For those who own one of these units. Does the GPS memory (for false alerts that you have set) reset after a certain amount of time if the power is taken from the radar detector (i.e. the accessory cigarette lighter plug or hardwired to an accessory wire/fuse).

I plan on hard wiring my new 9500i, but before I did I wanted to check with other members about using the accessory turn on/off for power and if it will affect my settings for false alerts I have marked.

I have my ix hardwired and haven't lost any of the saved locations yet.

I have the "I" and the same thing. It turns on everytime I start the car (or off conversely) and it stores all of the codes just fine.

I'm assuming that it has some sort of flash memory to store the loc/freq as that would be significantly cheaper than a battery back up. This being said, I cannot confirm whether or not it would lose the stored codes after an extended time off (1 month, etc.)

As an aside I really like my 9500. I had the 7500 and 8500 before and this one is much better all around imho.

Thanks Guys, that was the info I needed. I also have a 7500, which I bought back in college. I was using it until yesterday when I upgraded to the 9500i. I plan to use the 7500 in another car, it works great, but I wanted the ability to silence "known" false alerts permanently

9500i ftw !! saved my ass many many times

Just got my 2nd "Camara Ticket" today, I need the ix...

Maybe next month. :cool:

the V1 is better boyss cmon, arrowwsssss, you know whether to speed the hell up or slow way down and where to look and/or tune hehe, come on now, Dr. V did something revolutionary imo, either way IX is sick tho, GPA and all, win win i guess ,pays for themselves over and over again ;)

It never fails. If an Escort Radar detector is mentioned there is always a comment about the V.

I am sure the V is nice, but I like the false alert blockout feature which I why I bought the Escort. Now if the V wants to get with the times and add some new features it might be the dominant player again.

Too each their own. I just think it is funny that the V came up in this post when it was specifically about GPS (something the V does not offer)

The V also doesn't offer a model that is updatable for red light cameras and speed traps, in addition to the GPS.

I have a 9500i and a 9500ix hard-wired in two different cars. Both retain marked signals.
