Escort Passport 9500i Radar Detector

The Passport 9500i is the most intelligent radar/laser detector in the world!

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.

• GPS intelligence - press mute button twice to lock out false alerts like automatic door openers or motion sensors
• GPS intelligence also allows you to mark known speed trap locations so that you get an alert the next time you drive by
• Instant-On POP mode gives you the best chance to reduce your speed if necessary
• X, K, Ka, Ku and Laser Operating Bands for full radar coverage
• Complete immunity to VG-2 radar gun means law enforcement won't know you are using a radar detector
• Voice Alerts tell you there is a threat, so that you don't have to actually look at the detector

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.
