IX Updates
Any coming soon? IVT / BSM or any others? Thanks.
|
Anybody?
|
There is an update coming with bug fixes. The ESCORT iX's IVT Filter will not be updated
|
When will the IVT filter be updated on the iX to address issues with Acura / Honda IVT ?
So because I paid $500 for the iX instead of $650 for the Max 360 my issues with IVT won't be addressed ? |

Frankly, you can thank the automobile industry for this mess. IIRC, the FCC granted specific K band frequencies for BSM systems, but several manufacturers are using the same frequencies as real police radar because there aren't any penalties. |
Thanks for the response, I do appreciate it !
My concern is I thought I read that Escort has either released an update or is releasing an update for the Max 360 to help with the Honda / Acura IVT. I thought Escort was working on a update for the iX as well but based on the thread response it looks like only a bug fix is in the works. Here in Chicago there are Acura vehicles everywhere - my detector goes off constantly which completely negates the purpose of having a radar detector. I feel $500 was a lot to pay for a radar detector but if it worked as advertised it would be worth it. Currently due to all the false alerts it serves me no purpose whatsoever ( when it alerts I just start looking for a Honda / Acura, which 9 times out of 10 is the culprit ) If there are no plans to make this better, I need to figure out an alternative (I have been using Escort radar detectors since 2006) Thanks, Nick |

I do think it would be nice to consider updates for the IX, many long time customers including myself are IX users. Even if it were a nominal fee I most likely might even pay for an upgrade instead of switching detectors.
Thanks! |
Thanks. So basically my radar detector is useless with no intention to address it's issues in the future. It is advertised as:
IVT FILTER™ Updatable system automatically reduces false alerts from moving In-Vehicle Technology sources such as collision avoidance systems and adaptive cruise control "Updatable" being the key word yet I am now being told that no updates will be made available. I can assure you I will NEVER purchase another Escort radar detector and will influence all member of my car and motorcycle clubs to do the same. |
