We find the Passport 9500ci radar detector as good as the Bel STi-R remote radar detector for radar detection. The Passport 9500ci has even better voice alerts, using a woman's voice that makes you want to turn around and look as that fine lady!

We provide the test results below for the Escort 9500ci radar detector using the ZR4 Laser Shifters, which were updated to protect drivers against the Stalker LZ1 laser gun; and the Laser Atlanta laser gun, which also uses a dual pulse, stealth mode. The Escort 9500ci is a superb radar detector and laser jammer package with supurb voice alerts.

The Passport 9500ci was tested by 1stRadarDetectors.com and Speed Measurement Labs on June 28 and 29, 2008. I was very impressed with the 9500ci radar detection performance, electronic invisibility to all RDD, GPS Lock capabilities, very good voice alerts sounding like a beautiful lady is sitting with you in the car. The GPS Photo Detector of the 9500ci is very consistent with detection of photo speed camera detectors and red light camera detectors. It is not a jammer, however.

The Passport 9500ci radar
The Passport 9500ci radar detector is equal in design to the Bel STi-R Remote, both which makes RDD useless - There is no RDD in the USA, Europe or Asia that can detect the Escort 9500ci radar detector. It is electronically invisible, and when installed behind your bumper or grille, it is also physically invisible.
ZR4 Laser Shifters jam
ZR4 Laser Shifters jam all laser guns, including the Stalker LZ1 laser gun and Laser Atlanta and Laser Atlanta Stealth mode. We tested the ZR4 Laser Jammer at Speed Measurement Labs in June 2008. Based on test results, Escort did it right with this new laser shifter.
Over the Hill hidden
Over the Hill hidden radar traps are detected by the Passport 9500ci remote before you get to the top of the hill. The Escort 9500ci is outstanding.
K band and Ka
K band and Ka band POP3 Rader detection performance is extremely good.
