Here are some of my videos of radar encounters with the 9500ci. You can see there is plenty of warning. I also run a V1 and you can see that the ci alerts first every time.

Damn C4, you are a Speed Trap Hunter!

One of my personal favorites!

Great videos, I love the music too. Great stuff!

The 9500ci really is incredible (not to take anything from the V1). Steve and I have had similar experiences but he is betting me that his recently tuned V1 will give the 9500ci a run for its money.

Can't hardly wait!

I've got another V1 being delivered Monday. I don't think it will be able to beat the ci but it is the best windshield mount detector out there.

Thanks for the kind words about the videos, glad you both enjoyed them.

Guys, Thanks very much. In the space of a few posts I've realized I'm far out of my league, technically speaking. So . . . Re: Veil Guy's advice, I bought a Passport 9500xi today, but will also take delivery of a new V1 on Monday or Tuesday. So maybe I will use them in tandem after reading VG's account of doing the same -- all in concert with the Lexus installed K 40 which, judging from an evening driving around with both on, is not as responsive as the Passport. (That plus I was stopped twice on Florida's Alligator Alley -- never happened using my old V1) My original intent was to replace the K40 with the custom installed 9500c1, but two failed appointments and a call to Mark at K40 changed everything. I'm glad I found this site. I just hope the darn laser scramblers on the K 40 actually work. The rest of the system was a huge (and expensive) disappointment. Thanks. Randy W.

The only way yo know for sure is to actually test them against a lidar gun. If you are ever in the Atlanta area let me know, I have a couple laser guns we can test them against.
