Does this product interfere with the GPS signal of the Escort Passport 9500ix?

I don't have a 9500ix Passport but have had various different mounts for an 8500 Passport and don't see why a radar mount would effect a GPS system, whether it's combined with your radar detector, and indash unit or aftermarket GPS.

Not directly, no. I think. In my car (09 G37), I have definitely lost and re-acquired signals significantly more often after using the blendmount, but I believe it's because it mounts it above my cars nav system and the signals from that mess it up. A few people with the 9500 and the same car have said the same thing, so that leads me to believe its a car-specific issue.

Yes. GPS feature is available if you want to use it and turn it off when you don't want to use it on your recordings.

I do not have the GPS add on on my radio, but when I do have a back up camera hooked up and it still plays music when the back up camera is on. I can even still change the station. So i imagine it would be the same with the GPS running.

no ! it is actually using the signals from the ODBII output. I checkd with a digital analyser to verify that the signals are infact being processed by the Bluetooth interface - and YES threy are.Quite many signals are awailable from the ODBII and the interface is using them all.Now I can only speak for the Lincoln Navigator, but I am sure that any other car with a relative new ODBII interface is doing it correctly.Any questions call me or e-mail me: Henrik@Cyberdyne-inc.dk, 760-931-6545Respectfully,Dr. Henrik de Haas

If you are asking if your GPS voice directions will come through, then yes it definitely will. But it is not an antenna, if you go underground you will lose some GPS signal

I have not encountered that problem. It alerts me a little more than 1/2 mile before turn then keeps me posted every so often until the turn. Wish I could give u more insight.

One concern is that it might interfere with the signal coming out from your wireless USB port.

I don't leave the GPS on on my phone. I'm assuming it does, as the internet works on my phone when in case.

I believe the detector inside the iq is similar to the 9500, but you might want to check escorts website on that. I returned mine as the display was unreadable in the sunlight. The website does state "SmartShield VG2 Immunity", thus it might be what you are looking for. https://www.escortradar.com/iq/

Slip off corner cover, unplug GPS unit from extender box, plug cable to connect GPS unit to extender, replace cover, place GPS unit next to window.It may work without using cable as long as GPS unit is connected to extender box and can get a signal.

It shows that it works for the Escort Max but doesn't mention the Max2. Just guessing I would think the Max & the Max2 used the same type connection. My passport 8500 uses a phone cord type connection isn't that what the Max2 uses to connect to the unit?

I have not used mine that much to date but had no trouble picking up signals. The cab cover may be an issue since it may cause the same effect you get passing under an overpass with satelite radio. I have a travel trailer so I don't have that situation with my truck. Only compllaint is that it could not locate the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas. Had to use Nav on wife's cell app to get directions to casino.

Yes, for the most part. However, I've noticed that it has occasionally been off, mostly overestimating my speed and distance. My other complaint is that it takes a few minutes to locate the gps signal. It also seems that the watch functions better when fully charged.

No it doesn't, plus i cannot understand how a battery can affect the signal reception, so my answer again is No it does not affect signal in any way.

As far as I know, the Escort Live function has no connection with false alarms. If you have the Escort 9500iX, it learns non-police radar signals over time, and locks those out. Of course, if it's the first time that radar detector has driven through a particular route, it doesn't know about false alarm signals. What Escort Live does do for you is link your radar detector to your smart phone (either iPhone or Android - make sure you order the appropriate Escort Live unit to match the phone you have). The link between the phone and the radar detector does two things: 1) it alerts you to the presence of police units that have been noted by other drivers, as well as if the radar was active, it advises you of that fact, and the age of the report (current, 30 minutes ago, an hour ago, etc). If other Escort Live drivers are ahead of you, and your unit receives a report from their system you get a LIVE RADAR alert, as well as distance to the point where the other driver's system detected the radar. 2) Your system provides alerts to the other drivers with Escort Live capability. In busy metro areas, or on interstates, this can be quite helpful. If you are traveling where there is no cell coverage, of course there is no link to the Escort Live server, as your cell phone has no network connection. Keep this in-mind if you acquire this system. I find the system quite valuable, and I occasionally get an alert in areas where I didn't expect another Escort Live driver to have passed through, just because the area is so remote.

they show up constantly blocking a section of map. If i'm trying to find a short cut by getting a view of the streets I might use, the ad blocks my ability to survey the near horizon. and they do come up while I'm moving. funny thing is they didn't show up at all until I downloaded my second firmware update... grrr. I really feel they devalue the unit past endurance.

Good morning! I am apologize to inform you that I have never used it for that is particular function. However, the GPS function is astonishing! It has been used all through the US and South America with no problem! I hope this helps!
