In order to enable the Wi-Fi hotspot after the initial setup with Drive Smarter, you'll need to make sure that you have your phone's Wi-Fi connected to the same Wi-Fi hotspot you want the radar detector to use.


Please note that only our "c" model detectors have the ability to use Wi-Fi. This includes, but is not limited to, the Redline 360c, MAXcam 360c, Max 360c, Max 360c MK II, and the IXc.


For iPhone and Android, you can follow the same basic instructions below. On Android, if you're having difficulty with it saying "Disconnected" on the Wi-Fi profile, see the "Note for Android Users" below.

You'll know setup was successful when your radar detector's display shows an "MPH" icon on the left, with a white background and black text. If the background is a color with white text, the connection was unsuccessful.
