Escort 9500i Radar Laser Detector (Blue) Customer Review: sensitive accurate gps slow
best price!Best Buy stopped taking care of the customer anyway. This was quick and all the accessories were convenient to add.
Performance of the product is better than expected. Now I have to wait to find the radar. It adds a little edge on being able to blend your car with the traffic. First trip out found a radar over two overpass height objects. The warning time is extended to the point I have not had any lock-ons since using it. I really think they turned up the sensitivity and hoped the gps additions will turn down the nuisance alerts to a an acceptable level. The feature where the gps gives you your speed at the first alert also helps those whose odometer is not calibrated with accuracy of gps or radar. If a person wanted to drive above posted speed limits it would give them 3-5 mph advantage over other detectors. This state of the art tech is still missing stand still traffic and impending accidents over the horizon. It does give you time to smile at the heros that are out there to keep you safe and add something extra for those out there to just take your money.
Customer Review: Keep that driving record clean!
First things first, Escort has discontinued the 9500i in blue (but not red), which is probably why Amazon is the only authorized dealer that’s selling it for well under MSRP.

A few days after I bought this, I took a trip from Detroit to Chicago, so I really got a chance to see how this fared against my trusty Beltronics RX55 Pro Radar Detector. I’m happy to report that this is the best radar detector I’ve used.

I thought the blue display was a gimmick for Escort to fleece tuner kids out of fifty bucks, but I was really surprised to see how much gentler it was on my eyes — and perhaps more importantly, how it doesn’t scream “RADAR DETECTOR HERE!” the same way red displays do.

Of course, actual reception is going to vary widely, based on driving conditions. Sometimes I’d get warned a mile ahead of time, and sometimes it went off just before I came in to the sights of an officer running POP. But across the board, I was always warned with enough time to check my speed and adjust it accordingly. Having the detector display your speed is a great touch.

The included case is surprisingly nice — a bit overkill, I’d say. Why Escort would give customers a felt-lined hard case, but no simple way to power the detector off of AC or USB for updates is beyond me. Fortunately, I have a Black & Decker Jump Starter, which has a 12V cigarette-type power outlet, so I didn’t have to take my laptop out to the car to update it.

Going back to the updates… you’re out of luck if you have a Mac. Even if you’re running Parallels or VMware Fusion (the VM’s won’t see it connected as a USB device). So, plan on doing Boot Camp or borrowing a Windows machine from a friend if you’re looking for updates. The software itself is very good, and gives you lots of point-and-click options that you’d otherwise set through the on-screen menus built in to the detector.

Finally, if you’re torn between the 9500i and 9500ix, you can buy this and have Escort upgrade it to the ix for less than the cost of buying the ix.
