    DC to AC converter. Can be found for around $20. It allows you to use your cigarette lighter plugs in the house.

    9500ix with a serial number starting with "19" require a Radar Detector 12 Volt Adapter....

    If you have a 9500ix that starts with 20 you don't need it, just the USB cord..

    I just plug my USB cord into the unit and it does the trick.

    Yes you guys are correct, I was watching a download video for the 9500ix and he was using a power source (And said that was also needed) as well as the USB cord but that is all that is needed the USB cord........

    Early 9500ix's required 12V power when updating. We recently updated the hardware to be able to update the 9500ix with only a USB cable, 12V is no longer required. The update video was done with the earlier version.

    If your serial number begins with a 19 (eg 19012345) then it requires 12V power when updating.

    If your serial number begins with a 22 (eg 22012345) then you can use only a USB cable when updating.

    It depends on the age of your 9500ix. Earlier models require external power whereas later models get power from the USB.
    I have a 9500i so I just take my laptop to my car.
