Oh wow! maybe i should have done it this way. That looks sick dude!

i actually managed to buy it from someone on the forums for a really good price.

i believe there are still a few members that are trying to sell theirs just type it in the search and you should be able to find it. there are two different kinds, there is the 9500i and there is the 9500Xi and then there is the red and blue display.

last night i went out and there was an accident down the highway and the cop car left his laser on and my passport picked it up before i could even see the cop car definitely a couple miles down the rode on the opposite side so it definitely works! and i love the lockout feature so it wont go off every time you go by one of those stupid signs that measure your speed.

on a side note me and my friends went out and messed around base taking pictures so one i get those i ll post em up

Finally got around to taking some pics

we didnt exactly have an awesome set up me and my friends were using each other's highbeams for lighting since we thought the area had more lighting than it did

Some quick pics at the shop:




Fooling around base





Pics of my Friend's Civic Si:



Pictures could have turned out better if we had planned properly with lighting and if Security Forces chasing us everywhere so we'll give it another shot some time

Verify that yours has the TSR feature. if the traffic flow sensors are in your area, you will get false readings like nobody's business. Here in Ohio, they are everywhere. I bought an early 9500ix and thankfully, it was updateable but I had to send it in to Escort and pay a nominal fee. The very earliest models are non-updateable IIRC. the newer ones are updateable with downloadable firmware.

Thanks for the heads up! i was wondering why my radar kept going off every couple of miles with a K band on the freeway.

I ll be sure to check next time i get in the car
