Oh, damn! They must've updated their site/code in the last hour or two.

I ordered the 9500ci and a buddy of mine ordered the Max2 literally right before I created this thread and simply used CES15. Apologies for that!

apexit · 01-09-2015, 08:28 PM

no problem, I might be able to ask favor. With the discount now would be a great time to replace my 9500xi with the max2.

Thanks for the headsup though! Just curious since you live in Houston, which shop would you trust to install it?

GBGASTOWERS · 01-10-2015, 08:14 AM

Had no idea they where that expensive now. Back in the 80s they were around $300

Anytime! I'm going with BMW North Houston for installation. They actually sell 9500ci's and one *might* be able to haggle with them to bring the unit cost down to $1,300-$1,400 (excl. installation costs, which should run about $300). I'll also go with them to install my dash cam (BlackVue DR600GW-HD) and Dinan tune (assuming I tune after vehicle break-in).

I would love to see how they install your 9500ci. Please post pics somewhere when it's done!

Will do! Hoping to get my car in late February or March.

M5Rlz · 01-15-2015, 12:41 PM

You're basically buying the lowest rung of Jamming [or shifting as Escort says for lidar] there is.

The 9500ci/Sti-R plus are still top of the line for the radar category, but if you want the best it would rank as follows

1. ALP [picks up even the new stalker LIDAR guns]
2. Laser Interceptors [ been #1 for a lonnnng time]
3. Blinders
4. Shifting bundles

This statement was once true, but is no longer. The newest version of the 9500ci uses re-badged Laser Interceptors. Escort licensed them from LI.

In that case they'd be #2

They've still not gotten the firmware out for the new stalker gun that ALP has

I'm sure Cliff will get it out soon.

Oh nice.

I've not talked to cliff in awhile but I'm not aware of them putting out a firmware update for the new Stalker guns. But I'm sure he'll get on that, how that impacts Escorts deal I have no idea.

3er · 01-16-2015, 08:47 AM

Yeah, I agree. The downside to Escort licensing LI is that they'll lag behind LI's updates a bit given the "middleman" approach. However, I'm good with that given how much I like the simplicity/all-in-one approach of the 9500ci.

yeah still better than the "shifting" they had done on their own.

MSPM4 · 01-20-2015, 01:20 PM

Aside from the above product, any one have any suggestions for a cheaper dash unit ?

A buddy of mine gave me a reference to the Cobra XRS 9570...Anyone use this or something similar?

I wouldn't go lower than an Escort Passport 9500ix for city use or a Valentine 1 for highway use. A lot of guys run V1's in the city with no complaints, but it would drive me mad due to false alerting.

MSPM4 · 01-22-2015, 10:50 AM

Great, thanks for the rec 3er !! I will look into these

IMMLaw · 01-23-2015, 08:48 AM

PLEASE for the love of God do not buy Cobra. Cobra's belong... nowhere respectable.

Stick to Escort and Valentine only.
