Question about 9500i key code

**holein1** · 05-05-2009, 02:52 PM

A friend of mine has a 9500i that he purchased when they first came out. He was asking me the other day about updating his unit and said that he could not do this because he didn't have a key code for it (said that it didn't come with one). He purchased the 9500i from a stereo shop called car toys, did the original units not come with key codes?

What is the best way to go about getting one, also can I just give him my key code or will that screw up my updates ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm pretty sure that all your buddy has to do is register his 9500i with Escort. Then he can download RD Tools and the latest firmware update for it.

The key codes are only for database updates. The 9500i does not have a database, so therefore, no key code. Your friend can update his 9500i's firmware without a key code.

Thanks for the info! I have a IX and it's been a while since I owned the 9500i however I was thinking that they came with a key code for some reason. Will just tell him to register and see if that works.
