ESCORT Radar's laser answer: the Passport 9500ci Custom Installed Radar/Laser Detector

ESCORT believes there is a unique and close interaction between the world class vehicles manufactured by Corvette and our best in class radar and laser detectors.

Performance vehicles are often unfairly targeted for speeding and need world class protection. By working with the National Corvette Owners Association, we are able to directly benefit the car owners where it counts most - in their Corvette vehicles.

This artificial intelligence makes the PASSPORT 9500ci the most accurate detector on the road. You drive - it learns - end of story.

PASSPORT 9500ci

In mid-2008 ESCORT made the custom-installed PASSPORT 9500ci available to Corvette Club members. The PASSPORT 9500ci reinforces ESCORT's unrelenting radar and laser detector dominance by incorporating GPS-Powered speed and location intelligence. The 9500ci is the world's only custom installed radar and laser defense system to possess this advanced technology.

The 9500ci operates as a complete radar and laser defense system yet is completely discreet - it can't be seen due to its integrated installation. Its blue LED full-text display provides instant visual threat info while a separate controller allows easy operation - separation of the display and controller yields great flexibility for the installation and maintains the aesthetic beauty of the owner's vehicle. The 9500ci also ups the ante by incorporating a new dual antenna and high-efficient LNA receiver, providing the industry's best long-range warning against all radar guns. The receiver is also completely undetectable to all known scanning devices, making the 9500ci the stealthiest custom-installed detector in the world.

Laser protection is accomplished by multiple sensors mounted front and rear of the vehicle. These sensors are able to measure minute fragments of light produced by laser guns and provide superior laser detection. The 9500ci laser sensors also have "Shifting" capability, which significantly reduces the possibility that the driver will be stopped due to being targeted by laser guns.

The 9500ci also breaks new ground by building upon ESCORT's patented TrueLock™ feature, which uses GPS technology to eliminate false alerts by indexing their exact location and frequency. And the new AutoLearn™ feature automatically analyzes all incoming signals and automatically eliminates false signals. "This artificial intelligence makes the PASSPORT 9500ci the most accurate detector on the road. You drive - it learns - end of story." said Tim Coomer, Escort's Vice President of Product Development.

The 9500ci also addresses the single fastest growing threat drivers face today - the increasing numbers of fixed position speed and red light cameras. The 9500ci is prepared to meet this expanding new threat by incorporating a North American safety camera location database, which alerts the driver prior to approaching. The 9500ci safety camera database can also be updated via ESCORT's website.
