Happens all the time...
I'll be driving along, coming up on some minivan in the right lane, and my detector will go off with one of the lesser bands (K/X). It will be a light signal, maybe 1 bar, up until I get next to the car, then it goes to 2. After I pass them it goes away, so I just mute it while I'm passing them.
The 2 good things about the 9500ci I have, (and I believe the 9500ix has the same features), is that it has 3 modes, AUTO, AUTO NO X, HIGHWAY. The AUTO NO X mode turns off the X band part of detection so you won't get these "false" signals.
The other good thing is that even if one of these is going off, and it detects a Ka band, it will show the more police oriented Ka band. Not the "first detected, first shown" idea of some detectors I've seen.
