Yeah, if you want custom install without ZR4, you want the Bel STIR Plus. IT's about 99% identical to the 9500ci. It doesn't have the "shifters," and a couple of the features are slightly...

If you can get it under the dash plastic and *not* under the grill that may actually be better. If the grill is metal, metal is bad. Plastic is less bad than metal.

Personally, I want my GPS as...

Most installers will put the GPS on the dash... Did you self-install or take it somewhere? If a shop did it, I would find out where they put the "brain" of the system as well, because that...

What kind of car? Some cars have coatings or wires in the front glass that can affect GPS reception.

When you say "under the hood," do you mean the dash plastics? Plastic shouldn't impede GPS...

It is possible. I have the RNS-510, the Escort 9500ci, and the LI, plus I have the Kufatec FISCON bluetooth system which uses the tel mute for its correct purpose. ;)

All 3 are tied in to the...

Yes, OHP has Ka. They also have Laser in some areas.

Cool to see another fellow .:R owner on here. You on Vortex? :)

I put mine up on the top grille bar, just below the hood overhang. I used wood screws and just screwed into the plastic, using...

Don't care about it saving me, I have LIs. I was more trying to figure out if I would have to swap the antenna from my 9500ci if I switched to the STI-R+. FWIW though, the ci shifters have actually...

Title says it all -- from the factory, does the STI-R+ detect lidar, or is it radar-only until you add their shifters?

Really, the root of the question - is the "radar module" identical to the...

I would move the GPS. You have the antenna pointed toward the interior of the car. You want the panel pointing up. Stick it under teh dash somewhere, GPS should go through the dash plastic without...

You should NOT be using a 30A fuse on the line for the RD. You can probably get away with 1A, definitely don't need more than 5A. Assuming nothing else is on that circuit, change that first.

Well there's your problem. Evos and STIs are stupidly expensive to insure because of all the dumbass kids that wreck them. In Ohio, an Evo was going to be something like $2500/yr for me when I was...

FWIW, in the video you linked, that is the "expected behavior" of escort's tel mute, I believe.

Here is how my 9500ci works:

Alert, full volume, radio mutes
automute (should be called...

^^ what he said. I've had Ka alerts on my 9500ci for a mile or more on flat road, oncoming LEO in the opposite lane. I also have my antenna NOT behind a bumper skin. (There are plastic grille...

Thats not necessarily the case, with close mounting (within a foot or so) there can be regular EMI emissions that can cause one to not alert appropriately while the other is fine. Most likely antenna...

Finally, another .:R guy realizes that the LI is > *. You're on Vortex, no? Your handle seems familiar.

To clarify further - the bubble is the receiving lens on the head. You want the lens near the front plate if you have one, otherwise you want it near the headlights (the main target if there is no...

Move out of Ohio so I don't get banged sales tax on your website. :) Where is the warehouse here, up by Cleveland or down by "Cincinasty" or the state capitol that doesn't understand the concept of...

Negative ground is negative ground. What do you think a fair portion of automotive wire is made of? (Hint - if not copper, it's aluminum.)

Please tell me on the way back you drove through Deal's Gap / US 129? Best damn driving road in the US. :)

An alternative if you don't want to cut the grille is swap to Golf GT or standard Jetta grilles. They are horizontal bars instead of the honeycomb, and that way you can always put the honeycomb back...

Agreed 100 percent. :) I'm planning on picking up a Plus when they hit, but since I'm lazy I'm going to swap as little as possible (I currently have a 9500ci). If the radar horns, buttons, and...

Note that all of the discussion in the past was the STI-R compatibility with the 9500ci.

STI-R PLUS may be using a different display. Doesn't it have GPS functionality? If so, the display there...

The 9500ci will false if you look at it funny. Glare off of chrome bumpers, glare off of side mirrors... There's an ice cream place in the area, that when I turn into their drive (Steep upward...

Exactly. At the speed of light, the return pulses from the gun will be received before the jammer pulses, which are a good four feet farther away, if behind a windshield. Perhaps an 'always on'...
