The Escort 9500ix has the exact same radar and laser detection capabilities as the Escort 9500i so there is no need for a new radar detector test yet. Go to radardetectordotnet and the majority of users will tell you that the V1 is more sensitive to radar and laser than the Escort 9500 series.
I am starting the believe that these sites are biased because other sites have different data and that one doesnt include the 9500ix which is newer than the 9500i… although it is virtually the same also that test i almost 2 years old….I actually got my 9500ix for $350 new in box
The V1 is actually $399 brand new and it still beats the $500 Escort 9500ix and the $450 Escort 9500i. Just go to Guysoflidardotcom and check their latest radar detector test.
Although Pop Mode doesn’t hold up in court, detecting it does let you know if there are any police running radar nearby. This can be crucial since the officer could easily switch to normal mode whenever you get closer and then nail you to the wall.
because they are stubbin. you know how old poeple get stuck in there ways. but hey thats not everyone i got the escort 8500 x50 blue display i love it but im not hateful to every other brand. i just down like the cheap ass ones because they set my detector off
hold both the top two buttons together for two seconds. The x50 will go into program mode, from there press the left button which is the “review” button, go till u see BAND DFT. When u get to there, hit the right button which is “change” and keep pressing it slowly till you see POP….OFF, at that point press the MUTE button which is on the LENSE of the radar to the right. It should now read “POP….ON”. After you have done this, dont touch any button for 8 seconds

Side-by-side testing makes me rather skeptical of your COPYRIGHTED material here, sonny.

valentine 1 $499 …8500 $310….put the 9500ix next to it and lets see what happens…
February 11th, 2010 at 10:33 am
Very true. Just I dont know anyone who would pick one detector over another based on how well it did vs. another in detecting pop.

You could check eBay or contact one of the manufactuers. You will need a Part 90 FCC license though.

Does Cobra even make Radar Detectors??? (sarcasm)
February 11th, 2010 at 1:06 pm
I have POP disabled on all my RD so it doesn’t matter.
February 11th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
Why wouldn’t you compare the V1 with the 9500?
February 11th, 2010 at 1:40 pm

February 11th, 2010 at 2:05 pm
why are radar detector owners so hateful to every other brand other than their own.
February 11th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
glad I had a V1
February 11th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
The 35 mph tuning fork to make sure the radar gun is tuned correctly.
February 11th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
