"Superior quality to the competition. The 9500ix truely delievrs on the promise of extreme long-range warning. It warns on the bands used by the CHP, local pd's and cameras. I was crusing on HWY 580 here in NorCal and it picked up a sneaky CHP over a small grade and around a bend and alerted. Figures two CHP's were working together. One on radar and one the coyote. Down the road, several cares pulled over the next two miles. HA, I gleamed! That may have been me just as well w/o the 9500ix. Now here's the best. Just the other day, for the fun of it, my buddy is driving in his car next to me with his radar on, a Valen... Anyway, my bud and I are talking on our cells and the 9500ix chirps loadly, and he asks me what's up and I say "SLOW NOW". We get around a turn and a CHP is atop an overpass and hitting individual cars. My bud's Val tripped perhaps 2-3 seconds after my 9500ix. Safe again! All the features are sweet and well thought out. I haven't done much than leave all the factory settings do their thing. This is my first detector, but based upon what my friends have said about the quality of their Passports, I was sold prior to making the purchase. I just wish Passport could tell me when the light would change so I could slow down quicker at a siginal. Maybe it's just me, but it seems many of local municipalities are timing the phase from yellow to red quicker. Isn't there a law that says the time between colors is regulated. I degress, get this model and you will be pleased! Shop and compare. Mention where you found a better price and AutoAnything will set you up with a price match! Excellent service and return policy. Why go anywhere else. Happy and safe motoring."

Avoid Predatory Speed Traps and remote auto ticket generators

"After driving sports cars for over 40 yrs I finally gave in and bought a radar detector. I am careful driver, never speed more than 6 miles over the speed limit or with the flow of traffic but, since the City and the County have found a new source of generating revenue with camera radar and more speed traps I decided I wouldn't be another victim. Always driving a sports car, I didn't want to be a target for tickets but the local governments are trying to fill the void in their bloated spending with revenue from companies that are paid on the numbers of tickets and values they can send out. And to increase the violation rate they have reducedd the yellow light caution time by 1-2 seconds, reducing safety and increasing revenue from all the extra tickets. So I did my research and bought the best in its category and no radar jamming capabilities. I haven't increased the speed of my driving, but it has already saved me serveral tickets in upscale residentual areas. Dave D."

"This is just one great product. It even has useful features I somehow missed when I was researching the unit. It is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for and so far the 9500ix has not disappointed me. I think I have two other persons wanting to buy one after I showed them mine."

"It's been 25 yrs. since I've had a ticket. Since I've moved back to Texas I have seen so many cops writing tickets, and oh yes it happened to me. Will take dif.dg. and get out of it but I still need more protection againt the enemy. Since the economy has taken a dump the cops are writing faster than ever, if I had a billion dollars I would buy everyone the Escort 9500I. It hunts, smells, and taunts the enemies, it also saves many dollars that could put groceries on your table. In Dalworthington Gardens not long ago 4:00 am was on way to work, approching light just turned green, I changed lanes, no one behind me for at least 150 yrds., so I change lanes, cause I didn't give the all mighty signal it cost me $170.00 had I had the Escort at the time It would have saved me. Since I've bought the Escort It has save me many, many times over. Just think if everyone drove right we could fire the worthless ticket writing cops."
