9500iX Rocks

[Bushman15]

I just installed the software to manage my 9500iX and I was pleasantly suprised to find that I no longer need a seperate 12V power supply when updating at my desktop. The new units starting with serial no. 22XXXXXXX only need the USB cable to power the unit through the computer.

Also, I see that User Preferences can be set in the software and sent to the unit. This looks to be much easier than scrolling through all those settings on the RD itself.

Just thought I would pass that along just in case anyone missed it.

Happy motoring.

I have not posted on this site since 2/4/2006! But I heard about the GPS based detectors and decided it was time to upgrade. My Bel RX65 has done me (us) well over the years, but I had to lock out X and K bands or go nuts...my wife hates false alarms too.

So I started looking at what is new. WOW! They did it!
Is the 9500ix the $#!+ or what? I would have gone with the Bel GX65, but Autolearn is what I wanted (and need for my wife's trips...she doesn't want to "program" it). There is not very much X and K in my area (only one SO pickup running X and very few locals have K anymore), so I should be safe with autolearn and some common sense. I'm a 9.99 over guy anyway (4.99 in town/city), but everyone misses a sign at times. That is when they get ya.

I am very surprised in the level of advancement since my last look at RDs. The software and RL/SC updates Bushman15 mentions here were enough to push me over the edge...so I got one on the way. Doing the rebate thing too. I now drive my mini-van all over Florida for my new job, so I need the best basic protection I can get without all the noise. I will use my old Bel RX65 when I fly elsewhere and rent a car. Or maybe take the 9500ix with me and put the Bel back in the van for a short time. I'm stoked and can't wait for the new RD!

Thanks for all the info here. It was a quick learning experience.

I absolutely love autolearn, as most do that use it, but there are some that don't trust it. Either way, since you live in an area where there is very little X and/or K band, you'll probably love it.

My woman is like yours. She hates my RDs, but autolearn has totally changed that. Not only does she not have a problem with my stuff, she now even has a 9500ix hardwired in her car. They're perfect for women, since they require almost no user interaction and are extremely quiet once all of the false alerts on their normal drives are learned. When it alerts, slow down because it's probably a cop. Nothing could be simpler.

Roger that, djrams80. It is alot of coin, but I really think this upgrade is worth it. Sounds like our women are alike in the "no user interaction" area. But if that is your woman in your avatar, you have me beat!

Um, yeah. Unfortunately, that's not my girl, but she did look a lot like that about 15 years ago! Now, not so much. Definitely still hot, but not quite at that level anymore.

Well... your a good man to stick with your woman... even if she doesn't look like your avatar. Like you, my wife doesn't look like that anymore either, however, when we got married she was very thin... I mean, she got our her wedding dress recently and my very thin athletic daughter who is two inches shorter than her could not get the dress on and zipped. I was amazed...we celebrate 25 years together this August, and I'm a better man for having her in my life.

Oh, back on topic... she is RD intolerant also. Big reason for going with the best!

16 years for me, and all of them good. No complaints. You just have to pick the right one (not easy...takes time or good luck). I just wish she was a little more outgoing, but no one is perfect. Oh...and she still wares some of the same clothes. Sill has the "hour glass" thing going on. I'm the one with the "beer gut".

Man, I really want this new RD. I'm also thinking of getting the blinder M47! Since they are right down the road from me, I might pay them a visit (Palm Beach Gardens) Should I?
