 Quick to alert January 13, 2008
My experiance is that the Escort Passport 9500I is a great detector. I received it as a Christmas Gift to use with my new 2008 Ford Mustang GT500. Went on a weekend trip to a small town in Illinois and noticed that a pickup truck, a 1/2 a mile ahead of me, hit his breaks after I was already alerted and had slowed down. So this proves I got the alert before he did. I've owned three Passport detectors and have loved them all. I especially like that the display shows your speed when radar is detected, and that you can mark "false alerts". I would recommend this detector to anyone.

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!

Have used the 9500i for about a month now, and appears to be a lot more sensitive than my "top of the line" Bell detector I bought 3 years ago. I still like Bell, but the GPS features of this unit made it a must have.
Pros:
* Wow!, I have detected constant scans, instant, and pop radars, sometimes a mile before I see the patrol car. I almost think I have a false scan, but when I see the patrol car I know the 9500i was not lying to me. (One time I got hit, so I shut it down, the guy behind me really didn't like that, so I let him by and he passed me like I was standing still, he got nailed, see, radar detectors can be fun).
* Allows you to see your speed on the detector, so you can use it as a "heads up" display.
* Allows you to lock out false signals from a certain area. (Nice, but see Cons).
Cons:
* A Lot more false scans than my Bell unit. On the upside, you can lock these out, so basically it's "trial and error" until you determine you have a false signal and decide to lock it out.
* At it's lowest brightness level, it's still to bright (compared to my Bell). I don't like advertising to everyone around that I have a radar detector, cops really don't like them, and will pull you over for something else if they can't get you speeding.
Note: If your alone on the road, speeding, and get scanned, there is no radar detector in the world that will save you. The cop units are good, some are very good. Your only hope is that when you detect a scan, the cop is scanning another vehicle, not you, if it is you, forget it, your getting a ticket. Just thought I would throw this in here if anyone thought radar detectors are a perfect solution.
 Don't know what to make of it November 17, 2007

Not sure how helpful this review will be, because I'm not totally sure myself. Any comments would be helpful. Here's the deal. I've had this detector since this past August. Each day I drive 140mi round trip to work & back, 90% is expressway, speed limit here in SE Mi is 70mph. During the time I've owned this detector I've passed many radar cops on the side of the road, my detector has alerted me exactly 2 times. I can't believe the many many cops I've passed where it didn't go off, that they had their radar turned off, just too many for me to believe that.
I sent the detector back to Escort saying somethings wrong, they send it back to me saying it's working fine. I know a few times I've blown by a radar cop about 78mph they didn't come after me (yes, detector did not go off). Maybe they have their guns set to above 80mph, I don't know. I sure don't want to test them.
All other features work great, the GPS is great, filtering out false signal is great.
Funny thing is, I've also got a higher priced Cobra detector, I get the same results with it. I think it's gone off about 2 or 3 times also, pass many cops where it does nothing.
Maybe the cops in SE Mi are using some secret undetectable radar (g):)
Any comments would be appreciated.
