A new addition to our GPS radar detector series is the Escort Passport 9500i. This $450 radar detector has some unique features. The True-Lock Signal Rejection remembers the location of those ‘false-alarm causing’ door openers and motion sensors, including its exact frequency, so next time when you drive by that strip mall it won’t bug you. However it is small smart enough to detect the police car that may have parked there the next day.

Another feature that helps eliminate false alerts is the variable speed sensitivity that will turn off the sensitivity when you are at parking lot speeds or at a stop light. Smart eh?

Escort Passport 9500i also lets you mark down locations of known traps:

The PASSPORT 9500i’s “Mark Location” feature allows you to quickly store a specific location in memory. Simply tap the “Mark” button a couple of times and the 9500i will store this location in memory. The next time you approach this area, the PASSPORT 9500i will provide an alert well in advanced to remind you of the potential danger. This specific location reminder could keep you from being ambushed by instant-on radar or laser the next time you approach.

Also it is capable of adjusting the volume based on the ambient noise. These are all nice features. But with a $450 price tag it’ll have to save you from getting about three speeding tickets. Not for all of us but definetely a nice GPS radar detector. via
