Low-profile fixed laser shifter pod housing engineered for stealth OEM-style installs. Pressure-fit retention, and open cable pass-through. 100% Made in the USA.
Purchase FX1
Sold individually. FX1 is designed to fit Escort’s current VX shifter heads, with a forward-angled mounting screw channel to make installs easier in tight bumper openings. You can mix Fixed and Adjustable pods to suit your vehicle layout.
Why FX1
- Simple & Reliable: Fixed, pre-leveled geometry for effortless installs.
- Escort VX Ready: Internal channel and pod footprint are sized for Escort’s current VX shifter heads.
- Forward-Angled Screw Channel: Mounting screw path is angled toward the bumper opening, so you can drive fasteners from the front when you can’t get a tool straight up into the opening.
- Retention by Design: Pressure-fit channel with front retention lip resists forward movement; open rear for cable routing.
- Durable ASA Housing: UV-stable, heat-resistant polymer with OEM-style matte texture.
- Flexible Mounting: Use automotive tape, screws, or both depending on surface.
- Made in the USA: Designed, tested, and manufactured domestically for consistent quality.
Compatibility & Layout
FX1 is a fixed housing designed around Escort’s current VX laser shifter heads. Typical front layouts use 3 pods with the transmitter centered; rear coverage typically uses 2 pods. Mix Fixed and Adjustable pods as needed for bumper geometry.
The forward-angled mounting screw channel is optimized for tight bumper openings where you can’t get a driver perfectly vertical, helping you secure the pod cleanly without fighting the recess.
Leveling & Alignment
FX1 has no internal leveling system. Choose a level mounting surface within ±0.5°. For angled bumpers, use an Adjustable Series pod for those positions while keeping shifter heads square to the road.
