ESCORT Radar Exhibits New Drive Smarter Products at 2010 International CES

New ESCORT Qi45 Custom Installed Radar Detector

Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) January 7, 2010

ESCORT Radar, a leading manufacturer of automotive electronic accessories, is presenting at the 2010 International CES Show in Las Vegas, January 7-10. ESCORT will be promoting their newest releases, the all new PASSPORT SC55 Safety Camera Detector and the release of its first ever BlackBerry Smartphone Application, the all new ESCORT Defender™ Speed Trap Early Warning Database. Both new products provide drivers with the ability to receive early warning notification of approaching speed traps, speed cameras, red light cameras and other high target traffic citation threat areas. “Most drivers today are aware of the dramatic increase in the number of red light cameras and speed traps being used in highly traveled areas,” said John Larson, ESCORT President and CEO. “We are at CES highlighting our newest products, category shootout winners, designed to uniquely help drivers be more alert to these high risk areas and help keep them ticket-free in highly targeted locations,” he added in reference to the CES appearance of the new SC55 Safety Camera Detector and the Defender™ BlackBerry Smartphone App.

Based on ESCORT’s shootout winner, the Defender™ BlackBerry Smartphone App can be downloaded directly from the BlackBerry App World site. The Defender™ application, like most BlackBerry Smartphone apps, is an automatic installation. Once turned on, the Defender™ app works continually to protect drivers instantaneously by using GPS navigation and stored reliability points used as traffic alert information—the data points are communicated to the BlackBerry Smartphone via the BlackBerry mobile phone network so drivers are protected anywhere they drive throughout North America. In a recent head-to-head test conducted by RadarTest.com, the Defender™ database scored head and shoulder above all other competitors for overall accuracy. According to RadarTest.com, the Defender™ Database accurately identified 95% of all camera locations tested, while the next closest competitor only identified 66% of these locations.

ESCORT will also be promoting their world class leading PASSPORT 9500ix GPS-enabled windshield mounted radar and laser detector, the new Qi45 Custom Installed ‘Quick-Install’ Radar Detector and the PASSPORT 9500ci Custom Installed radar and laser defense system.

ESCORT will also be participating in the 2010 ShowStoppers CES event on January 07. “We want to continue to share with writers and media communicators how they, and we, can help solve some of our readers’ most pressing driving needs,” said Ron Gividen, ESCORT’s PR/Marketing Manager. “Every driver is aware of the increased numbers of speeding tickets being issued—our newest designs continue our long tradition of releasing category leading products that work to protect drivers from being targeted and ticketed,” he added.

At ShowStoppers, ESCORT will also be promoting the world’s most effective personal and vehicle GPS security devices—the Entourage PS (Personal Security) and CIS (Custom-Installed Security) models, powered by Blackline GPS. ESCORT, in alliance with Blackline, markets and sells ESCORT branded GPS-based vehicle tracking products. “This partnership between ESCORT and BLACKLINE to jointly market and provide best-of-breed consumer GPS products and services leverages our combined retail channel influence and ongoing product achievements to deliver best-in-class vehicle safety and security to our loyal customers and new audiences all across North America,” said Larson.

ESCORT’s Drive Smarter products and ESCORT experts can be found at the 2010 International CES Show South Hall (35753MP) and at the Showstoppers Press Event (January 7). The complete line of ESCORT’s products can be seen online at ESCORTinc.com or contact ESCORTat 800.433.3487.

Detroit, MI (PRWEB) June 1, 2005

Shopping online saves you time and shipping costs and dozens of great gifts can be found for under $ 200. Here are just a few of the best deals we’ve found on cutting edge gifts for dads on the go:

The Suunto n3 Wristop Computer is the ideal Father’s Day gift for the tech-savvy dad.

For the golf dad on the go, Cargo Golf presents the newest idea in golf travel cases. The ProSeries 900 is an evolved hybrid travel bag that does dual duty: it protects Dad’s clubs for safe transport, and when he reaches his destination, he can play directly from the same case. The ProSeries 900 neatly solves the problem of handling wear and tear; the bag’s padded shoulder strap, exterior fabric, and pockets are easily removed for travel and packed into a handy duffel bag. This leaves the clubs protected by the full-length hard-shell core. The Cargo Golf ProSeries 900 is available at GolfTravelBags.com; visit them for more information: http://www.golftravelbags.com/cargo-golf-proseries-900.htm

If Dad does most of his traveling on the highway, equip him with a Father’s Day gift from Beltronics, an industry-leader in radar detection.

View the Kestrel 3000 at KestrelMeters.com (another great site that offers Free FedEx 2-Day shipping): http://www.kestrelmeters.com/kestrel-3000.htm

Nike offers a solution for dads who like to get technical with their workout. The Nike Triax C-10 is one of the brand’s top-of-the-line heart rate monitors. The Triax C-10 is packed with workout enhancing features, giving Dad all the information he needs to challenge himself and meet his fitness goals.

And finally, we’ve found another golf innovation from Bag Boy: with the EZ Fold 12 golf push cart. Dad will be the envy of the entire course (no matter what his skill level!).

Tiger Lily Products Educates Colorado Speedway Fans on Radar and Laser Jammers

(PRWEB) June 10, 2005

Tiger Lily Products (TLP) attended the NASCAR supported, Colorado National Speedway races in Erie, Colorado on 28 May 2005.

What an evening. We set up a booth and handed out quite a bit of literature on our products. We provided 2 Veil Laser Paint products to two lucky draw customers and two Bel Laser Jammers.

Kim Uretzky, Colorado Speedway Marketing Manager, (http://www.coloradospeedway.com/) was great at helping us to get set up for the evening. We discovered a lot of people did not know the difference between a laser jammer and a radar jammer, so we discussed this subject with customers throughout the night.

We took a peak at the races every once in a while. If you have not gone to one of these events, you are missing an exciting power event. Late Model races, Modified Coupe races, Figure 8 races. The Coupes looked like beautiful 1936 styled vehicles, but had far more horsepower than anything ever imagined and were extremely fast on a ¼ mile, banked track.

Jamie Whisner, our Administrative Manager, and Walter Thornholt, Sales Manager, were at the speedway supporting the booth. Jamie had a chance to see the Figure 8 races with me and said she had never seen so many beautiful cars at the beginning of an event that looked like hell at the end of a race.

Figure Eight racers have to have perfect timing and a whole lot of Cahones. Talk about fast! These race vehicles are tuned for maximum horsepower.

If you are interested in our high performance products and wish to discuss how our products can protect your driving, call Walter at 303-485-7493.

About Tiger Lily Products

Tiger Lily Products has worked in the radar detector industry since 1993. We test and compare the performance of radar detectors, laser jammers and radar jammers. We participate with Speed Measurement Laboratories every year in support of SML’s objectives to determine which companies meet their product claims.

e-radardetectors.com Launches New Website to Provide Online Guide to Radar Detectors

Venice, CA (PRWEB) August 28, 2005

E-radardetectors.com recently announced the launch of a new website, http://www.e-radardetectors.com, which provides comprehensive information about radar detectors, best radar detectors, wholesale radar detectors and related information.

According to e-radardetectors.com, although no system is 100% effective, there are several good models on the market to help evade the notice of a radar gun. Cobra, Escort, Whistler, BEL, and Valentine are among the most popular brands of radar detectors for speed demons and electronic enthusiasts.

Police have long used radars to track the speed of drivers and to help maintain safe roads. Meanwhile, many drivers have begun using radar detectors to help avoid costly fines for speeding violations. Radar detectors have become an extremely popular piece of technology for drivers. With quality detectors running several hundred dollars, the perceived high cost of these devices has the potential to drive away consumers. In reality, consumers can purchase wholesale radar detectors through many venues, especially online.

According to e-radardetectors.com, standard radar detectors were not built for motorcycles and were never intended to be used on them. Most detectors use an audio device to inform the driver that radar had been detected, and are therefore inappropriate for motorcycle riders because they cannot be heard. Furthermore, most have long cords and poor mounting options, not to mention the fact that they are not weatherproof.

e-radardetectors.com will be constantly updated about radar detectors to help educate readers about what products and services might be best for them.

About e-radardetectors.com

Radar Detectors provides comprehensive information on best wholesale and retail motorcycle and cordless radar detectors. For more information go to http://www.e-radardetectors.com and/or visit its sister site at http://www.e-defensivedriving.com for related information.

ESCORT’s PASSPORT iQ™ – The World’s First Integrated Radar Detector, GPS NAV and More – Debuts at SEMA to Accolades

PASSPORT iQ – SEMA Global Media Award Winner

West Chester, OH (PRWEB) November 18, 2010

ESCORT Inc., the leading manufacturer of premium automotive electronic accessories and maker of the world’s best radar and laser detectors, held the world-wide release of its patented PASSPORT iQ™, the world’s first and only driving accessory with integrated radar/laser detection and GPS navigation, at the 2010 Specialty Equipment Manufacturer’s Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas last week. The PASSPORT iQ™ garnered three significant awards and a multitude of positive reviews from its initial appearance and world debut.

The all-new patented PASSPORT iQ™ is the world’s first and only driving accessory that integrates radar/laser detection and GPS navigation, and also provides important driving information, such as speed traps and speed limit data, in a single compact device.

The PASSPORT iQ™ won a SEMA Global Media Award, which honors products based on their potential impact and commercial success. More than 2,000 new products were registered at the event, with a judging panel of 26 journalists from 16 countries choosing a select few products. “We are excited to be chosen by these influential and respected journalists from around the world,” said John Larson, ESCORT President and CEO. “Quite simply there is nothing else in the world like the PASSPORT iQ™. We believe – and the media are confirming this – that the PASSPORT iQ™ is your ultimate driving companion.”

The Passport iQ also was named one of the top 10 Mobile Electronics Products from the 2010 SEMA show by Car and Electronics Audio Magazine. The media outlet called the PASSPORT iQ™ “impressive,” saying, “This device creates an entirely new category for radar units. Coupling a top-of-the-line radar/laser detector with a full-functioning GPS navigation unit, the iQ is unlike anything else.”

Founder of the celebrated women’s car-buying website askpatty.com, Jody DeVere, also was impressed with the PASSPORT iQ™, mentioning it in her coverage of SEMA and indicating it was a Top 10 product from the SEMA show.

In addition, respected car enthusiast magazines hailed the PASSPORT iQ™ on their editorial pages. In an article headlined, “Best of Both Worlds: State-of-the-art radar detection with turn-by-turn NAV, all in one unit,” AutoWeek Executive Editor Roger Hart wrote that the ‘PASSPORT iQ is a game changer’ in referring to the iQ™’s integration of radar detection and navigation into one portable unit.

About the PASSPORT iQ™

The PASSPORT iQ™ is based on the PASSPORT 9500ix™, ESCORT’s award winning GPS-enabled windshield mount radar and laser detector. Assuming the form of contemporary GPS personal navigation devices, the new PASSPORT iQ™ is framed in landscape profile with a large 5-inch full-color touchscreen and takes radar detection to a new level by clearly providing drivers with their current speed and heading as well as speed limit information. The PASSPORT iQ™ conveniently provides warnings if speed limits change and drivers are exceeding the posted speed. In addition, the PASSPORT iQ™ overlays red light cameras, speed cameras, and high risk speed traps on the navigation screen. The PASSPORT iQ™ features a user-friendly choice of visual and audio alerts and can be displayed in selectable formats and colors.

The PASSPORT iQ™ offers easy-to-read 3D maps powered by NAVTEQ, voice-guided turn-by-turn directions and lane-assist¬¬—all of which provide comprehensive directions and updates for helping drivers safely get from point A to B.

The PASSPORT iQ™ radar and laser Detector with GPS navigation starts at $ 649.95. The PASSPORT iQ™ is compatible with ESCORT’s ZR4™ Laser Shifting System, the ultimate laser protection, and ESCORT’s line of detector driving accessories. The PASSPORT iQ™ includes a free 90-day subscription to ESCORT’s Defender™ Database and comes with a 30-day, worry-free test drive (standard with all ESCORT products).
