Rocky Mountain Radar makes several devices it claims confuse laser; every reputable test ever done says they are useless, but I have never seen any independednt tests of the 9500ci. Escort is a lot more credible than RMR, bit I still wouldn't pay that kind of money unless I had a lot of evidence that the outlay was justified. Here in Calgary, police laser has pretty much taken over from radar. One way to avoid tickets is to slow down. But let's be realistic here...
Yes. absolutely. Drive within speed limit=no tickets.
But...we have a need for speed from x2x...
Haven't had much personal xperience w/it on the interste.
I had it installed bcause mine is vermillion red, very noticeable.
I'll get my Carrera4s friend to confirm his xact xperience when he gets back from germany.
The headsup display/speed alert alarm on idrive can be quite effective in raising urawareness of speed, because the scenery out the window& the car's capabilities can be hypnotic.
