Blue Escort Passport 9500I install

[CJR238]

Just got my 1st pictures up of my install. Just wanted to share.

I had a problem with mounting to the dots above RVM so i made a plexi glass cut out and used heavy double sided tape. I figured it looked cleaner and would do the least restriction of the GPS signal. I also have the external amplified speaker plugged into the headphone jack with a special clip to hold the wires out of the way.



I have the 9500I hard wired high to the left of the RVM 1/2 under the tint strip so its pretty stealthy if your not using a flash (the one below is an 8500).




I took apart the hard wire smart cord and drilled 3 holes into a blank switch spot, then covered with a black rubber peace to dim the buttons (they were too bright). It also helped make the mute button more flush. I have a new cover im working on that will have a small kill switch for a blue hard wire smart cord.



This is a view from the other side, you can see the heavy duty wax tape that prevents the 9500I from squeaking against the plexi glass.

nice...do you run both radar detectors together at the same time.... any leakage problem....if no leakage problem good to have both...one down low for the laser protection.

I never run them at the same time, I was doing that for comparison testing (one on, when one off).
I did test running them at the same time and i found the detection range on K & X would be decreased by one or the other, i never got falsing from ether RD, just a decrease in detection range.
My old K40 would always set off my 8500 so I didn’t even test if it affected detection range.

man... I need to do a test then...sometimes I run my bel 980 and the v1 together....never get any leakage as far as alerts...the distance being effected...possibly....never tried a test to see if it effected the range of the v1

Ya it was a surprise to me too. The old K40 would set off RDs running the same time, but I guess with the filtering RD's have now it just suppresses it.
The decrease in range was almost 100ft at times or a second or so.

You got that backwards, remove the V1 from your car.

Obviously i really like my Blue 9500I, now my exterior of my car matches it.
