9500i ?

[frank od]

Picked up a used 9500i for my other car.The last numbers in the S/N are 4807.Is there a firmware update for this or will it be current? Thanks.

Built 48 week of 2007. I may be wrong. If I'm right, it's not the newest software with poor ramp up audio.

Eah the new software came out 2009 I believe and you can upgrade via a pc.

If I sent it back to Escort for reprogramming and to update the display to the blue LED's what would the cost be?Thanks.

You should be ok, ramp up wasn't made that much better anyway. Update it via USB!


There was a ramp up problem people were complaining about, the 9500I would go from beginning alert to full alert no mid range.
9500's ramp up problem was like: 1-1-1-2-9-9-9 (jumps to full alert from a weak strength)
There now is a flash available with new software to fix ramp up, and all new 9500I's with a build date after 4007 have it. If yours has the ramp up problem you can call and request the ramp up flash/update. You will need to send it in to Escort but you should get it back in a week or two. New 9500I’s built after November 2007 will have the ramp up fix incorporated in them.
Personally I like the ramp up (quieter) so I won’t be updating mine, but I will be getting a new Blue 9500I.

UPDATE! Updates via USB are now available from Escort for the 9500I!

I don't believe they will upgrade to the Blue display and if they do you would of been better off buying a Blue unit right off the bat.
