Escort Passport 9500ci Radar Detector
Best discreet protection for drivers prioritizing advanced awareness.
The Escort Passport 9500ci is a premier remote-mounted radar detector, offering an unparalleled combination of extreme range, advanced detection capabilities, and discreet installation. It features an internal GPS system that provides timely alerts for fixed photo enforcement cameras and potential speed traps, enhancing driver awareness. The integrated Laser ShifterPro system offers robust defense against police lidar. The Passport 9500ci excels in sensitivity and filtering, utilizing GPS to automatically adjust its sensitivity to highway or city driving conditions. Its AutoLearn technology and TSR Filtering effectively combat false alerts from sources like automatic door openers and traffic flow sensors. Designed for stealth, it is undetectable by Spectre radar detector detectors (RDDs). Clear digital voice alerts provide crucial information without requiring the driver to divert their eyes from the road. The detector is also Escort Live compatible, allowing users to share real-time alerts with a community of other users.

Know before you buy
Unlike portable units that suction to your windshield, the 9500ci is a custom-installed system. Its components are hidden behind your vehicle's grille and dashboard, providing a clean, factory-look installation that is discreet and out of sight.
The 9500ci uses built-in GPS to identify and 'learn' the location of stationary false signals, such as automatic door openers at grocery stores. Once it encounters the same signal three times, it automatically locks it out so you aren't bothered by the same false alarm in the future.
While the radar detection portion is legal in most areas, laser shifting or jamming technology is restricted or prohibited in several states. We recommend checking your local and state laws regarding laser defense systems before installation.
Yes. The system includes a USB port that allows you to connect the unit to your computer. You can then download the latest updates from the Defender Database to ensure your detector has the most current information on fixed speed and red-light cameras.
The 9500ci is compatible with Escort Live, which provides real-time community alerts. While the base radar and GPS features function independently, accessing the full community-based alert sharing network typically requires a subscription and a connection to the Escort Live app.
No. The Passport 9500ci is designed to be completely invisible to Spectre radar detector detectors, making it a secure choice for drivers in areas where radar detector use is restricted.
