    Blind and unaware

    A great concept that fails miserably. This detector is like a blind deaf watch dog. The dog would only be aware of a burglar if it gets its tail stepped on. That is the way this detector is. It only goes off when the cop is right on top of you and then this dog of a machine starts yowling like crazy. This isn't due to 'instant-on' radar, as it does the same thing when it approaches store door-openers. It is simply a terrible product.

    Constant rear view mirror k-band alerting. Rattles on windshield, due to mount. Falsed so much on k-band I felt better with the whole darn thing off. Save your money, tap on another 75.00 and go with the solo 4, due to filtering alone.

    I have a 9500ix in another vehicle. No comparison between those two. Battery operation is all I have used and it is really close to the source before it activates as other reviews have stated, but that is the trade off for mobility I guess.

    Good cordless option & Poor battery life

    Battery does not last nearly as long as they advertise. It's great not have the cord running over your dashboard but batteries must be replaced every 4 weeks or so.
