I had the same problem with my GX65 and exactly the same set up with you (GX65+LP905).You must sent your 8500 to escort to repair the laser circuit as i do.The problem disappeared.

It sounds like a combination of a noisy electrical system, and possibly (if this just started to occur) and issue with the regulatory (circuits) in the 8500.

You could try an inline filter.

Don't send the detector in to get it "repaired," until you've first confirmed, FOR CERTAIN, that it is not, first, VEHICLE related.

This thread will help guide you ->

And as-usual, I'll give my blurb, too:

Start with the simple/obvious stuff, first, and work your way "inward" towards the detector itself and vehicle innards.
