Picking up A Escort Passport 9500ix this weekend.

All in all, it will cost me about $290 instead of the $500 because i have $210 in Best Buy Reward Zone Points.

I think that's a awesome deal, i really wanted the Valentine 1 and still couldn't figure out which to get but Since i can get a awesome deal on the 9500ix, I will def be getting it!

Anyone have any tips or suggestions, Please feel free to leave them below!

the 9500IX is by far the best radar out there....I have had it for the past 3 years and it warns me way ahead of time.

Get the Blend Mount. That's what I have on mine. They're a vendor/sponsor on CL.

nice pick bro I have one 9500IX too and love it, it less false alert than V1 I personally don't like the radar mount on the rear view mirror due to it weight of the radar and make the mirror more shake when I play music loud ( I had one, and took it off) I came up with the ebay one mount on the windshield and mount behind the rear view mirror, so cops from behind can't see it
here pics


here from behind which it hide away from cops, and it is still pick up signal from behind

Might want to research to see if your state still uses RADAR or if they've switched over to LIDAR (laser). If they are using laser, your passport is only useful for mobile radar units built in the police cruiser, otherwise useless for speed traps. Here in Canada, most of the provinces and the RCMP are using LIDAR.

$89 for the mount. $29 for the wire to tap into the mirror. Great quality and it isn't gonna fall or move ever!

You mean $210 in Best Buy Reward zone certificates, not 210 in Best Buy Reward Zone points, right? Either way, make sure you get them to price match!

Yea, i will probably pick up blendmount once i can afford it.. Broke college student lol
but i hope it's worth the $500 that i am still spending.. It's either the radar or Beats By Dre, Studio headphones.
