Re: Mute Button Not Working!
It would be easier to help if you said what model of Escort it is....
Re: Mute Button Not Working!
Oh... my bad... thought this was a 9500ix-specific forum. :P
9500ix!
Re: Mute Button Not Working!
Well, if you want to save $59.95, just use the mute button on the Smartcord.

X2.
To get into the preferences, press MRK and BRT together and hold for 2 seconds. Press BRT to scroll through the categories and MRK to change them.
To reset to factory settings, hold down SEN and BRT while turning the detector on.
Re: Mute Button Not Working!
Thanks kpatz!
I have the detector mounted high hardwired to the fuse box, so the smartcord is not really an option for me. You're saying it'll cost $59.95 for this thing to get fixed? Does that include a tune-up?!
Re: Mute Button Not Working!
Yes. They'll check everything, and as a bonus you'll probably get a free Smartcord and mount as well.
Re: Mute Button Not Working!
What kind of hardwire cord did you use? A homemade one? A real Escort one, that's not a smartcord? Try it with the cig lighter smartcord and see if the mute button works then. Maybe your cord is shorting out the mute lines.
Re: Mute Button Not Working!
Indeed it was the cord itself. Just tested it with the smart cord on my way to work today.
I have Escort's hard wire cord and I had the RJ11 head replaced recently due to the clip breaking. Apparently, 2 of the 4 wires (the outer ones) did not get installed properly on the head. I'll get to it this weekend!
Thanks everyone! :)
