So you like yours then? I have had mine for about 3 days. I had an older 8500 for almost 10 years and that thing has saved me SO many times. I haven't had a chance to test the 9500 on the highway yet... but are you impressed with the range? I was debating the Redline instead, but I drive mostly city, so the false alerts would KILL me. Plus no GPS/no camera detection. Any other negatives for the 9500 in your opinion?

Ahhh... yours is diff't from mine/ours. Yours is the GT version right? The shape is more circular/oval, and has a set screw up top right? The one I have is the regular Nismo Ti knob... shaped like a cylinder. Direct screw-on. I love mine as well. I call it the "Nismo Ti Knob" hehe

Hey happy... yes, the 9500 has a built in database with all "known" red light/speed trap cameras in North America. It will warn you within how many thousand/hundred feet before approaching. Way cool. Of course, there are cameras that keep popping up and getting installed by cities trying to earn more revenue (boooo...), so the 9500 has a feature that you can "mark" the locations and label it as Speedtrap or Redlight or Other, etc. Then it's permanently stored, unless you unmark it.

You can then upload that location into the Escort database to help out other Escort users You can then download the latest updates as often as you like. Free for 90 days, then after that 20 bucks for 1 year.... not bad.
