Your new ESCORT MAX Ci 360 is the most advanced
custom-installed radar and laser defense system
ever designed.
The ESCORT MAX Ci 360 includes multiple LNA

(digital signal processing) for superior radar

performance and features that only ESCORT can
deliver.
In addition, the ESCORT MAX Ci 360 contains the
following revolutionary features:
• Updatable IVT Filter automatically reduces false
alerts from moving In-Vehicle Technology
systems and adaptive cruise control
• GPS location-based intelligence automatically
locks out false alerts and allows you to mark
locations for future reference
• Exclusive TotalShield™ Technology makes the
ESCORT MAX Ci 360 totally undetectable by any
radar detector detector (RDD)
• Access to ESCORT’s DEFENDER Database, which
warns you of veried speed traps, speed cameras
and red light cameras
• Built-In Bluetooth technology gives you access to
ESCORT’s award-winning real-time ticket
protection app, ESCORT Live!
Please drive safely.
