[Official] What's the Best Radar Detector?

It all boils down to personal preference.

The 9500ci has a separate 3" speaker unit I have mounted under the steering column. I have it set to MAX volume, and even with the windows down and stereo up, I hear "RED LIGHT CAMERA AHEAD" clear as day.

I simply say thank you, and keep
