New! Passport 9500ci Radar Interfaces

We just finished building a whole new set of interfaces for the amazing passport 9500ci integrated radar system. For those of you that arent familiar with the 9500ci, it is an installed radar/laser system that is really the new standard. It has all the the stuff you would expect for radar plus front and rear laser jammers, GPS for location marking/filtering and redlight/speed camera detection and warning and a truly amazing interface.

Our new 9500C series interfaces allow the 9500 to be completely integrated into your mercedes. The instrument cluster becomes the display for a complete stealth install. display can be turned on/off and the cluster shows all warnings, menus, and even provides enhanced readable displays. Also the steering wheel buttons are integrated to provide control of volume, sensitivity, muting, and location marking. The 9500c interface is completely plug-and-play, including power connections.

here are some demo videos:

Demo on the W221/W216

Demo on the ML/GL/R

Right now we have them shipping for 2006-present ML/GL/R as well as 2009 E and CLS. The W221/W216 version (for 2007-present S and CL) will be shipping next week. W204/W212 (2008+ C, GLK and 2010 E) will be shipping in 2 weeks.

Once again, this product is another industry first and only available from Midcity Engineering

Hey rob - don't forget those of us with R171's, I'd love to be able to remove my custom cup-holder. Also, are you writing to the Audio mode display only?

Awesome work as usual!

not to worry... we will be supporting the SLK as well.... and yes the interface writes to the audio mode display specifically.

What about W209 models, specifically 2005 CLK?

Also when you say it writes to audio section, will I have a problem using your interface in my vehicle which has an aftermarket audio system?

I thought you said in the previous post that you have the factory with the bandaid system? it still is a factory system, not aftermarket

This is somewhat accurate (all except the "bandaid"). I am considering replacing the head unit with Kenwood 9140 but I have questions if you don't mind. Either provide useful information or bud out.

Rob, very nice, went well I am sure they will enjoy it. BTW on the drive it works as advertised. Get Eric on making a nice manual though, like the size of a business card as a cheat sheet for operation like the 9500ci's

very nice!

:-) Get me one for a '171 and I'll write the cheat sheet! :-)

Seriously, can't wait for this one - I was very happy with my cup-holder until I saw your new toy.

It's top down season, so that's not hard to believe at all! Went out and burned a few gallons this weekend, and I still have a smile on my face.
