    My brain is my "autolearn" (has almost cost me a few times ). If I lived in the city I might consider a Belscort over a V1, although I've never quite understood speeding in an area with a lot of falses since it is typically congested in those areas (not a dig at the OP, sounds like you were in a rural area).

    Just doesn't sound right to me. And it's not even 4/1
    I agree. I've never heard a LEO refer to radar as C/O or I/O, like we do. We still have not seen a copy of the ticket. Also, the 9500ix should have alerted the second blackbeltrk turned off his GPS. He shouldn't have had to power cycle his 9500ix, unless the reason it wasn't alerting was smartmute and not TrueLock. The other thing I find wierd is that blackbeltrk's second post ever is about TrueLock getting him a ticket. That just seems odd.

    I was telling the story in my own words. I wasn't quoteing the officers exact words. I also posted a pic of the speeding ticket on this form. And will be making a YouTube video about this subject as well. Please look for updates.

    What do you mean was that the best i can do ? Tickets have personal information on them. And I'm not willing to share that with the world. You see it is a speeding ticket 50 in a 35 just like I said in my form. Do you work for escort or somthing?

    I don't understand someone driving 55 in a 35 when they have already just seen and picked up radar just being used.

One day i was going to the local cvs store. I was driving in a 35 mph zone when my ix starts alerting me k band i drove for about 1 min then i see a leo he has a car already pulled over to the side of the road. So i passed the leo and the ix did its job. (went crazy) After i passed the leo the ix went off for another min. By this time i was in the parking lot for cvs which does have false lock outs from auto learn of k and x band. Now for the way back . This is where the trouble starts. I was driving down the same road i just came from and the ix didnt make a sound. With having auto learn on my ix already took care of all the false alerts. In this area its 3 k band lock outs and 2 x band lock outs. Then out of know where a leo comes behind me with with its lights on riding my rear bumper. I wasnt sure how fast i was driving. I was just going with traffic wasnt in a hurry. So i pull over and roll the window down and the officer says you know why i stopped you? I said no i dont . He says i was sittting in a parking lot to your left about a 1 mile down the road. When i clocked you going 55 in a 35. I then asked how he got my speed and he said radar. I then asked what type of radar he was using he said it was k band c/o and i was just sitting their waiting for someone to speed by me. So i got all my papper work for the officer and i was sitting their and then i noticed my gps icon spinning. It was still locking out this radar even know i wasnt in a known lockout area. So i turned the gps off and unplugged my ix and plugged it back in. Now it goes crazy alerting me k band with the leo sitting behind me writing me my ticket. So the officer comes back to my car and hands me a ticket for 50 in a 35 took 5 mph off . $ 165.00 and 2 points now im wondering why my ix didnt alerting me of the leo. And why the ix locked out his radar. I think the auto learn locked the leo out when i went passed him the frist time. Even know it has to be 3 passes or more to lock out a false with auto learn. Im not sure i dont trust auto learn anymore and i just mute all my false alerts now. I do all my updates and i was using v 1.1 note: even when i turned the gps back on and the leo was following me after giving me a ticket the ix still locked out his radar when we were driving down the road . I still use my ix everyday. But dont ever lock anything out anymore. I cleared all my lock out locations. And i turn auto learn off. One ticket is one to many.

    ps I didnt write this to dog on the ix i just want people to be careful out their.And know the risk of using auto learn or locking out false alerts. I think the ix is a great detector with good range. And i still use my ix everyday.

    I am a bit concerned about Truelock too.

    However, I would have been a bit more careful on the way back within such a short time of your encounter.

    Just had another case of truelock locking out Leo. At a red light near my 1st encounter, my V1 went off full blast rear K-band and my 9500CI beep a few times than went into silent and spinning GPS signal. Highly thinking about pawning my 9500CI and go with a V1+remote display+V1 remote audo+chetah mirror+LI. I think i can get $800-1,000 for my 9500CI. I mainly got the 9500CI for the stealth install with the whole all in 1 package.

    This sounds like smartmute to me.
