It wasn’t me, it was my wife! Any suggestions? Thanks.

I love my Passport 9500ix

I've had a Passport 8500 x50 for a few years now. It has more than paid for itself. I'd highly recommend the Escort product line... After my experience with the 8500, I'm looking to upgrade to the 9500ix.

Thanks all!

This is the only one I will be getting and have used, my last one went flying out the window after a crash in a friends car.

Have you guys seen the new Redline from Escort yet? I'm sticking with my V1, but I'm still curious to know if there's anything ground-breaking with the Redline.

RedLine - Escort Inc.

i run V1's on my cars.

most detectors will work but knowing where the signal is coming from is a big bonus....but at the end of the day, it's just a conversation piece
for me.

Are you referring to the 'conversation' the cop starts up about how he was able to beat your radar detector as he writes you a ticket? lol (I've had that happen before)

I agree. I have had both the v1 and now the 9500ix. I can't tell you how great it is to drive to work and not hear those false alerts all the time! That thing has been great!

hahahaha. ive been pulled over for nothing a few times in the past too while driving around my modded cars. the youngster cop started a conversation that he had a impreza RS and on and on...'so, where do you get your parts?' and a whole list of questions... then at the end, 'oh, btw you need to put your front license plate on, ok? drive save.'

I'm having a big problem with my passport 9500ix, the first one I bought fell apart while I was driving (cheap plastic), I was sent a brand new one and the gps can never find a signal and it constantly glitches all day. I don't know if I should give the passport another try or get something else?
