    Two minor problems. Once in awhile it takes about 4 minutes to get a sat signal, I would say 2-3 times a month it takes about 15 minutes. It usually happens when I first go to start the car and leave in the morning. It happened 2 days ago, where I drove 15 minutes and the speed was still not displayed when I got home.

    The other isnt really a problem but when I blow my horn the laser alert goes off (4 out of 5 times), it goes to full alert when I blow my horn and slowly stops when I let off.

    Sounds odd. Curious if anyone else has experienced and addressed this? If you don't get a satisfactory idea from the group, you should ping Larry the escort rep for his perspective. May need to send it in for servicing.

    Where exactly do you have the ix mounted? Also, what vehicle do you drive? Sometimes, with my 9500ci it takes about 2-3 minutes for me to get a GPS signal.

    Its mounted on the windshield near the bottom of the dash in the center. It has a clear view of the sky. I have had it in my 96 lt4 vette which I sold 7 months ago and also my beater 2000 mitsubishi mirage both had the same problem.

    My ci picks up gps signal really quickly usually within 10 seconds of leaving garage. The ix can take up to 30 seconds.

    I am assuming the xi and i would pickup the signal around the same time. Maybe its partly due to my location in Jersey.
