Escort radar detector is optimized to provide the long-range protection on X, K, Ka, POP, and now Ku-band radar for European travel. Bothersome false alerts can be eliminated because Escort 9500i will intelligently learn and remember areas with false alerts and permanently lock them out using its new TrueLock feature with GPS. The Escort Passport 9500i varies its sensitivity based on your vehicle speed. At interstate speeds, all radar bands operate at full sensitivity; at slower speeds, X and K-band sensitivity is minimized. Alert volume automatically adjusts to your radio and other vehicle sounds to make sure it's audible.

Summary
The Escort Radar (formerly Cincinnati Microwave) Passport 9500i is the most advanced, best performing and most expensive radar detector to date. It is also the best I have ever used. Background and Subjective Criteria for this Evaluation...
Strength
Incredible performance, ability to "mark" non-radar threat areas, Does what the maker says it will.
Weakness
Probably the most expensive detector ever,
Bottom Line
A huge leap forward in detection technology with GPS to indicate speed and mark threats such as speed traps and stationary speed cameras. Few false alarms. This one really works.
I was a little skeptical at first in regards how well this would work. However, after a month I can say this is the best radar detector I have ever owned. It has already saved me 3 speeding tickets (I like to drive fast and was also testing it out.)...
I picked up the Escort 9500i a couple of weeks ago and it has already saved me several times. I am not very technical, so it needs to be easy to use. I particularly like the True Lock feature that helps cut down false alarms. I have heard that a lot of...
Strength
Less false alarms, easy to use and reminders for speed traps.
Weakness
None that I can see yet, but I will repost if I see any.
I had another radar detector in the past, and the 9500i absolutely blows it away. For $450, it should. The GPS feature in conjunction with the Mark Location make me feel like I can't be caught. Will I? Maybe. But for now the detector has almost paid...
My last one was the 8500 X50. That one is also nice and still have it in its orig box. I love this new one as far as being able to lock out false alerts and to be able to mark any and all speed traps. This one will last me for several...
