Default Escort 9500ix and Blendmount Package

We love the Escort 9500ix here at Southern Car Parts. Since its release, the Passport 9500ix by Escort has been one of our personal favorite products, and has consistently been amongst our most well-reviewed.



Recently, we added a new product line to our catalog as well: the BlendMount line of radar detector mounts. We've been selling them for a little over a month now, and they're being as well received as the 9500ix. With that in mind, they seemed like a perfect match, so here it is, a BlendMount/Escort 9500ix package deal.



By ordering these items together in this bundle you're getting both of them at less than the MSRP cost of the Escort Passport 9500ix alone, and at $20 less than if you purchased them separately on our already discounted website! What you're getting, at those great prices, is one of the best radar and laser detectors on the market anywhere, and the perfect companion piece for it to give it a great, low-profile, easy installation.

Every single employee here at SouthernCarParts uses the 9500ix, and a lot of us have started moving towards using the BlendMount as well. If that's not a glowing recommendation for these products, I don't know what is!

So, we're happy to offer this new discounted bundle for the Escort 9500ix, BlendMount Corvette Rear View Mirror Radar Detector Mount, BlendMount Mirror Tap, and more!

For more information, and to order the bundle, just visit our website here: Escort 9500ix and BlendMount Radar Detector Complete Package

I have this package on my 08 Z & it fits nice & functions well as opposed to using the suction cup bracket.

How about a blend mount for my 997 I'm tired of that floppy suction cup on that car as well.

The other day I had my car parked at a super market when I was on vacation in Phoenix. Some thief smashed my pass. side window & tried to steal my detector but it was supported so well by the blendmount all he could do is dislodge the mirror from the glass with the detector still attached to it hanging from the wiring. Gave up & managed to steal a cheap pair of sunglasses instead. I was fortunate to get away with just replacing the glass. The only downside to the detector hanging from the mirror exposed is a temptation to thieves.

Sorry for that happening to you. One of the things I can't stand in the world are thieves. Always trying to get something in life for free instead of working for it like everyone else has to

Agree with you.....I always pop it off the Blendmount, or any other mount for that matter when I am going to leave the car in parking lot.

Sorry this happened.

If you have the gamer edition in stock, I am ready to buy this package deal. I changed my mind on the Ebay purchase. How fast can I get this if it is in stock?

arrived to my door in 2 days. I hate to steal a commercial quip but the Blendmount is easy enough to install even a caveman can do it. I feel up to date now. Thanks again Jim. Very happy customer.

Got this figured out around 2 am this morning. Anything you need to know or fix on your Escort product, this will help greatly.

There will most likely not be a sale anytime soon unless Escort authorizes it (which is very rare).

Escort holds there dealers to a strict pricing policy (hence the reason we bundle with other products that we can discount a little so we can offer a lower overall price bundled price) that forces authorized dealers too keep prices at the same price Escort sells them for (same way Apple does and other large manufacturers).

The only way to get Escort products cheaper is to buy them via the auction sites and others where unauthorized dealers get them through unscrupulous methods, stolen via credit card fraud from Authorized dealers (yes, this has happened to me ;( ), refurbs sold as new, 9500i models in 9500ix cases, heck, I have even seen 8500's sold in 9500 cases, etc...You are literally buying at your own risk when you go this route but can certainly get them a lot cheaper. All the Escorts have a unique serial number and ones that are purchased from unauthorized dealers run the risk of being denied any warranty support from Escort.

The only time we can offer a sale is when Escort allows it. In the 5 years we have been an Escort dealer, I have seen this happen twice...And it was not really a sale as far as a price discount, but rather free shipping and then another time a free suction mount.

If you want one, I would just get it (if not from me, any authorized dealer or from Escort themselves) or you will be probably be waiting a long time for the big sale to hit

By the way, we are backorderd on the Race version, but expect more to be available early this month (hopefully this week).

More info here on Unauthorized Escort Dealers. Escort tries to keep the list current but new scammers pop up all the time. If you are buying off an Auction site, you can be guaranteed they are not an Escort dealer as Escort forbids dealers from selling via this method.

Bottom line, if you are getting the Escort Detector from anyone advertising it at a price less than what Escort sells it for, they are not an authorized dealer and if you ever need warranty support you will be literally left in the cold.

Take Care,

Jim

Do you mean the Escort 8500 X50? If so, yes, it is the same Blendmount used for the 9500ix and the 8500. For the C6 it is this one...

Thanks,
