Default Passport 9500ci

Any experience with the Passport 9500ci radar/laser detector?
thinking of installing it.
And has anyone been laser targeted by a cop in a MOVING car?

valentine is not a laser jammer, like the escort 9500 ci (custom installed radar and laser defense). As a radar detector, it's relatively old and new reviews do not show it's superior.

I'm with Reggie. I have a V1 in both my cars and remote V1's in both motorcycles. I've had a dozen other detectors, but can't do without the Arrows. For laser I have three Lidatek LE-30's. Yes, they really do work, and work well. Never have unprotected speed!

My friend has a high end performance shop and has pretty much did away with V1's and has been installing the Passport and swears by it.

Here is the deal...some of the other radar dectors out there may have *some* better features but NONE of them can be upgraded like the V1.

I own 4 V1's. Best $400.00 investment you can make.

We install them in highline vehicles. I sold a pair to one of my customers.
Continental GT & Jaguar XKR installs.

I had the GT for a few extra days to get some more stuff installed, and with my customers permission we tested it with a very accurate local law enforcement Laser gun. With the shifters activated, they could not get an accurate reading of my speed regardless of how many times they targeted. Yes, the operator was 1 of 5 trained in the traffic division of the county to use it.

Laser is used with the gun standing still.

Radar can be targeted while the law enforcement vehicle is moving.

Default mode on the 9500ci Laser shifters are set to OFF. Make sure to have them turned on in the preferences.
