I had it 40 days, came out one morning and the case had split open exposing the electronics and I could not push any of the buttons. I tried to exchange it at best buy but was told it was past the 30 days and had to send back to escort. Escort said 4-6 weeks to get returned to me.

It was little expensive but I think it's worted.everything works without any issues and correctly so I'm fully satisfied with this purchase and I'll recommend to everyone who looking for similar products and its willing to spend extra money.

This is a VERY expensive Radar Detector, so it should be perfect, right? Not the case.... This unit FELL APART while driving. Escort is going to fix, but I will be without my radar detector for 5 days. Additionally, this unit fails on a regular basis. It will get STUCK on a detection (Ka, K, Laser) bands and needs a reset to fix. Save yourself some trouble and buy a less expensive version. The App isn't that great either...

My new vehicle came with built in navigation so the Escort iQ GPS and detector combo will move to another vehicle. The Escort MAX2 was purchased for this new vehicle. Having previously also owned the 9500iX I know the value of having a built in GPS in the detector to lock out false alerts that one would drive by each day. The MAX2 is great in detection and has the ability to change the color of the HD display to match your vehicles gauge and dash scheme. It comes with bluetooth and by downloading the escort App (which is free) you have Escort Live running which your phone app will load the actual road or highway speed limit onto the detector screen where you can set it to alert you if you exceed the limit by say 5 MPH. In addition, the phone app running in unison will display current live radar sightings on your route, known speed-traps and such. The MAX2 reviews on pro sites shows that it has better sensitivity and reaction than most others with only the Redline version having a slightly higher performance rating. If you are contemplating a radar detector purchase, I would first recommend the MAX2 and also using the free Apple or Android Live Escort APP alongside it. The 9500iX is capable but with a relatively small price difference, the MAX2 is a better value. Best Buy matched the pricing I was able to get from a online competitor which made the value that much more and allowed me to purchase locally.

I like the display and features it gives in tandem with the online notifications when connected with your smartphone via Bluetooth. It does pretty much what advertisements on box and display. I like it but, a bit pricey.
