Question for ix owners.

[thestaton]

I've had the chance to pay with my IX for about 10 days now. First of all, the autolearn is cool. It will lock out a false (bad???) after three passes. The screen says " Stored" when it locks it out. Sorta like an automatic Truelock (but I dont want to get into that debate). Anyway, YES, the arrows DO in fact point on a "8" axis basis where the speed or redlight cams are. It actually rotates around if you are passing it on a parallel basis and not going directly through that particular intersection. It is the exact same as the Ci except it is portable from car to car, does not have to be installed (yet is not secret like the Ci). Overall, a better unit than the Ci simply because of the portability.

Also, I have been using "HighwayNoX " mode and its great. No falses at ALL since in IL they use either K, Ka or Lidar. Very little Vascar and some airplanes across the plains!! My V-1 never stops falsing in the City and I do love that unit, BUT gotta say..........OK, here we go again, it ( 9500iX) is BETTER than my V-1. How?? Less falsing, just as good range (ran em both together with Eccosorb) and is so damn user friendly, you'd have to be "stupid" not to be able to plug and play this unit. Plus, the IX is updateable on line, a BIG plus!! Sorry, but I own BOTH and in My opinion, the 9500iX is better. This is all subjective until GOL gets a chance to get together on this one which I am sure is in the works.

I have a few questions: What does the GPS filter ON versus off do and what are advantages??? Its on the top front left of the detector. Also, my 9500 i announces that GPS is received, BUT the iX does not do this??? Wonder why???

Best to leave it ON Filter then???

fo sho.

meaning what? when you shut the GPS off you'll see the icon for gps disappear from the screen. now any "TrueLocked" locations will no longer be locked. Your speed will still display though. When you put the GPS back on, you'll see the icon return and supposedly itll be back to blocking out your TrueLocked locations.

I however realized that all but 1 of my TrueLocked locations were no longer stored after driving around a few days with the GPS off. I don't know why that is...but it was blatantly obvious. I tested the locked out areas several times over again after reactivating the GPS filter, and they were no longer locked. This after weeks of passing them daily to and from work seeing them locked out.

Can’t wait to here from you weather in Expert mode with Voice alerts on it announces multiple frequencies or not.
It might be tricky to have the right scenario, but if you get 2 different bands at once it should do it no problem.

the CI is dominating the V1 on X Band, and holds a marginal lead on K band.

That's exactly what I see.

Which mode are you in to get the tracking lines pointing toward speed and red light camaras?

I guess I don't have this qoute thing down. I borrowed the first part of this post from an earlier post.

It works in every mode.

Had my ix for 3 days now,and tried out autolearn and mark location.
I marked loc in my driveway,and now when I drive home down the next street over thats parallel to my house,the ix alerts and shows 400 ft with the arrow pointing to the right.as I make turns the arrow turns and the distance counts down,and just as I hit the edge of my driveway,it says "you've reached your marked location"!

The autolearn feature:
everyday I pass a fixed speed signs that show your speed,shure enough on the third day it alerted K band,and I thought I guess not. but right after th alert,it showed STORED.Thats a fact, jack !

Having fun with my 9500ix !!
