About this product

Product Information

The Escort SOLO S3 is a laser radar detector that runs on battery power. The battery that is equipped with the device uses a low level of energy while the device is activated. As a result, this product can detect police cars in a variety of locations for multiple months. When the gadget operates, it detects the technology in other vehicles by using laser sensors. The components in this gadget are highly efficient, which is why the device can detect bands that are miles away. Analyzing the data that this radar detector provides is easy since the SOLO S3 has a crisp, clear display. The functions and features are intuitive, practical, and simple to use. For your convenience, a reference guide is included with this radar detector. Other items are bundled with the Escort SOLO S3 as well, such as a travel case and a mount.By using the cordless Escort SOLO S3, you'll be able to simplify the process of traveling to certain destinations. If you spend several hours a day on the road, your level of awareness may possibly decrease over time. In many states, drivers get tickets for speeding because they don’t pay attention to their general surroundings. A radar detector can be the solution to this problem; whenever a police officer is within the sensor’s range, the equipment will provide an alert. If you usually drive without thoroughly scanning the traffic lights and road signs, a radar gadget may be beneficial to you.During driving trips in new locations, the Escort SOLO S3 won’t let you down. Whenever a police vehicle is parked somewhere within the area, the radar detector will activate. The technology in this product pinpoints a signal that emits from police cars. This signal generates from the radar gun that police officers use to monitor the speed of cars. When the gun oscillates, it generates electricity that raises and drops while moving at a specific frequency. This type of electricity produces electromagnetic energy that travels through the environment as waves. A radar detector has reverse functions, which is why the equipment can detect police cars.Detecting police on the side of the road is a strategic process, so the accessories are important. Early detection is the key to success because police cars typically relocate on a regular basis. The Escort SOLO S3 has a window mount, which is an ideal tool that helps drivers pinpoint police radars quickly and easily. If you position this mount at the highest point on your window, you’ll have no problem viewing the panel whenever a police car is detected. Also, by raising the equipment with the mount, the unit will be able to catch signals that usually bypass the windshield.If you need a programmable radar detector that has both great signal strength and reliable performance features, the Escort SOLO S3 is a solid choice. Once the equipment is placed on your windshield or dash, you’ll get helpful alerts from the device whenever a police officer is nearby.

    Great Radar Dector

    Has good range with three bands of radar detection. Allows you to omit the X-band if it not used by police in your area. Also when you power off the GPS it also turns off the light in the power cord so your battery will not have a drain on it while you are not in your vehicle. On my Ford Pickup the cigarette lighter port has power after the the engine is turned off and the key is removed.

  • Most critical review

    Would not leave home without it when driving anywhere.

    This Escort Solo S3 cordless radar detector is everything I expected and a cordless is exactly what I wanted because of the vehicle decisions I make at a moments choice. Everyday either the car, PU, or motorcycle is what I like to use it in quickly and go. It really has saved me numerous possible tickets, only because it warned me of radar or laser far before I was tagged by the office's system. "IT WORKS" , more smart people should have one. J Weston

  • Does a pretty good job for plastic.

    This is a decent, low-cost alternative to the new line of $100 mirror mounts available. Mounting the clamp on the mirror stem was a bit of a challenge due to having to use wing nuts instead of allen-head screws. The lower stem is made of plastic, very easy to use and quite adjustable. Once adjusted to the proper position make sure to really tighten the thumb screw securely or the detector will not stay in place. All in all a good mounting system for about $18 or less and free shipping!

  • Well made, but a little limited

    The mount is well made and has good range if you are mounting directly under the mirror. I wanted to put my detector a little behind the mirror so that it is hidden by the mirror and is was a little difficult to get it into that position ... as a matter of fact I was unable to get it totally behind the mirror so it didn't have the range I would have most desired. That is why I rated it down one star.

  • My third Solo

    Perfect for rental cars. Sensitive to all types of radar and laser without a huge number of false alarms. Range is not as good as cord models. This is my third Escort Solo cordless model and is the best version yet.

  • A must have!

    I have a name brand mount in a different vehicle and I will say without a doubt this one is much better. It was very easy to install. I installed this on a 2001 Tundra. The features are nice and most of all, once tightened, it is a very solid mount!

  • Solo S3

    I have an escort 9500i in my other car and is unbeatable! I have used the Solo S3 for 2 weeks now and appears to have all the good features.....range, easy setup, and reliable. I only had it in 2 days and it saved me from Lazar near a school zone. 3 days later the Ka band went off and it was a police car waiting at a traffic light 3/4 mile up the road. I pulled right up along side and the warning kept up until he made a left turn and got out of sight. So it works great to my satisfaction. It works on batteries and a 12v cord if needed for a more permanent install. The only thing I miss is the GPS feature of my 9500i.

  • Ez setup....worth the price...great battery life so far.

    It gives a nice long range alert and it's quite easy to set-up. Only drawback on this unit that there is no voice alerts as with other detectors I've had.

  • Just what I needed

    The Solo S3 is great! I mounted for a trip to San Diego and it was nice and unobstrusive. I'm not sure about it's range because there are few wide open areas on my route South, but it isn't too obvious under the rtear view mirror and I am quite happy with it.

  • Great radar detector

    Others have said it all. This is an all around great radar detector. It compares in sensitivity and range with my Escort RedLine. I would have given it five stars, but I wish you could turn off K and X bands completely. The police in the South Western United States only use Ka.
