For me 9500i is the only way to go. V1 sucks because it's using older technology (GPS-wise)

It has GPS technology so you essentially eliminate all false alarms. When you drive by a location and it beeps because of doors etc you press a button and it saves the location so the next time you go through that location it realizes that its a false alarm and it won't sound. However, if there is a cop at that location, it realizes that there is a different band and it will sound.

I used my friend's 9500 for about a month and it was really weird driving around without the false alarms going off. It saved me a few times!

It's the same technology except Laser Pro Park uses a much more power diode and outperform ZR4 and 9500ci. Plus... Laser Pro Park is a parking sensor... so how illegal can it get... lol

Cops don't know the diff, so if you're busted with it, the end result will be the same UNLESS you take it to court and explain the technicalities and some solid proof.

I install myself on my honda too. I used wireless kit for my LPP, way easier. took me 1.5 hour tho

v1 is a tool, a very good, if not the best tool. but it will not be a god send.

i've had mine for years, was an easy hard wire, is stealth and has saved my butt numerous times - but i've still had a ticket with it (which i didn't pay a penny on) - but it has certainly paid for itself many times over

no i drive an infiniti.

I'm interested in the LPP system however don't want to get the wireless kit as its too expensive. How much would labour run me for a single head LPP?

I know a friend who went to this shop (on Imperial) in Burnaby for LPP installation on his Tundra for about $130. Send me a PM. Maybe I can call him for a contact number.

guys. need some advice. If i'm only going to run 1 detector/shifter. should i go with an escort 9500i or the LPP. I may eventually get both but which would u guys suggest if I'm only going to run 1 system?

if those are the only options...9500i for now and get the LPP afterwards..

just remember even with radar detectors, jammers, etc. there is no guarantee (trust me I've had them all...) a good lawyer is a better solution ;)

^^might as well just keep a lawyer in the glovebox at all times

"500ci which is a detector and shifter in one.
They are technically legal in BC, hence why we're allowed to sell them in BC. Jamming is taking a signal and scrambling it, which is messing with goverment tools/signals,etc."

Actually you should do a short google of "obstruction" under the Criminal Code of Canada. If this device obstructs the Police in the lawful execution of their duties ( and if it doesn't then why are you selling them?) then you can be charged. As a seller of the divices you could also be considered "aiding" the user.

Offences relating to public or peace officer
129. Every one who
(a) resists or wilfully obstructs a public officer or peace officer in the execution of his duty or any person lawfully acting in aid of such an officer,
(b) omits, without reasonable excuse, to assist a public officer or peace officer in the execution of his duty in arresting a person or in preserving the peace, after having reasonable notice that he is required to do so, or
(c) resists or wilfully obstructs any person in the lawful execution of a process against lands or goods or in making a lawful distress or seizure,
is guilty of
(d) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or
(e) an offence punishable on summary conviction.
