Couldn't get multanova with 9500ci

Today i made tests with my escort 9500ci US version against multinova multiradar c band 24,100 GHz k band.


I was shocked no detection at all . Ka tested ok k tested ok.


My radar sensor was installed behind the glass inside my car ,before it was behind my car logo Lexus logo. And people advised me to change the location , because low power radar needs vertical mode and nothing in front radar sensor, so i told myself let me see what different it will makes

So i removed it to inside my car to make some test and yes nothing detect.


So what do you think?

Something wrong with your RD or the speed camera was not on.

No way i already got ka police car , k is working , nothing is wrong two cars multaradar c

I will try tomorrow. With vids

Is there any chance that the radar system was not turned on in the vehicle that you did the runs against? Did you try another detector against the same vehicle at the time to see if this was the case?

Just a few suggestions :).

I hope that the radar was off as it would be a big problem for you if the 9500CI was unable to detect it and I would be surprised also. A member from Ireland got 500 metres on one of these things with his Euro version Redline a few days ago. Even if it was because your 9500CI was the US version, it should still go off at least when you are close to the thing :confused:.

My STiR Plus is a US version and it still detected the Redflex here even if it was at a poor range at times and they both use the same M3 antenna but the software is probably different all right.

Try it again tomorrow and see if it works then.

Sorry for the vid. But here you can see v1 get it with low distance maybe 50 meters

I will try to upload new one later this day and good one.


Escort couldn't detect it v1 ok but within 50 meters.

Not good news for the 9500ci.

Ghost_9, the Multaradar C is very low powered. If my memory serves me right, the output power is only 0,15 mw. For comparison the Multanova 6F (Ka-Band), has a output power of 0,5 mw and only TOP detectors (V1, Stinger, STI-R,...) can detect this photo radar acceptable.

Looking at some videos on youtube, the M3 platform (STI-Driver, 9500ci, Redline, STI-R) should detect the Multaradar a few hundred metres away.

If your 9500ci doesn't detect the Multaradar C at all, then something is wrong with your detector or your install.
Most likely your windshield blocks the radar waves. You can do some testing and hold the V1 out of your window. Drive slowly towards the photo radar and look if detection is better, when holding your V1 out of the window. You may also try a vertical mount.

Let me explain some thing here. I'm looking for detection !! I have passed by multanova so many times holding radar sensor by my hand. But there were no k band alert not even small one. So i believe im facing something wrong with k band. Sending back radar sensor to escort won't be easy and will cost me a lot. So i think i should pass and keep it in its old place behind my car logo. What i have seen by testing v1 against this multaradar c. I believe it's too hard to detect it more than 100 meters. Lol damn this multanova is good

Ghost: how was your 9500ci mounted? horizontally like -- or vertically like | ? I have same experience with my stir-plus. with the radar antenna pointed away no detection at all. approaching the radar from the front there was sometimes a detection but only in the radar beam. sti-r plus was mounted vertically. multaradar was set to sensitivity 1 (lowest). my stinger DSI alerted at about 100-120 when approaching the radar from the back and maybe about 250 from the front (curved road and going uphill). the DSI SA(spectrum analyzer = antenna) was also mounted "vertically" i.e. position B meaning polarized for multanova 6f/ramer. i bet the detection would have been better when monted in position A i.e. polarized for multaradar. which country do you live in ghost? I would say Stigner DSI or Stinger Card would be the detector for you :)

I live in saudi arabia. We have two kind of they call it "saher". One is using multanova and other vitronics. My western area of saudi arabia using multanova and only radars are been used. Others are using vitronic laser. Back to escort 9500ci i believe mounting wasn't the problem because it didn't detect any thing not small k when approaching to multaradar c And that's why i came to point i believe this isnt multaradar issue. My escort 9500ci got problem maybe when updating it , i failed to do it right.


Stinger card very expensive ? What is the lowest price you guys found it? I dont want the whole package i just need spectrum analyzer with basic functions to make it works. But i have been advise that stinger only fit for k band and little of ka. And it can't detect mobile ka and other ka. So it's going be specially for multanova.
