Hi Guys,

One of our long term storage clients with a 997 Turbo has given us the green light to install the Escort 9500ci Radar/Laser System. My question to you guys is would you like to see what we do with this package as far as the installation goes? We won't be doing your typical stick the controller and display in the easiest place, we did that already in our test vehicle before we offer theses systems as a POG installed packages.

Why did we put the system into our COO's (Paul Burkman) car, the answer is very simple...We needed to make sure for a 100% certainty that this system does everything it is supposed and that it performed up to POG standards. Comparing the 9500ci to our usual radar/laser setup (V1/K40 EX2 or K40 Caliber) meant that the 9500ci had some big shoes to fill. What we really like is that this system is all one package in one box, which gives you everything you need. Here is some info from Escort's site:
------------------------------
The PASSPORT 9500ci is the ultimate custom-installed radar and laser defense system. With blistering all-band radar protection and precise 360 degree laser "shifting" technology, speeding tickets can be a thing of the past. ESCORT continues to lead the industry by incorporating its patented GPS technology that automatically identifies the source and location of all radar signals. Real threats are processed in less than a second, while false signals are learned and eliminated. Now all you have to do is drive! It also comes pre-loaded with thousands of Safety Camera locations, (red light and fixed speed cameras) throughout the U.S. and Canada. and can be updated through ESCORT's web site.
The PASSPORT 9500ci is completely undetectable to all radar detector detectors, keeping you unseen and unnoticed. Crystal-Clear Voice Alerts, Speed Alert™, Safety Warning System and its stealth installation make the PASSPORT 9500ci the ultimate in discreet protection.
The PASSPORT 9500ci comes complete with owner's manual and installation guide, separate miniature controller and text display, front-mounted radar receiver, twin front-mounted laser receivers/shifters, rear license plate mounted laser receiver/shifter, 12-volt interface module, GPS antenna, 12-volt amplified speaker, display bezel, bi-color LED, and all mounting hardware. There is nothing else like it.

The GPS false prevention is fantastic, the more you drive, the better the system gets and combine it with the national database, you can be ahead of the game on a long trip.

Now with all the above being said, who here wants to see what we do with this system?

Happy New Year and 6speed safe motoring in 2009!!!

Thanks for the info and I look forward to seeing the photos.

When the weather warms up and more importantly the snow disappears it would be great to look around.
