    Default Hello Everyone!

    Hello, I just bought an escort passport 9500ix and used it today for a 7.5 hour trip. So far I have not been impressed and actually got pulled over in Peoria, IL today. Thank God he was in a good mood. I am hoping to find out something here that will make me like this unit better as it was very pricey.

    Welcome aboard. Why did he pull you? Laser or radar used? If it was laser, no radar detector will protect you. With radar you can be hit with instant on. If you describe the encounter a bit more, you can figure out if it was a RD detector issue or just a enforcement method that got you,

    welcome to the form, sorry to hear about your bad break, the 9500ix is really a great detector, it just doesn't help to much against laser an Q/T

    I came up behind him in the left lane with him in the right, when getting beside hime and recognizing him as a police officer I hit the brakes. He slowed even more and pulled in behind me and turned the lights on, I pull over and he said he clocked me at 79 when I coming up on him, the unit never went off. FOr 499 I would have fared just as well without it.

    Did he say he clocked you with radar? Maybe he just paced you using his speedometer to "clock" you.

    It's a radar detector, not a cop detector. If he's not using radar, it does nothing. No radar detector does at any price. Situational awareness fail.

    Welcome to the forum. If the cop was moving it was not laser. It might have been QT.
