I have the Escort Solo S2, it’s basically the 8500 in a wireless package. It has saved me a few times. IMO the V1 is a better detector but I really wanted one that was wireless for a number of reasons.

The only thing I am not sure about is how well the rear-facing detector works while the top is up. However, I would imagine this is a problem with all convertibles.

It works plenty well enough. Here all the cops use Ka band and 100% of the time when the detector senses Ka band there is a cop near by. However, X and LASER go off all the time.

In general city cops will use Ka band and highway cops will use X. Ka band will give better resolution, but at the cost of range.
