This is why I have the K40 in my car. Clean stealth install. No control issues. Sure, I would have preferred the headunit of the 9500, but, the 9500 DOES NOT have rear radar detection. In New Jersey, the cops use radar almost exclusively. Rear radar has saved my ass many times!!! If Escort ever comes out with a 9500 than incorporates rear radar detection, I would consider it. In the meantime, here is a link to the K40 istall to see the LED placement in the dash.
