Rather than answer directly to the above other than to comment on the testing by the writer (which I’ll get to in a brief moment), this answer will more generally address the
Passport 9500ix AutoLearn lock/unlock artificial intelligence.
First, on the test as described in the thread – testing is always fun and when properly controlled (ie, known test conditions, absolute test parameters and knowledge of the product operation under test), is useful for revealing both expected/planned results and sometimes, uncovers surprising unexpected results. The excepted results seem to confirm your knowledge of the test and the product and therefore, the results add confidence to your position (assumptions). Unexpected results are cause for questions – did I do the test correctly, accurately, and/or do I understand the designed operation of the product? In the case of this test, with the authored unexpected results, there are concerns/issues in both tracks above: first, the test conditions across the whole test are not valid for testing the unlock capabilities of the Passport 9500ix – several (among a few) points: using a source, using a source while mobile, in the test car, testing inside ¼ mile of travel termination (the tester’s home), then not being mobile after powering the source, etc. and so on; - second, the operation of the Passport 9500ix seems to be a bit misunderstood as shown by the assumptions and interpretations of the results versus the actual engineering design expectations and performance. As there is misunderstanding (and not error or malfunction), this is where I will begin …
The expectation of the Passport 9500ix (9500ix) AutoLearn feature to 'perform and do something' is to be expected and is complimentary to your smart choice of purchasing and use of one. The fact that the test and its results are misunderstood is not a fault of anyone (and, the interpreted results are incomplete) – here’s why:
First: know that there are literally tens of thousands of the 9500ix units in cars being used today and there are subsequently, hundreds of confirming calls, letters, email and text messages telling us of the operators’ witness to the proper locking and unlocking of the 9500ix AutoLearn feature. AutoLearn is working in thousands of real-world test beds – actual owners’ vehicles in use in real urban environments.
Second: part of the general misunderstanding of the operation of the 9500ix AutoLearn is, in large part, because it is a very technically advanced, complicated piece of extraordinary engineering. Its very nature and design are simply difficult to understand (outside of the geniuses behind its design).
Third: as a complex, but highly competitive, industry leading design, it is proprietary (patent protected) and therefore, hopefully, confidential – ie, we will never fully divulge its remarkable algorithm and operation. That’s just good competitive business modeling and a healthy business way of life.
Finally: there is more to this that I can say here and so for all the depth, visit the ESCORT forum under the thread, "Passport 9500ix AutoLearn Lock & Unlock".
In summary, you should remember the following: AutoLearn is fully functional (as you can even read here from others who have observed its Artificial Intelligence operation) and is working properly, successfully. AutoLearn is so far ahead of any other competitor design it’s not even worth considering (anymore) the alternatives (including the V1 groupies who have paid way too much for oh so boring little). AutoLearn is the future of detection protection – but you can get it today, from ESCORT. If you already have a 9500ix, then you know as you have witnessed AutoLearn in operation (and you are nodding your head and smiling right now). If you do not yet have a 9500ix, it’s yours to try virtually for free – 30 days to decide and if you aren’t fully satisfied, simply call and ESCORT will take it back and give you a full refund with no harassing questions. This isn’t arrogance – this just is. Cutting edge. Simple. Cool. Advantage – 9500ix and ESCORT owners.
