Re: V1 vs 9500ix Excel Matrix
I have a lot of detectors over the last 20 years and I have always become numb to the alerts because of false alerts. I even quit using a detector for the past couple years. I decided to try the 9500IX and so far I love it, not perfect but much better them getting false alerts all the time. I would have bough the V1 if I did a lot of highway travel or drove over the speed limit more often.
Re: V1 vs 9500ix Excel Matrix
The thing I like about the 9500ix is it is very versatile its awesome in the city, and good on the highways. And you can run it in Highway mode the entire time and not have to cut the sensitivity in the city. It does have a problem with Q/T, which depending on your area is nonexistent, or used alot.
V1 is a great city detector if you use the K band automute, turn off X band, turn off the bogey lock tones, and mute the rear k band. Basically just turn the V1 off in the city. But it is the undisputed king of the highway, that's the reason I own one. The arrows are a nice feature and the sensitivity is great.

X2, mswlogo, rocky2& LucDogg. Though there is always inherent risks using any technology any logical person can make it work for them.
Its like i cant fathom why the V1 can mute a K band alert up to 30 seconds, by that time i would be busted. However if your attentive to it how it works, it works perfectly fine.
The biggest complaint i have about TrueLock nay Sayers is they make it sound like it locks out everything everywhere. its only a 1/10 to 1/2mi areaand not the whole US.
As far as the whole QT thing that is certainly on its way to being unacceptable but most of us are over reacting a bit to Q/T. Though its important to push the issue its used in all of maybe ~8 states and limited to some areas.
Re: V1 vs 9500ix Excel Matrix
I agree, autolock is a good feature even if it's not perfect.
QT may be a bit overblown but still needs to be fixed.

My 9500ix has locked out 2 falses and the lock out area is very small, at both Home Depot and Giant Eagle the lock our area is smaller then the parking lots.

v1, was that your video and was pop on or off in that. Oh and of course what version. First I've seen that video. So many no real world hobby tests but nothing like that. That was crystal clear it's threat an an issue for Escort to solve it.
Thanks
