9500ix Updates

[CJR238]

agree 100%

Bottom line is we still don't have any updates available for us to use the USB ourselves as mentioned.

I’m playing devils advocate here. I’m playing on words just like how Escort intended the vague cards they sent with the 9500I's to do.

Yes we do have updates available.

Send it in and get the software and all the other features, then you will be able to download directly from there web sight.

They didn’t say how you will be able to do this. They just said it would be able to be done.

No problem at all, apart from this: "...you will be able to download and install software updates directly from our website".

But you can, you just need to send it in to update it first than you can do it from home.

Who knows, maybe they will have something for the 9500I as well.

I personally prefer getting a Trinity Database, AutoLock, improved mark location radios, auto power down, more memory and a trained professional installing it on my 9500I. Rather than a thrown together mark location database that is not proven and using old technology just to give me the peace of mind that Escort did what i perceived they should of done.

Did you mean ratios? Or are you listening to music on you 9500i?

Bluetooth would be a killer update to detectors!
You could connect to your bluetooth headset, or bluetooth speaker for amplification of alerts! That'd probably require hardware though.

Don’t get me wrong here Escort did twist there added benefit to provide a better unit, but why do we always seem to expect everything for nothing, or close to nothing. Why when we read something do we expect that what we perceive it to say be fact, when it actuality we misinterpreted it?

probably because they deliberately worded it with the intentions of deceit?

X2, but is it really deceit or does it fall into that fine print of "subject to change without notice"

[Radar Roy]

No, they didn't.
In the box there is a card saying that you have to register the product online and then they will send you an email

Did they mention how much the subscription is to the database service by itself?

(Sorry if this was covered in another thread.)

No......its deceit. Period.

We're not buying a used car here from some shlep around the corner.
It's a brand new "top of the line" detector (AT TOP OF THE LINE COST) from a company that should be conscerned about keeping its customers happy--and its reputation high.

Bottom line. SELL THE CURRENT 9500I on eBay. You'll get about 400 dollars maybe 415. In turn you only spend about 65 dollars on a NEW IX after shipping / taxes.
