I actually just gave my x50 away and picked up the 9500i :), thing tells me speed I am going, lets me set locations ect... oh and yea the 8500 is a nice radar detector... did me good for a year or so. Congratz on the pick-up


8500 (X50) is $302 now

blue LED is like $40 more (vs the standard red)

I was on the wall between the x50 and the 9500, but after reading about the 9500 online I decided to just stick with the x50. I've heard bad things about the satellite on it, and figured I don't need to be blocking out signals anyway. Having GPS speed would have been really nice though.

yeah i got the same radar detector. heh, it was like the 3rd thing i got when i started driving my supra.
thing is, as good as it's reviewed to be, and as good as it probably is, i just dont trust it. hell if i had one of them valentine systems, i wouldn't even trust it.
heh, i drive slow anyways.
im just scared of them coppers i guess.

Cool! On my parts car I acquired with my other surpa I found one of these mounted behind the front grille. I havent taken it out yet to see the brand. The display is mounted above the steering wheel. Maybe its a good one like yours!

sorry to rob the thread but whats the best radar to buy i saw one for like 1500 it was a rx65 plus but is there anything better?
The reason the one you saw is 1500 dollars is because it is completely concealed, like my laser shifter is. That includes the radar detector, and the laster shifter. I BELIEVE that includes install from a professional shop. (Don't quote me)


I would have gotten that, but I did not want my radar detector to be on this vehicle only, I wanted to be able to move it.


In my opinion, the best around is the Passport x50.... I wonder why I chose to buy that one..... ;)

You can not go wrong with the x-50, ive litterally seen about 5 people pulled over in front over me with this unit. I had a rx-65 in the car for a few weeks, the only difference in performance is the rear antenna is stronger on the bel, but there both essentially the same. Im interested in how that laser blocker performs, as i understand its PnP with the escort. Also for best results leave the POP detection off ;)

Of course, I will put the disclaimer in here that it is just a tool. If you don't use it properly and react very quickly to it, it still won't do jack for you.

Damn nice!!!! :D

We aren't allowed detectors here... Cops have technology to detect pretty much all detectors manufactured, and if you're caught, you get a huge ass-raping :(

There is a new beltronics detector that is imune to all detector detectors, including spectre. :)
