After doing a lot of research I was ready to buy the Escort 9500ci. The unit sells for $1,595 on the Escort/Passport website and that website listed the local BMW dealership as an authorized dealer. I called the dealer and was told they no longer install Escorts. When I asked why I was told Escort ended the deal with BMW. The dealer then told me the only radar detector they are authorized to sell and install is a KP40 model. In all of my research, most of it done on radar detector forums, I never saw mention of the KP40. I looked it up and found a model, KP40-2000P, described as follows: " undetectable DUAL sensors are used. One is mounted behind the front grill and the other behind the rear tail light or bumper." There was more information about the product and I point this aspect out only becauseI want a mounted unit. Naturally, quality is my number one concern.
I'm somewhat irritated that the dealer will not install the Escort unit... In any event, has anyone here heard of or had experience with the KP40 models?
Thanks for any helpful comments or suggestions.
