- Price: the price tag is $349.
95 making it one of the cheaper radar detectors in the market. - Bands: this product detect all bands of speed enforcement radar (X, K, Ka, and Ku).
- Voice Alerts: there are audible and visual band alerts, but these aren't exactly "voice alerts".
- False Alerts: AutoScan mode drastically reduces - but not eliminates - false alerts.
- Features: Includes Highway and City settings, as well as the SmartCord power adapter which can be used as a secondary control for the device (making control of the device very easy when it's placed in a location that is hard to reach).
All in all, not as impressive as some of the other models. - Installation: The Passport C65 is windshield Mounted, consequently, using it is a bit clunky because it has to be mounted with a windshield suction cup system.
That being said, the passport C65 can carried around and used in motorcycles or other vehicles - GPS Technology: None available.
- Detectable: No stealth mechanisms.
- Database subscription: Since there is no GPS, this is irrelevant in this context
Although these are not crucial for the task it performs - it's quite possible to enjoy a radar detector without these features - they certainly limit its effectiveness.
That being said, if you want a good solid radar detector for a very reasonable price and aren't too considered with these "fancy" features, the passport C65 is the radar detector for you.
Our overall score is 3.
5/5.
0 primarily for the lack of features which the low price doesn't compensate for (if you add a mere $40 you can get a far superior radar detector).
