    No, There is no controller update. Its a sub firmware version since there are 2 hardware CPU's HW1 and HW2 there are some differences in firmware for the different models.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    Am i right to think that is no new voice pack ?

    Note : as usual the updating process was a breeze
    There is no voice pack or controller update with the latest firmware. When there is an additional update needed we note it.

    You will need a new config file. There are new settings on the setup page so your old file will get defaulted so you need to load a new one with the update.

    Voices are stored in the wired controller itself so it can only be updated when its in use so HiFi Voicepacks need to be updated via USB.
