When you update it you will have the newest version. No version numbers for you to check. Kind of annoying but still does the job.

The Defender database is a weekly update - typically Mondays. The emails I receive the next day has which states it applies to.

The firmware however on the Escort site is not the latest.
The new detectors (9500ix) recently sold have a newer version than what is available on the Escort site.
When I tried to do the firmware update on my 9500ix, it was a newer version than what was available.
Don't remember where I read it, but Escort should be updating the firmware version on their site sometime early 2010. A email notification should go out for this.
Then I suspect it will be the same version already on my 9500ix, or maybe even better so I can get my 9500ix up to the latest, that's if the version exceeds what I already have.

When doing the weekly Defender database updates, you can also see the version available for the Firmware. Should one do the the weekly update and not check their email, one can simply see if any firmware version update took place.

I also would think that once the new firmware version becomes active, the word will get out to include this forum.

Just checked and

The 9500ix software version is 1.1 (no change)
and the 9500ci version is 1.3

The Detector Tools version is dated 11/04/09

I see when checking on the 9500ix software, it says what the change update is/does.

I'm suspecting once they update to version 1.2, then it will just match what my 9500ix already has and would not benefit me, as my 9500ix is the newer shipped version that already includes the latest. For others, they may benefit from the update.
Detectors Tools is what told me that my 9500ix is up to date with a newer version than what is available on Escort site.
