9500ci Without Rear Laser Shifter

[geekmedic]

I'm finally going to install a 9500ci. I like the detector, the display, etc.

I'm hesitant to install the rear shifter since it's above the license plate and easily visible. What happens if you're ever stopped? The LEO will see the jammer and probably will be more likely to issue you a ticket.

Will the 9500ci give error messages if you don't install the rear shifter? Will it still function without the rear shifter?

No they aren't illegal in Ga so who cares

I've been stopped several times with rear jammers on my car. I highly doubt any LEO even noticed it, nor would immediately be able to identify it as a countermeasure.

You will get a quick error message on startup, but the 9500ci functions fine without the rear shifter installed. Some have speculated that the 9500ci might lose some reaction time, because it might be constantly looking for that shifter, but I don't think anyone has even tried to verify this.

I tested my 9500ci with and without the shifters plugged in. Reaction time was the same.

I told a LEO that asked what the sensors on the back of the car were, that they were parking sensors. He replied cool. He pulled up at one of our testing sessions and sat behind my car for 20 minutes before he noticed them. I would not worry about it.

I'm in the same boat as you. I don’t want the system to be noticed so I too have not installed the rear shifter.

As others have stated here the system will still function but without rear protection.

The only thing I have contemplated is to somehow integrate the rear shifter with something like parking sensors or a backing up cam. Still have to research the subject some more before I decide, but for now no rear shifter install for me.

go ahead and install it. if u dont, u wont have good radar detection in ur rear. if u ever do get stopped and the officer notices just say its a parking sensor

What!?!? The rear shifter has absolutely nothing to do with rear radar detection.

srry meant to type laser

Never thought of saying it's a parking sensor.
