Custom installed passport 9500ci radar detector and laser jammer

batman75 · 09-13-09, 02:16 PM

I recently got a passport 9500ci custom installed in the GS. It integrates really nicely and works great. The system has radar detection (as sensitive as a V1 based on my tests), laser jamming (effective combined with Veil), and uses a hidden GPS sensor to provide you warnings for traffic cameras and blockout falses. It also has a voice module, so the alerts can be heard as announcements, e.g. "Ka band detected"

Radar antenna (center of lower air dam) and front laser jammers (corners of lower air dam)

Rear laser jammer is at top of license plate frame, I just replaced the chrome screw covers with black ones for an all black look (not shown).

Display in mirror to indicate warnings, signal strength and programming menus

Green LED above the speedometer (it is dead centered but camera angle makes it look off). This indicates the system is on. It flashes red when laser or radar is detected. Provides line of sight warning so you don't need to look in mirror. Great when combined with audio warnings and announcements.

Coin compartment contains the controller

Coin compartment folds away as normal

wow! hope Passport pays for any and all tickets that you may still get for the life of the product. Are laser jammers legal?

that install looks great though...very professional and discrete.

Yes jammers are legal in Florida and in most states. The only exceptions are Nebraska, Minnesota, Utah, California, Oklahoma, Virginia, Colorado, Illinois and Washington DC.

Passport doesn't pay for tickets. K40 does, but from all I have read, I don't think they're product is anywhere near as effective as this one.

Very impressive setup but way more than I would pay for detectors.

Yea this is much nicer then my Custom mirror. I am just using a V1 with the mirror. This is to the next level. Who did your mirror? I assume its your OEM custom made? That is what I had done for my V1. I like it but mine displays the arrows on the mirror nothing on the dash.

Nicely done:thumbup"

It was done by the installer, Technicar in West Palm Beach. They took the existing OEM mirror, dismantled it, and then inserted the Passport display inside the mirror and put it back together. All the original mirror features still work perfectly (i.e. homelink, compass, and automatic dimming).

awsome set up, but man still be carfull i had a k40 set up just like that it honestly did not help me out with my speeding at all

Very nice clean setup. My friend was driving around with a laser jammer passing a highpatrol at maybe 75 in a 65 zone. Officer couldn't detect his speed still pulled him over told him i know u got a laser jammer. You have 2 options rip out the wires in front of me and ill let you go or i am towing you're car and having it checked at the police mechanic station for it. So honestly it is not legal you are basiclly taking money from the government because if everyone does this then who is gonna pay the high patrol and state troopers?

Yes these tools are never foolproof because they only pick up radar or laser, and only jam laser. And also laser jammers aren't 100% effective - they buy you time to react. You always have some exposure to instant-on or pacing. That said the K40 was also offered by my Lexus dealer, but the reviews suggest it doesn't work that well. See this article...
