Default Escort 9500xi issues ?

My Escort 9500xi has failed...... again. This is the second in 4 months. The power cord must have some sort of defect, as that has been the issue with both units.

Has anyone else experienced this? When the cord is plugged in, it flashes the indicator lightes once, then nothing. The unit itself never powers up.

Guess I'd better find my receipt and read the warrenty.

I also have an escort 9500xi and never had any problems with the cord. Had it for 3 months

The chances of you having two units with defective cords is lottery odds numbers....

I have a 9500ix with no issues at all...have had it since October of 2008....just the most early warning I have ever had using a radar detector....

9500ix here, I've had no issues but then I use the invisi cord connected to the mirror for power.

Same here. Invisicord connected to the mirror and I'm really happy with the setup. No problems. Just did a 1600 mile road trip in 24 hours and the 9500xi was outstanding.

Thanks folks, I appreciate the Invisicord sentiment! EuroRod, if you have any questions about going this route, please pm me or email me.

Regarding the power fluctuations, I have seen cases where there was inconsistent power distribution through accessories like the lighter cord and folks have taken their vehicles in to have the voltage regulation system checked. The lastest occurrence was with an Avalanche.
