I had one of these it was the ESD-7400… Terrible TERRIBLE detection.. by the time it would alert to a radar detection the cop/speed trap was in plain view of sight.. as in this case you can obviously notice the vehicle parked doing his thing WAY before the detector picked it up.. REMEMBER your EYES are the best detector… these things are just to help aid you.. save up some money and get a good range one V1 I recomend good luck man. :/
@ry4n0007 I don’t get what ur talking about. Describe in detail how the GPS helps u know if there’s more than 1 bogey? Like what does it say on the screen and stuff and their locations.
you dont need bogey count when you can simply lock it out with gps, and for fixed cameras it will alert you and warn you when approaching revenue camera, I dont hear annoying beeps from my radar anymore only when it needs to.
Your the dumbass with a STI hahah
once again be 2 steps ahead, which by the sounds of you would have no idea of this.
-Try knowing which police cars have RDD’s because there is only a fue police cars in my state with RDD’s.
-As a back up have a cheap RDD at your disposal in case of seizure.
My 9500ix works awesome, Detects laser and radar in time for me to avoid a ticket.
Yours on the other hand beeps everytime you pass automatic doors because you dont have gps lockout which mine does
You paid $600.00 and if they are “against the law” in Austrialia they WILL detect it with VG2 RDD and SEIZE the unit then you will be out $600.00. Ahahaha WTF you need an STI Driver RD with an concealed display. It’s the ONLY RD in the world PROVEN 100% invisible and almost as good as a 9500i.
Ahahaha the police see that piece of poo inncorrectly mounted in the corner… they prop know it doesn’t even work so why bother stopping you ? Ahahahaha ..
Cobras are the worst radar detectors you can get. I got a speeding ticket the other day from a motorcycle DPS. on the highway. I was going 81 on a 55 limit. The f&*#^! radar didn’t even make a false alert. Im thinking about getting a new radar, but not know which one is the best. Any suggestions will help?
i now have the 9500ix and its great !!
and as for the mounting i cant go showing it off in the middle of my dash.
I need to 2 steps ahead of the police, they are against the law in Australia
Dude, you need to Upgrade that thing. Did u see how close you were to that car before it started to go off? if you had the Escort 9500, 8500 which i have, or even a V1, you would have picked it up 2 miles sooner. plus, your choice of mounting it horrid.
Lol so what do you say when the cops do pull you over?
Cop: what’s that?
You: ita my alarm clock
Cop: oh okay well stay awake.
You can get a ticket for that right?

My 9500ix gps is quite the opposite to shitty its the best thing they have added to any radar.
strongly recommend 9500ix

@ry4n0007 Passport does not give u arrows or Bogey count which both of them are EXTREMELY more helpful than a GPS that is unnecessary.

I don’t have an STI – I have a V1.
But you should have the STI. If RD are illegal in your country you better damn well have the STI -Driver.
And yes having that peice of shit (unplugged) in your car for seizure “just in case” is a good idea – I’ll give you that.
9500i GPS lockout was proven shitty by the Radar review guys as it locks out real police radar AND the falses.
Ahahahaha I would rather have a RD that works ahaa …
June 29th, 2010 at 8:24 am
you are looking at my disposable seizure decoy….cop that dickhead
