There are many radar detectors available on the market and one which has caught my attention is the Escort 9500. The Escort Passport 9500i is an excellent radar detector and easily ranks as a top competitor to what is available out there. The one great feature about the 9500 model is the GPS receiver. This has made a big difference in its capacity to function as a radar detector and also helps locate the site of the police radars. When test driving, the 9500 model easily locates 99% of all traffic cameras and stores the locations in memory.
One other great feature of this device is the real time display of the car speed. Unlike the speedometer, the 9500 is more dynamic at assessing the car‘s speed. For those who do not want to constantly look down at the speedometer, the 9500 functions just like a speedometer, but more accurate.
The 9500 also has a USB port which allows one to preload a data base of speed sign postings, EZ pass lanes, photo radar, and red light camera positions. Almost any traffic program can be uploaded from a computer to this radar device. This becomes very handy when driving across the country or into a different state.
Unlike the older generation of speed devices, the passport 9500 model increases it’s sensitivity to radar detection at higher speeds.
The device is easy to install and all the push buttons are illuminated. The cost of the passport 9500 is about $ 449. While it is expensive, it is one of the premium radar devices on the market.
Although, who would ever pay retail? Here’s some used one’s I found:
