Escort 9500ci. Does it do its job? I guess I'll never know but I'm convinced it's the best purchase I've ever made, just for the 7 beeps it makes when you start the car. Feels like I'm starting up a battle cruiser.

Got some free time? Use the search button and read until your hearts content, but in a day or two after you finish reading all the threads on this topic, you will still have no idea what to buy, because all it ever does is turn into a Radar detector war thread. So to avoid it yet again, thread reported.......

Regardless, no radar detector really does what you think it does, or what you'd like it to. It's a good secondary countermeasure but your best defense will always be situation awareness. After all, you won't detect them if they're not using their guns and most of the police officers I've talked to tell me they rarely do. They use their eyes and their so-called 'relative object speed training.'

I just use mine backwards. When it's not going off, something's fishy.
