The 9500ix has great features, but the included database of red-light cameras is not very accurate. It is best to go online and update the database periodically. from Amazon.com The 9500ix is a really amazing unit. At first it was so quiet I thought it must not be working but that is the magic. from Amazon.com WHICH ONE IS BETTER? READ AND FIND OUT. I bought both the Escort 9500ix and Beltronics GX65 for a week long, on dash, real world comparison. They both are sold by the same company and they offer a 30 day, money back guarantee. from Amazon.com The 9500ix is NOT compatible with Apple computers. Escort recommends taking the detector to a friend's house who has a windows computer or buying emulation software ($70). from Amazon.com with the proliferation of fixed-position speed cameras and red light cameras, the V-1 simply does not cover enough of the threats (to use a Valentine term) that are out there. If I was only concerned with radar, I would have stayed with the V-1. I find that the 9500ix seems to have a slightly better range than the V-1; however, the sound indication is much less representative of the signal strength, i.e., it seems to me that the 9500 has some sort of "smoothing" function such that the rate of beeping does not respond as quickly as the V-1. The lack of arrows is also a negative for the 9500 as I found them quite useful when I had the V-1, but I am willing to give them up to get the GPS speed trap and speed camera location function. from Amazon.com My friend showed me his new Escort Passport 9500ix radar detector and how it worked, but I told him the radar detectors I purchased in the past displayed so many false readings that is why I have not brought one until now. When I got a chance to try his new Escort Passport 9500ix in my truck. from Amazon.com However, after several days, the unit wouldn't even sound off when you were parallel or in front of the full strength emitted radar signal!!! How poor is that? I then tested my Beltronics RX65 which was built and bought before Escort purchased Beltronics. It warned of the speed setup 25-30 feet before the trap & it constantly sounded off parallel to and past the trap. from Amazon.com I have used many different detectors over the years and consider myself an expert in the field. If you're a long time radar detector user, the Escort 9500ix will completely blow your mind! First, a little bit of background. from Amazon.com I read reviews on all the major radar detectors. After the reviews I found that this radar detector rated higher than any other out there. Once it arrived at my home I used it for my daily commute back and forth to work, and I must say it works excellent, long before I even see a cop the escort warns you of the their presence therefor giving you plenty of time to slow down. Don't be a fool go out and get this radar detector. from Amazon.com The Escort radar detector works exactly as described and detects almost all signals with adequate distance to ensure no tickets. The automatic storage of duplicate signals from stores, extraneous sources is a bonus to eliminate non-critical signals. from Amazon.com
