Im a raving fan of the Escort 9500ci...
Im on my second C63. Picked up current car last summer. With the new car I had the 9500ci installed with the laser shifters in front. At first, I was apprehensive. It was going off all the time, way too sensitive. After about two-three months, all the false signals were memorized and silenced. It is incredibly sensitive. Sometimes when it goes off I am convinced its a false alarm only to see a cruiser a half mile down the road. I am pretty sure the radar has saved my butt twice. I have not yet been shot with a laser, so I am interested to see what that will be like. But all in all, its a fantastic system.

I'm on my second one (first was in my E55) and it has been a life-saver....although I dont want to curse myself...Only time I have been hit was when I had the music too loud, cop pulled me over doing 95 on the 73 north in Orange County, I explained I was speeding and used the cruise control, and he said he appreciated my honesty and said "Have a good night."

I have been using Escort brand since they were Cincinnati Microwave and my 9500 ci has saved my butt countless times. I am now at 22 years ticket free and believe me it's not for lack of trying.

Does the 9500 remember only stationary false alarms?
When my Valentine goes off, I first look for an Audi, Infiniti or Lexus before I think cop. These new Audis drive it crazy! I guess it is their parking assist.

I have the same 9500ci and it is absolutely awesome. I have a Valentine in my other vehicle and the memory and satellite function are amazing. If they could add the arrows of the Valentine, then I would be in heaven.
