The all new Passport Max2 is here but is it a different Passport Max? The Simple answer is no the new Passport Max2 is the same as the original Passport Max with the exception that it now has built in Bluetooth for connection to Escort Live using your smartphone, It can now support Spanish & English menus and includes Air Patrol alerts using Escort Live.
If you already have the Passport Max there is no need to upgrade to the new Max2. There will be a firmware update that will give your original Max the same features of the Max2. If you want Escort Live with the original Passport Max you only need to purchase the Escort Live smart-cord which is available for both the Android or Apple Platforms and you will basically have all the same functionality as the Max2 on your original Max.
