Hi

I can't reply unless I post first? OK........ Hi

I just purchased a 9500ix for $466 Cdn using Future Shop's "beat by 5%" rule plus a print out of a SoundsAround clearance flyer. Pretty happy about that

Cheers!

Thanks for the welcome posts I happened upon this site using Google and was pleased to confirm my decision to pass on the Cobra detectors at BetBuy It also made it clear to me that I should return the 9500i and get an iX. My old, old Uniden detector has acually served me very well (including getting slowed down in time during some surprise head-on laser hits, believe it or not) over the years, but now with the 9500ix I've leapfrogged ahead "just a little" technology-wise and this site is quite helpful with some helpful info.

Cheers!

Hi, I was just saying that my old, old detector actually was pretty good with laser. I remember one time getting hit twice with laser (plus one other radar hit) driving from Lake Louise to Calgary at a high speed, say 35-40 km over and seemingly getting slowed down in time. And I mean that I was definitely the target and as I stomped on the brakes I was looking right at the laser operator, with me being the only guy that could have been targeted. One of them seemed to be a fair distance, picking off folks as they crested a hill. But I also credit the fact that we have no front license plate and the Integra is pretty small and made with lots of sloped plastic and possibly sloppy RCMP operators I couldn't believe that I'd made it home without a ticket that day. My 98 Sienna also seems somewhat hard to get a radar reading on, for that matter.

I like the 9500ix, but from the forums I've been reading this weekend, it seems that I want to turn off auto-learn and possibly turn off GPS while on the highway for better response to IO. It was kinda neat after powering it up for the first time in the store parking lot and getting warnings about red light cameras as I drove through Calgary

Cheers!
