"Escort has introduced an innovative new product... Drivers want it (the new Passport iQ) because it's a stealth radar detector... One of
the best features about the Escort iQ is the way it signals a radar/laser threat: a subtle red LED illuminates and a pleasant chime rings."

AutoWeek, Roger Hart - 11.08.10
"The PASSPORT iQ is a game changer"
Radar Signals, Carl Fors
"SML was asked by Escort Inc. to field evaluate its new iQ combination GPS and Radar/Laser Detection system. The product features a
system where the driver can mark (M) safety locations such as school zones, work zones, dangerous intersections. Since the product has GPS, it alerts the driver when they
approach these locations in the future. The iQ also features an upgradable system of identifying to drivers the location of photo enforcement such as red light cameras and speed
cameras. This is the first time since the introduction of the first radar detector in 1972, FuzzBuster, that a GPS and radar/laser detection system has been offered in one
package. SML compared the accuracy of the GPS of the iQ to other commercially available stand alone GPS systems. It found them to be the same in capabilities and accuracy.
Unique to the iQ, is the display of the speed limit to the driver. An Over Speed Alert can be activated telling the driver they are over the speed limit. Other common GPS
features are present in the iQ and SML views it as contributing to driver safety."
Escort Radar Forum, Allen
"800 miles with the Passport iQ vs. Garmin® 255W - Navigation: iQ wins this hands-down. There are alot of reasons, but mainly the
amount of warning it gives you BEFORE your next turn is amazing. You would have to be asleep to not hear the next turn coming up."
