    Because they can...literally. Where the hell else are you going to get these things from? It makes absolutely no sense, but don't tell Escort that...

    Just like Apple, everything is propietary. You HAVE to go to them if you want an up-to-date DB, and don't you, that's why you bought it? They get you coming, and go...errr...coming, and coming, and coming, and coming....

    Sooner or later, these things will have a modem in them and they will be able to download new RLC's and such instantaneously from a satellite somewhere. Escort will not allow you to upgrade, and charge a gazillion $$$'s for it.

    I'm probably the only one who care but this is what you get for $4.50 shipping

    1) Nice bubble wrap envelope.......



    2) ....to protect he standard size .45 cents to mail envelope....





    3) ....containing an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper with my subscription number and instruction on how to apply it to my account.




    So I got a piece of paper with my subscription code on it that woudl have cost 45 cents to mail to me (or even better free in email) for $4.50. Hmmmmm how to make Escort pay for that $4.50........

    I ordered the Gold Package with my 9500ix, and the adapter and USB cable were included in the plan. I received the 9500ix this past Fri.

    They could have sent that information to you in an email like everybody else does.

    I called up Belscort and inquired what was being sent that justified a shipping charge of $4.50? She went ahead and waived the shipping fee. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to ask and be pleasant when asking. I used the weather that week as my ice breaker. Also doesn't hurt that I have been a customer since the 80's.

    "NOW Including USB Cable and 12 Volt Power Adapter!"

    Well... I guess sometimes for those who wait there are better deals to be had. 2 months ago I didn't get neither of those things and paid for shipping.
