Whoop

I was previously a Escort owner and decided upgrade my old unit to the new V2. The problem is the volume on the V2 is too low. You can not hear it with the windows down or the radio at any decent volume level. My Escort was only at mid volume and it was plenty loud. Anyone experience the same issue? I hate to return it but I might have to unless I just got a bad unit.

You could plug in an external speaker...

This is escorts version. If your V2 has a plug in for one I'm sure this would work. I had this setup with an Escort 9500ix I used to own. It worked great...VERY loud! Now I use Android Auto with the Escort app and Samsung Music. When I get an alert it automatically lowers the volume of the music.

If all else fails CFM. The Manual tells you how to raise the Volume to Maximum. I have the Gen 2 also and it is plenty loud enough. I suppose you could also look at it periodically.

The volume controls are on the top of the unit. One is to decrease the other is to increase. I have mine on 4 as it is so loud. It's all in the manual.

I switched to the Valentine Gen2 because of the app ability. I now run V1 Driver on my iPhone and it connects through CarPlay. This announces the threat through the car speakers. I absolutely love it. With my R7 I had trouble seeing the display with my top off as well as hearing the detector do to road noise and radio.
