Escort Laser Shifter firmware update V2.12 & V1.12 (Version 2 and Version 1 laser shifters) Release Notes

What’s New in Firmware v2.12 & V1.12
Cedar Electronics is happy to announce the release of version 2.12 and version 1.12 firmware for its laser shifters. We have several minor improvements which have been made in this release which should continue to improve your experience with our laser shifters. This firmware update applies to:
• Max Ci 360
• Max Ci
• iXCi
• Max Ci Platform (relevant if shifters connected)
• Max Ci International (relevant if shifters connected)
• ZR5
• ZW5

Enhancements:
• Improved performance rear laser shifters (ports 3 & 4)
• Fixed a laser gun identification bug
• Improved overall jamming performance

How to tell the difference between version 2 and version 1 shifters
The version 1 shifters and bridge box were changed in the fall of 2018 due to an end of life component. The performance is the same as version 2. Version 2 shifters have a white stripe on the cable near the connector tip for the bridge box. Version 2 Bridge boxes have a white dot on the bottom. Your installer will be able to look at your install to determine which version you currently have.

How to Get the Update
For consumers, take your vehicle to an authorized Escort custom install installer. For installers, you can find the update on Detector Tools pro (https://www.escortradar.com/pages/update-your-device). There are two different links on the page depending on if you are using Windows or Mac OS.

When I try to apply this update on my Max Ci 360, I am getting an exception from Detector Tools Pro. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest DTP and it's the same.

I tried using Update All and it did go through flashing a bunch of stuff, but after a reboot it came back up as 1.10 still.

Hi Jdong. I am not sure why this would be happening. It sounds like its trying to send the update but possibly not finishing properly? I think for this one I'd call in to CS or ask your installer for help.

Question; I have downloaded the updated Detector Tools. I can update my Defender Data Base, but I get a "Stack Trace" Error when trying to upgrade the Firmware. Anything I need to do differently? Of is there something I'm doing wrong. The first was trying to re-load Detector Tools. This did not help.

Thanks, Jay

Do you have a different device you can try to do the update? Are you using Mac or PC?

I'm using a PC. Windows 7. To Give you an update I was able to contact customer service and it appears I have the correct update for the Max CI 360. And that is V 1.10 . I went to Device at the top of the window, and click the update button and it did appear to work. I couldn't however complete the update by clicking the "Green" update firmware button at the bottom of the window. If I did, that's when I got the stack trace error. Not sure why. If you could give some insight for future updates that would be helpful.

Just wanted to give you an update. I contacted Escort and they talked me
through the update and all is well. The only thing I have happen sometimes is when in Escort Live the mph does not load accurately. But most times it does. I suppose this could be a satellite issue on their end.

What did they have you do and is the version now 1.12?
