I'll be adjusting the mounting location and settings over the next few days... I'm confident I will find a combination of adjustments that will work well. If the Max really does combine the features of the 9500 with the range of the Redline, it should be a winner. I'm looking forward to driving past locations of known false alarms that my previous detector alerted on to see how the Max handles them.

I have my 9500ix mounted left of the mirror (hardwired) and it helps view the display quickly at a glance w/out making it difficult.
Where are you in Ohio BTW?
Let us know how long-term works out...I may want to upgrade and run a MAX in the E82 for DD and keep the 9500ix for the E86
