Escort 9500ci Radar Detector Laser/Jammer

Detectors are effective if detecting - hopefully before you are seen - Jammers ( I am guessing this was the real question) work when they go off - mine has gone off once in 4 months - it jams for 7 seconds then cuts off - so you have 7 seconds to get it under control - I was maybe 1/8 of a mile when the guy tagged me - if I was blowing 120+ however, I could not hear the warning for either if my top was down - can't hear the radio really either - some Japanese verts are putting speakers in the headrests - not a bad idea.

I have a front/rear K40 with laser front end built into my XK. The front units are mounted in the license plate frame, the inside units (two blue lights and two tone buzzer) are mounted in the dash right in front of the steering wheel. The control unit is bluetooth and I keep it in the center console. I'm not sure where the rear detector is mounted, I forgot to ask but it can't be seen from the back of the car. system works well and K40 will pay for your first citation if you "earn" one within 12 months on installation.

I really wonder how effective detectors are since this is a line-of-sight technology (and counter-technology). It's not like cops sit on a wide open stretch and just sit on the trigger. The cops I see are well placed (dips in sound walls; just over a ridge, etc.), so that I imagine the detector would be too late in warning you.
I'd love to be wrong ...

I'll also be the first to admit I got nailed with an "instant on KA" while running my 9500 , so as stated earlier, the environment is key.

Yeah, that sucks lol. I've had the V1 in my cars for the last 6 years and I think it's saved me twice from laser. I honestly don't see many cops running laser around here though.

He does a very nice clean job.
