Mounted left of center mirror, in about the middle of the windshield.

Were you able to figure out if (when) the detector went off, if the signal was coming from in front, or behind you? Or were they all in front?

Most detections were from the front from confirmed set ups, false signals who knows !!!

:icon17: Fair enough.



I will say I am pleased with my 9500ci due to it being stealth mounted, I don't like the look of the detectors in the windshield. Plus that's something to consider as a projectile in the event of an accident. :ugh2:

Don't get me wrong I really hoped the detector would have worked and may have kept it or got the new escort model.

From my observations it just confirmed what I had already encountered with the best detectors from the 90's , with the KA band you just didn't get the warning in time.

The short range radar is just to hard to really pick up on with most detectors.

You can't expect it to pick up everything... to do so would make it so sensitive it picks up a bunch of stuff it shouldn't, like the store doors or other cars.

Did the 9500ix have different modes like AUTO, AUTO NO X, HIGHWAY?

In AUTO and AUTO NO X, it's not as sensitive as it is in HIGHWAY. Something to consider...

BTW - If anyone is interested in a detector, there's a member selling a 9500ix right now.

It had the no X band and maybe a few other I only really left in highway mode , and no X band when false alerts got to much.

Every K band alert was always a false alert.

K and X band I typically write off, but Ka is 99.9% cops.

Actually toying with the idea of selling off the Z and getting a off road pre runner truck, or jeep. At least you can drive off road with out worrying about tickets and the more dirt, scratches, dents the better it looks.

It really sucks driving the Z laid back, it reminds me of our old sentra when babying the Z.

Just to many police on the roads these days setting up speed traps

Another positive trip using the V1 over the holiday weekend. Made a trip to Bristol, VA and back and didn't have any issues. Couple of saves and all was good.

I did not use it in VA, but the other 95% of the trip. Can't imagine trips without it.
