When you get one, In the city K band and X band are 99% nothing and if you get hit with a Ka band or a Laser, Slam on the brakes. Ka is ALWAYS Radar, And laser sort of speaks for itself.

ah my bad. didn't know that thanks

GPS function of the 9500ix is useless.
I've used both the 9500ix & x50 along with pretty much every radar detector sold locally.

I disagree with this.
The first week I blocked out a bunch of false signals, and haven't heard them since. I've had my 9500 for 2 years now too, so if it was going to fuck up, it would have already.

I saved my self $400+ by turning of K & X band on my x50 which are the only false alerts you would receive here.

I have the 9500ix also and the GPS works great. It blocks out the false signals and if it reads the same false signal 3 times it stores it.

In White Rock, they install a X band radar that displays your speed and after driving by it 3 times, it stored it. It also notifies me when there is a red light or speed cameras in intersections.

I have used many detectors and the 9500ix is one of the best.

As much as I'd like to turn off K band. Theres still a few times in the past that I've been blasted with IO K band by Richmond RCMP along Russ Baker way. K band is very real but very seldom used...Also american cops love to shoot K while driving along I5. But yes I agree, for the most part K is useless in BC.
