One of the latest products from Escort is the Passport “DS” series of detectors, the DS stands for “Drive Smarter™”.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, this thing would need about a hundred pictures to fully showcase its amazing array of settings and possible cosmetic configurations. To try to begin to list and explain all the available settings, controls and functions in the KD-AVX77 is an exercise in futility.

Individualism, personalization, customization, call it what you will, but it seems like everyone loves to make things theirs. Sometimes they do it to simply show off, sometimes just to be different, or sometimes just because they don’t like the status quo. We put our personal touch on just a [ … ]
