Default Escort Passport 9500ci Post-Installation Video Review

I am really pleased that both of you guys enjoyed it!

TSi+WRX, like you, I'm always thinking on ways to improve performance...and I am finding that extremely low-mounting is working super well for me. One of the lead Escort engineers found no mounting issues by having the radar antenna mounted behind my plastic bumper.

I also like the fact that this very expensive and sensitive radar receiver is protected from the direct external elements in that location.

About the "aftermarket" stuff, did you notice the Cheetah GPS Mirror, I have found that in this particular car, that I prefer the wide field of view that it provides (especially to the either side of the vehicle).

With respect to the Nuvi 360, GPS unit, which has loaded on it custom POIs (red light cameras and speed cameras) of photo enforcement locations, this small unit is something that I take from car to car. I guess I would could hardwire for this particular car which is the primary one I use and then use the portable cables for rentals, etc.

BTW, my wife and I just purchased a new 2009 Subaru Legacy sedan which has the new Harmon-Kardon premium sound system with an auxilary hook-up for iPods and I have hooked up my iPhone to it streaming audio via the data/internet service using Apps like Pandora, Last.fm, Slacker. The quality of the sound, especially from Pardora is simply incredible! No commercials and hours of endless music be selected by genre. Who needs Sirius or XM when you have that capability.

We had owned a 2003 Subaru Legacy GT sedan, but that had an unfortunate history serious mechanical issues. We're hoping our 2009 model will fair better in the long-term in that department.
