  1. Re: No Escort products need arrows like V1!

    I've been running a 9500ix and a 9500ci (different vehicles) for some time, but I still miss the arrows and the sensitivity, particularly to lidar, of the V1. I've got two V1s sitting in my garage...
  2. Re: Teacher/part time police officer claims my RD won't detect laser

    I don't know if it's because they really believe this, or if it's typical cop "I'm in control and I know the facts" bluster (and I used to be a cop, so no flames, please), but that is an opinion that...

    Re: Trinity Database

    I'm relatively new to the Trinity database (9500CI) and my experience is limited to the Chicago area, but it's not proven to be as reliable as the database I download from POI Factory for my Garmin. ...
  5. Re: Tinted License Plate Covers/Smoked Taillight Film

    Right. My tinted plate cover is coming off this weekend for that very reason, and will be replaced by a clear, albeit VEILed, cover. My tail lights have a "light smoke" film on them, though lidar...
  6. Tinted License Plate Covers/Smoked Taillight Film

    Just wondering--do products that visibly darken a license plate or other reflective surfaces reduce the lidar reflectivity of those surfaces? I've Veiled my headlights and license plate cover, but...

    Re: Arrows and rear antenna on radar detectors.

    You can add the Illinois State Police to that list . . . though I've only seen it once.

    Re: GPS Signal LOST??

    Turn off your voice prompts . . . this is the only time in your life you'll be able to make a woman be quiet without paying a huge price.

    Re: Lidar Reflectivity of Black Metallic Paint

    Thanks. That's what I would have suspected. I understand the basics of lidar reflectivity (I think), but everything I've seen in writing is pretty simplistic. I'm not about to start repainting any...

    Lidar Reflectivity of Black Metallic Paint

    I'm running a 9500CI, which of course employs the ZR4, and I'm using Veil G4 on my metallic black 2008 Subaru STi.

    I've always wondered about the reflectivity of metallic paints, but have only...

    Re: Lic Plate Photo Protection

    I had one of the SuperProtector plate covers for a while and ended up taking it off. First I am not the type to blow traffic lights. I value my life too greatly to do that. Secondly, I am...

    I fixed it . . . hopefully. Sorry, I'm not used to the software here.

    Re: The Definitive Word: V1 versus 9500CI

    Here's the photo of the front installation that I promised. As I noted earlier, the antenna is unobstructed and angled upward slightly. I'll see how it works out, but the comment about level...

    Re: The Definitive Word: V1 versus 9500CI

    Give me a couple of days to do the photos. Nothing too extraordinary, though. The radar antenna is fully unobstructed, mounted below and about a half inch back from the leading edge of the bumper...

    The Definitive Word: V1 versus 9500CI

    I'm a relative noob here, but a long time hoon driver who's had a fair variety of ECM equipment over the years, ranging from the Fuzzbuster (yes, I'm that old) to the most recent, a 9500CI. Our...

    Re: 9500ix TRINITY DATABASE ACCURACY ?

    None of the red light databases will every be 100% up to date. Camera locations come and go on a daily basis. It's much like radar/lidar detection--having an electronic "angel" to protect you...

    Re: 9500CI Display Module - Removing Lettering?

    I'm in the same boat. Red instrument panel lighting, but a blue display. Anyway, I got the installation about 90% done today. Everything is hooked up and more or less in place, but I now have to...

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I'll give the alcohol/polish approach a try. I'm going to start the installation this weekend. I say "start" because my first serious look at mounting options for...

    9500CI Display Module - Removing Lettering?

    Perhaps the most trivial question ever--Has anyone figured out a way to remove the white lettering from the display module ("Passport - Radar - Laser")?

    I'm probably going to use the external...

    My remote display is mounted on top of my steering column, with the remote audio control placed on the left side of the column, adjacent the turn signal stalk. The main benefit of placing the remote...

    Re: Average price for 9500ci

    There have been a number of "Factory-Sealed, New in Box" 9500CI's sold on eBay for $999 to $1,199. However, I have no idea whether these are authorized dealers, or whether the units would be covered...
