Escort 9500i GPS function
I now have a RD installed to the left and above the mirror like in the DIY post,
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6380 Actually, I have it slightly lower, where it is almost touching the mirror. I like this location as it seems to be going under the tint band and is out of the way. I'm considering a 9500i and I am wondering, will the 9500i's GPS receive signals in this location? Has anyone tried using a 9500i in this location with any luck? |

Well, I don't have one (yet) but since you haven't gotten any replies to your question, I will give you some second-hand info. I have read that the GPS functions fine, though it may take a few minutes longer to get a satellite lock. It is where I currently run my RD and where I plan to hang the 9500i.
Check out www.radardetector.net for detailed discussions of everything radar detector-related. Much discussion of placement. Cheers.

That is exactly where mine is mounted, but on the passenger side hot wired into the sunroof. It works great with GPS and radar still. I love the digital speedo right there, as I look in the mirror I always notice it too.
Here is a couple of bad lighted install install pics that show the bracket and it next to the mirror, I will take a better pic how it looks now later. (also that is a smudge on the mirror, not a scratch. Plus that Pamperchef spat worked awesome....hope the wife never sees that pic...hahaha!!!)

+1 Yeah, that does it for me. Plus the detailed discussions on www.radardetector.net. It would take a year to ready everything discussed there, but I read enough to answer my concerns. Thanks.
