9500i - gps enabled - silence is golden
was going to get the v1, but after seeing the 9500i I figured I would give it a try.
Freaking awesome. Being able to permanently mute a 'false alarm' due to a door opener or etc is the best thing in radar in a long time. Plus being able to mark a location of a hot spot for radar traps, etc is great. Check out <a href="http://www.escortradar.com/truelockvideo.htm">this video </a>
Going from home to work (or other regular stops) in TOTAL silence, cept for the occasional ACTUAL radar trap, is awesome!

They have a new version that you can download red light camera locations as well as other traps (9500ix) from their website. I don't have this verson.
Nice piece. Plus they have a trade in program to get some coin off the price of the unit.

How does it sort through a 'door' and an actual radar?>
if a cop is standing RIGHT next to the door and the door sensor?
or, say the door sensor is OFF and the cop is standing there?
I know thats a VERY LARGE 'what if' but still...
I guess i'll take my share of false alarms/arrows to know i have piece of mind

It stores the GPS location for the signal and stores the actual frequency
Although fast food places and radar guns both trip K-band warnings they don't transmit on the exact same frequency. If you lock out the fast food joint and a cop shows up there running a speed trap it'll still warn about the cop.

Second, have had one for about a year and it's been fantastic.
Anytime I drive out of my normal area I'm amazed at how many false signals there are, completely forgot that I used to get that many hits with the 8500.
