ka Band? Have you wondered what that means in terms of police radar, what the differences are, and what it means to you when you detect them? Each one is different and depending on which one you see, you should probably react differently.
This video will explain what the different radar bands mean.
This tutorial is designed for people new to the Redline. Think Redline 101. 😉
The video’s just over half an hour long since it covers a lot of material and many of you may not need to watch the whole thing, so below you’ll find a guide as to what’s covered where so you can skip to the parts you’d like to watch, as well as the recommended settings.
Very thorough information on his site. I love his YouTube channel as well.
