This product although pricey it has paid for it self and then some. I bought this product back in October, and it has performed as advertised. I love the TRUE-LOCKOUT of false signals feature, and when this thing goes off; you better pay attention to your surroundings. Best investment that I have made, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is tired of their radar going off every 2 minutes.

I've owned the Escort 8500 and the 8500 X50 and this detector topples them both. The added GPS function which allows for detection of red light cameras, as well as blockage of false alarms, is fantastic and was my selling point. Yes, I have had false alarms go through this detector, but after about the 3rd or 4th time the detector stores the signal/location within its memory and blocks them out. Silence... something that even the well toted 8500 could not achieve. I only have two complaints on this detector.
1) The power socket is on the left side of the detector. If you are not using the hard wire kit, have a cigaratte lighter in the right-middle of your car, and have a navigation unit, this is quite annoying. The wire extends across the navigation screen. I do not understand why Escort changed the location of the power jack (the 8500 and X50 had them on their right side).
2) While driving on the freeway in the city where there are feeder lights, the ... Read More

Over the years I have owned several radar detectors all the way back to the original Escort which was state of the art back in its day. Unfortunately, speed trap technology seemed to advance at a much faster rate than detector technology. In recent years, the 8500 spent most of the time in the trunk as things like speed cameras became the bigger threat and the hassle of listening to false alarms was more hassle than it was worth. The arrows on the Valentine are nice, but were not enough to bring me back to the fold. Reality is that the basic technology of detectors has not changed in 20 years ... until now.
The integration of GPS into a radar detector is probably the most significant innovation to this market, and is a game changer. A drive through places like AZ, where they have placed cash registers (er, speed cams) every 10 miles or so, instantly triples the value of a product like the 9500ix. On a recent trip to AZ it picked up every one of them (note that the fixed ... Read More

I had a wonderful stroke of luck when my 9500i started acting up on me within the return period, and found this in the gold box.
In a word: "wow".
Like the 9500i, the range is nothing short of outstanding. I'm "seeing" police cars nearly a mile away on the highway, and in more than enough time to slow down in the city. The actual alert is enough to get your attention, and with AutoMute, it quiets down fast enough that you're not being constantly nagged.
While I really liked the 9500i, I absolutely love the 9500ix. Having a detector that *accurately* detects and locks out false alerts automatically is absolute bliss. Not only is it great to drive without hearing the detector going off every time you go near a grocery store, but I've also found that I pay much more attention to the alerts, now that I know the alert is real.
Sadly, though, Escort has left their Mac users completely in the dark, if you plan on pushing updates to the detector. ... Read More

Escort Passport 9500ix Radar/Laser Detector (Black)
I have driven with a number of radar detectors in the last twenty years, some excellent and some of other description.
Driving with my newly acquired Passport 9500ix has been my ultimate detector experience. It is wonderful not to be notified with an X or a K band alert every time I am passing the local supermarket, bank or convenience mart (sort of like they have their own pop-up ads on other detectors). Silence truly can be golden.
Now, when I'm local and get a K band alert, I know it's the real deal. Like the other day, when the county sheriff was set up by the convenience mart. He must have thought he was being pretty tricky, but my 9500ix knew the difference between his signal and the door openers (which are also on K band and have been "stored" by my detector).
Police radar detecting performance is better than any I have ever experienced. In New York Ka band is the flavor of choice and there ... Read More
