Passport 9500ix Platinum Radar Detector


While detection performance is very good, we no longer consider the Passport 9500ix a top-tier detector, because of its
less sophisticated filtering out of the Adaptive Cruise
Control Sensors installed in new cars.

Escort Passport 9500ix Review

Overview of the Escort Passport 9500ix

The main benefits of the Passport 9500ix are:

  • 4-times the range of a police radar gun
  • Easy to read LED display
  • Clear digital voice alerts

Long Range Radar Detection


The Passport 9500ix is built on Escort’s M4 antenna design, which places the Passport in the Long Range Category, having 4 times the capture distance of a police radar gun.

The result is a detector that will provide ample warning of instant on K and Ka Radar miles away.

Filtering

Because the Passport 9500ix’s uses somewhat dated DPS technology when compared to the newer Passport, the Passport Max and the Passport Max2, it does not have the filtering characteristics needed to block out false alerts caused by the anti-collision sensors installed in many new cars today.

Because of this we would recommend instead in investing in one of Escort's newer detectors.

Photo Enforcement Protection

Automated photo enforcement cameras and speed traps are everywhere today!

As a result Escort has equipped the Passport 9500ix with GPS technology and their Defender photo enforcement database, which will alert you as you approach one of these locations.

You can also add your own “hot spots” using the mark location feature.

Clear Digital Voice Alerts

The Passport 9500ix has clear voice alerts, providing you with the information you need without having to take your eyes off the road.

High Definition LED Text Display

The Passport 9500ix displays radar alerts using the older text display. You have the choice of either having a blue or red display. The display is easy to read from any angle and the brightness level is adjustable.

Easy Advanced Programming

You can program your 9500ix by pressing the buttons on your detector or by using the Escort Live app on your smart phone if you have the optional Escort Live Module installed.

You can set the brightness of your display, program the radar bands used in your area, adjust the filtering options and more.

Escort Live Compatible

The Escort Passport 9500ix is Escort Live Compatible, allowing you to tap into the Escort Live community to receive real time alerts from other Escort and Beltronics users in your area by purchasing the Escort Live external interface.

Online Defender Database Updates

You can ensure that your 9500ix has the latest database updates to protect you from new threats by simply connecting it to your computer's USB port and downloading the latest Defender database updates.

Warranty & Support

Your Passport comes with Escort’s 1-year warranty and Radar Roy's 30-day no risk money back guarantee.

Also, because we have been an authorized Escort dealer since 1995, you’re pre-approved to purchase Escort’s extended 24 month extend warranty for only $29.95.

Motorcycle Use

When accessorized with the proper motorcycle mount, external warning device, and weather protection the Passport 9500ix becomes a great detector for motorcycle use.

Motorcycle Mounting Systems: RadarBusters offers a variety of motorcycle radar detector and cell phone mounts by Techmount, which will fit virtually any motorcycle.

External Warning Device: The 9500ix does have an external earphone jack, which you can plug into your motorcycle sound system. However, we would recommend the Legal Speeding HARD system, which is a wireless heads up display.

Weather Protection: There are several websites that sell “motorcycle radar detector boxes,” but we don’t recommend them. Instead, go to your local CVS and buy a child’s size shower cap. It’s cheaper and will protect your detector just as well.

Included Accessories

Your Passport 9500ix comes equipped with a travel case, windshield mount, 12 volt SmartCord, a quick reference guide, and a 1-year subscription to the Escort Defender database.

Optional Accessories

Optional accessories you may want to consider when purchasing your Escort Passport 9500ix are:

Escort Live External Module: Enables your Escort 9500ix to access the Escort Live community to share real time alerts with other radar detector users in your area.

BlendMount Mirror Mount: Enables the mounting of the Max2 to your rear view mirror.

5 of 5 Escort Passport 9500ix April 22, 2015
Reviewer: Don Alexander from Manchester, MD United States  
Excellent product. Love the Auto Learn program. A better windshield mount would be nice if it was included. I plan to buy a better mount, possibly a mirror mount.Escorts mirror mount is too expensive, I will buy a cheaper one on EBay.

4 of 5 Great function & features October 1, 2014
Reviewer: JD from Bartlesville, OK United States  
Set it up, hang it in the car and drive.  Couldn't be easier and so far, seems to work as advertised.  Had to knock off one star for the mount.  Problem shared by several models.  The front of the case taps against the windshield.  Needs some sort of soft bumper on the front to prevent the rattle.  Fixed it myself with the previous detector and will do the same with this one but I'm surprised that hasn't ever been addressed.  5 stars for RadarBusters.com
