Escort 9500ci Install – Part Two

This morning RacerX from the RadarDetector.net forum came over and I installed the 9500ci radar detector into my Ford F-250 Harley Davidson Edition pickup while RacerX videotaped the process.
I begin this online video by reviewing all of the accessories that are included with the Escort 9500ci remote mounted radar detector and then start the install by installing the Escort Shifter ZR4 laser jammer heads.
I then install the radar detector antenna on top of the radiator shield and then demonstrate running the various cables through the firewall.
Next I install the 9500ci interface under the dash, plug in the various accessories and install the controller, the display, amplified speaker and the GPS antenna.
I tie off all the cables, apply power to the interface and turn on the ignition and the Escort’s new remote mounted radar detector comes to life.
We tape the ramp up of the detector by shooting a K band radar signal to the unit and then we head out to my private airstrip and perform test the laser jamming capabilities of the unit.
Initially I was very hesitant to perform laser jamming testing with my truck because of the size of the front grill area, but we had jam to gun with the LTI 100 and had only 45’ of punch through with the Pro Laser III. However the deadly Stalker ate my truck for lunch and that was the only laser gun we had any difficulties with.
Off camera I did testing with the Spectre III and the 9500ci was completely stealth, immune to detection.
Over the next couple weeks I will be doing additional testing with the 9500ci and videotaping and posting the results here on RadarRoy.com.
