Escort Passport 9500ix Best Price

The Escort 9500ix is an effective and intelligent radar detector. Escort 9500ix detect all bands of speed enforcement radar (K, X, Ku, and Ka,) from both rear and front , and its programmable GPS enabled circuitry ensures you wont be caught off-guard by hidden speed traps or pesky speed cameras. It even eliminates annoying false alarms. The 9500ix also features AutoLearn technology, an artificial intelligence that recognizes false alerts. The 9550ix scans for radar threats and associates the specific frequency of an alert to a specific GPS location.

Escort 9500ix Key features

Mute, AutoMute, and AutoVolume
The Escort 9500ix is also perfect for motorcycles. A 3.5mm headphone jack located on the side of the detector can be used to pipe audible signals to a headphone or external speaker system.It understandable that you probably dont want to listen to the audible alert’s continuous tone once you’re aware of a threat. Simply press the mute button on the top of the detector and the audible signal will mute for that particular instance. When the signal passes out of range, the 9500ix will turn its audible alert back on. AutoMute can also be activated in the detector’s feature menu. Once an alert has been announced, the system will automatically turn down the audible alert to a user selected level. The Passport 9500ix can also be set to automatically detect the ambient noise level in your car, and either turn up or turn down the detector’s alert volume to compensate.

Alerts and Audio
The visual alert can also be customized to provide more information by switching into Expert Meter mode. The Expert Meter is designed for more experienced radar detector users, and can display up to three radar sources on the display at once, with a four-bar signal strength meter for each. For the ultra-experienced radar user, the Escort 9500ix can even display the exact frequency of the radar band being detected. As you approach a radar source, the Passport 9500ix will alert you with a distinct audible alert for the particular band of radar as well as a visual alert on the blue LED display. Each radar has its own specific chirp that increases in rate as you get closer to a radar source, eventually leading into a solid tone when the source is at its strongest. A voice alert for each radar and laser warning can also be toggled on or off in the detector’s menu. The LED display indicates which band of radar is hitting you and displays the signal strength via bar graph meter readout. If there happens to be more than one radar signal in the vicinity, the Escort will decide which signal is the greatest threat and give priority to whichever is more important. For instance, if you drive by a grocery store with X-band based automatic doors, and a police officer is on the next block using a Ka-based radar gun, even though the X-band signal is stronger, the Ka signal will take priority. Ka and Ku bands are almost exclusively used for speed enforcement, while X and now K bands are used for other purposes. If you’re hit with POP/Instant-On radar or laser, the detector will signal a solid tone and maxed-out bar graph as these signals usually indicate an immediate threat.

AutoLearn: Artificial Intelligence Protection
The 9550ix can also unlock specific signals to protect you from specific threats as well. If a particular frequency is no longer present at a flagged location, or if the frequency moves to a new location, say across the street or down the road, the Passport will unlock the signal. The AutoLearn feature can also be toggled off in the main menu.The 9500ix also features AutoLearn technology, an artificial intelligence that recognizes false alerts. The 9550ix scans for radar threats and associates the specific frequency of an alert to a specific GPS location. If the detector picks up a specific frequency from a flagged location three times, it will acknowledge that as a false alert and will lock the frequency and location out of future alerts, alerting you of its decision with a single beep and displaying the locked frequency band on the unit’s LED screen.

Escort Passport 9500ix Best Price Customer Reviews

By Gary W. Allen (Williamsburg, VA) Roll on–, October 1, 2011

Bought this unit to replace/join my 8500 X50 that’s about ten years old and seems to be giving laser alarms on many occasions for no reason. I decided the speed/red light cam feature meant more to me than their ultimate-range model, since I rarely travel more than 7mph over the limit anyway.

I’m a VA resident and thus only use my detectors outside our state. Based on my return trip from Chicago I’d say the number of false alarms is notably lower than with my older unit and sensitivity is very good. My only (minor) gripe is that the “voice” of the new unit — its beeps and braaps — have an artificial “canned” sound to them that just sounds cheap compared to the old one. I’ll get used to it, I’m sure, but I don’t like it.

Finally, the vendor from whom I bought (mishkinm5) had it in my hands in about 24hrs there in ChicagoLand (where he too is located). Can’t beat THAT!!
