Easy to Install
Escort ZR4 laser shifter can be installed to operate independently, or to interface directly into the Passport 9500i, Passport 9500ci remote, Bel STi Driver and Bel STi-R remote, Escort 8500 X50, Passport SR7 and Escort SRX radar detector.
However you decide to install, ensure the front modules are installed level and pointed straight down the highway.
Many of our competitors direct their customers to the corporate electronic shops that claim to do fast work. But quality work and fine details are not part of the Fast Installers business. Locate a good, local Stereo Installation shop to provide professional work for you. The Corporate install shops are there for speed, not detail and thoughful work. Average shops generally do not listen to what you want, and typically do not do what you ask. We will work with your local shop and verify they are qualified for this installation. If you feel your local shop is not well qualified and may not do what you want for your vehicle, consider taking a vacation to Denver, Colorado, and let our installation shop provide a superb installation for you.
You can use Professional Haulers to deliver to our shop or consider driving to Denver for vacation, and have our professional installation shop install your radar and laser system with fine details to meet your requirements. Rent a car to visit the Mountain Spas, SKI resorts, lakes and hiking trails; while we do it up for you with a professional installation that looks absolutely wonderful. Go back home with a very discreet, 360 degree radar and laser protection and maximum performance installed into your vehicle. Add DVD, GPS and sound, if you wish. Our installation shop can do this at the same time, and it will be superb, when you pick your vehicle up!
Installation/Tips
Radar Detector Shift+Link Compatibility
- What does "linking" a radar detector (Passport 8500 X50 or Passport 9500ci radar detector to the Laser Shifter ZR4 mean? The ZR34Laser Shifter can be integrated, or "linked" to the Passport 8500 X50 or Passport 9500i using the ZR4 "link" cable, included with the Passport ZR4.
When the Passport ZR4 is linked to one of these Escort radar detectors, all visual and audible alerts are generated through the radar detector, eliminating the use of the ZR4 laser jammer display controller.
Once the radar detector is connected to the ZR3, you may use the detector's Program Mode to control how the ZR3 Laser Shifter operates.
- How can I tell if my Escort radar detector has the ability to link with the Laser Shifter ZR3? All Passport 8500 detectors shipped after February 11, 2002 have Shifter Code which allows them to "link" to the Laser Shifter ZR3. Also, all Passport 8500 X50, SR7 radar detector and Escort SRX Remote have the "Shift+Link" capability.
- Does the Laser Shifter ZR3 work with other radar detectors? The Shifter ZR3 may be used along with any radar detector. However, the only detectors with the ability to directly "link" to the Laser Shifter ZR3 are the Escort Passport 8500 X50 and Escort Passport SR7 radar detectors.
SRX
