The Passport 9500i is the most intelligent radar/laser detector in the world!
New for 2007, the Escort 9500i delivers extreme long-range warnings on all radar bands including X, K, Ka, Ku and instant-on POP modes. Multiple front and rear laser sensors provide 360-degree laser protection, including the widest field of view. The Passport 9500i's GPS-powered intelligence provides permanent relief from false alarms including automatic door openers, motion sensors, and other radar based sensors. The new Mark Location feature also allows the user to store known speed traps, safety camera locations (red light cameras and photo radar), and other places of interest.
More Product Features:
TrueLock™ Signal Rejection permanently eliminates false alerts by location and frequency.
The PASSPORT 9500i puts an end to false alarms. Its new GPS-powered TrueLock™ feature allows you to simply press the mute button a couple of times and never hear a radar-based automatic door opener or motion sensor again. Our patented design captures the location coordinates and the exact frequency of the signal and stores them in memory. Once stored, TrueLock™ will reject these signals, but it's intelligent enough to warn you of a new or different signal in that same location. That's right, no more false alarms!
Variable Speed Sensitivity provides real-time radar protection based on vehicle speed.
The PASSPORT 9500i can automatically vary its sensitivity based on the speed of your vehicle. At interstate speeds, all radar bands are operating at full sensitivity, providing the best possible performance. At really slow speeds, like parking lots and stop lights, the sensitivity is turned down to almost zero. No more irritating alerts when you are going below the posted speed. The result is real-time, on-demand radar protection.
SpeedAlert™ provides vehicle speed during each alert.
The PASSPORT 9500i provides all the information you need to make an intelligent decision during each and every alert. The radar or laser band, signal strength, and now your vehicle speed are displayed during an alert to help you make the best possible decision.
Mark Location stores speed traps and other locations in memory.
Speed traps and camera locations are everywhere. It's a stretch of highway where they always sit, or it's a back road that quickly changes from 45 mph to 25 mph within a few hundred feet. You don't always remember, but now your PASSPORT 9500i will. The PASSPORT 9500i's "Mark Location" feature allows you to quickly store a specific location in memory. Simply tap the "Mark" button a couple of times and the 9500i will store this location in memory. The next time you approach this area, the PASSPORT 9500i will provide an alert well in advance to remind you of the potential danger. This specific location reminder could keep you from being ambushed by instant-on radar or laser the next time you approach.
AutoVolume automatically adjusts the alert volume based on ambient noise.
The PASSPORT 9500i will adjust the alert volume level based on the ambient noise in the vehicle. Using a miniature microphone, the 9500i monitors ambient noise and will increase the volume level automatically to ensure you take notice even with loud music, passenger conversations, or excessive wind noise. Now each alert will be heard so you can react if needed.
Crystal-Clear Voice Alerts provide users with a real voice alert option.
The PASSPORT 9500i uses a Geiger-counter-like sound to indicate the signal strength and unique audible tones to identify each alert by band. Or, choose the PASSPORT 9500i's new Voice Alert option for crystal clear communication of alerts and user controls.

"I previously owened a Escort Passport X50 Blue and it was a great detector. But if you are looking for nothing but the best dectector on the market, this is it. I was blown away at how quiet this detector really is. False alarms can be cleaned up in local areas (ex: your commute to and fro work...you get a false alarm, just simply hit the mute button three times and the 9500i stores that false alarm and you neve..."

"This is a very advanced product, and still early stage. The windshield bracket holder inside is very weak, and detector is very large, so it tends to slide off the bracket and end up in your lap or on the dash. The GPS is great, the marking of speed traps is great. But, you may find the 9500i a little late to the party in detecting real K and Ka band threats. Also, it ramps from a single bar to maximum alert w..." Read Full Review »

"What I like the most is the voice alert for Laser. The Laser voice is extra loud and urgent. I have a friend who purchased the Valentine unit. While traveling next to a certain corporate building, the Valentine unit, gives a false alert. Rarely do pick up stray bands but the indicator light(s) do no …" Read Full Review »

Escort Passport 9500i Radar Detector Review
"I had to drive from St Louis to LA and back. Before I left, I went to Best Buy and bought the 9500i. I just went through the literature briefly on my way out of town. Knowing the basics, I had it pretty much figured out. The 9500i alerted me every time there was a cop shooting radar. Going through t …" Read Full Review »
