A Big Ripoff!
(1 out of 5) by S. Hochman on Aug 15, 2008 (Boca Raton, FL United States)Bought this item, and it came with three months of free downloads. These downloads will gave you the latest info. on radar traps, traffic light cameras, etc.
However, after spending $500 on the detector, Escort is too cheap to provide one with a $10 USB cord or a $10 12-volt adapter to download the updates they charge you for after the 3 month trial. With Shipping & handling the accessory items will run you about $40 so you can give Escort more money to download their updates which of course will cost you even more money.
Unlike GPS manufacturers which give you free updates, Escort wants to charge you for them. In addition, Escort claims a standard USB cable will work and a standard 12V adapter will work as well. Complete lies, they make them completely non-standard so you will have to buy the accessories from them.
If you are looking for a much lighter wallet this is the radar for you. Otherwise stick with the V1.

Escort Passport 9500i Radar
(2 out of 5) by Simone on Jan 12, 2008 (New York)This was a Christmas gift. Out of 10 I would rate this a 6 because it doesn't pick up all police vehicles and bands and when it does, they are right there on you. I did extensive research on it before purchasing. It has great features, but don't believe the hype!

what a life saver
(4 out of 5) by M. Serb on Apr 30, 2008 (Michigan)I just bought a new car. It is much different than my old s-10. I'm heading up north and all the sudden my radar detector goes off and I see that I'm cruising along at 90+ mph!!! With the superior detection systems and excellent range I was able to slow down to posted speed without any trouble. It was even better after I found out about Michigan's Driver Irresponsiblity fines. It just paid for itself!!! I was so impressed that I bought on for my Mom for Mother's Day.

Great product
(5 out of 5) by laptop88 on Aug 6, 2007I think Escort has done a great job with this detector. They are using cutting edge technology to bring us the consumers the latest and greatest. Nothing is ever going to be full proof, but the 9500i does a pretty darn good job. The GPS is a very cool feature and it is very easy to operate. I would recommend this detector to anyone I know! I think it's the best money can buy period.
