yea they got arrows... oh well.
my escort is 360 also.
the annoying thing i find is city driving and near every store with automatic doors
the radar starts chirping like crazy.
and when you have someone in the car with you and thats happening its like STFU!

The arrows are nice... But honestly having the ability to lock out false signals was the biggest selling point for me when I bought my Escort 9500ix.

Understand what you're saying but they are not really false signals...

Anyway, latest product from Valentine One is Savvy. This plugs into the OBD port and allows you to set a certain speed as a threshold before you get "real" alerts. I have mine set to 40mph. That cuts down on the chatter from garage openers and the rest in town.

I would prefer to have a more sophisticated solution (GPS; crowd input; etc.) but that works for now...

How are they false? I don't care about people's garage doors and grocery store doors, lol.

And that Savvy looks legit.

Edit:

More benefits from GPS on my Escort. My Escort does the exact same as Savvy does; it adjusts its own sensitivity by speed, as well as the volume of said alerts.

P.S.

I'm glad I have the mangine in my X but damn I got lots of tickets before I had radars...
