Visit to Escort, Inc to Discuss their Flagship Escort Passport 9500ci

Escort Passport 9500ci Installation Review

Examining our Escort Passport 9500ci Installation with Escort, Inc.

In early February 2009, my wife and I speed trap hunted to West Chester, Ohio—a suburb of Cincinnati—to meet with the manufacturer of the benchmark-setting remote Escort Passport 9500ci, nearly a year after I had one of the very first available Escort Passport 9500ci models installed in my personal BMW Dinan 5 series sports-sedan, which also had a fresh application of Veil G4 on its headlights and foglights.

To refer to the Escort Passport 9500ci as simply a remote radar detector, is to not do the unit justice, as the Passport 9500ci not only detects both police radar and police laser, but also alerts to the locations of red-light and speed camera photo enforcement while also being capable of effectively jamming police laser from both the front and the rear. (Escort refers to this latter function as "laser shifting").

During our visit to Escort, the greater Cincinnati area got quite a snow storm which managed to dump about eight inches of the white stuff on the surrounding area and created a helluva mess on the roads as Cincinnati was completely unprepared for it (even the local news missed the severity in their forecast of the storm).

Fortunately for us, we spent most of our time staying warm and indoors at the Escort facility in which Lisa and I were treated to a very special day—courtesy of the fine folks at Escort, Inc.

We both had an opportunity to meet with some of the developers and lead engineers of the Passport 9500ci and had them personally confirm the integrity of our professional installation, which was originally performed by World-Wide Stereo, a high-end custom automotive electronics installer/retailer located in my area of residence in Pennsylvania.

Lisa and I would like to express a heartfelt thanks to everyone at Escort who shared a day with us that we both won't soon forget!
