Radar detector vs. G37 Preview braking false alarms?
I'll look it up but it never locked out the laser in my car in my home location.. it kept buzzing every time I got into the car.. till i pushed the mount forward towards the window..
Here is my chat with Escort:
"Welcome to Escort Inc.! An online representative will be with you shortly. You are number 1 in the queue. Your wait time will be approximately 0 and 25 seconds. Thank you for waiting.
You are now chatting with 'Brian'
Brian: Thank you for your interest in Escort! How may I help you today?
Me: Does the TrueLock feature work with all bands of radar and laser included?
Brian: It will lock out X and K bands.
Me: No laser right?
Brian: No, laser or Ka band won't be locked out.
Me: Thanks Brian, have a great day.
Brian: Thanks so much for your business, and I hope you have a wonderful day!"
I am sorry to inform you but you are wrong and it is not in the instructions.

The TrueLock feature on the Escort 9500i and Escort 9500ix is fundamentally flawed and it could result in a speeding ticket. The Escort 9500i and Escort 9500ix break K band down into 8 segments so when you TrueLock a K band false from a door opener, you have blocked 12.5% of K band that is shot in that particular segment in that 1/2 mile area. That is if you only block one door opener but most places have multiple door openers all operating in different segments of K band.
If you have 4 door openers that are in different segments, you will have blocked 50% of K band radar that is shot in that area regardless of whether it is from a door opener or a cop shooting K band within that 1/2 mile area. You will not receive an alert and you will receive a ticket if you are speeding. The only time the Escort will definitely alert in a TrueLocked area is if he is shooting Ka band because the Escort 9500i and Escort 9500ix will always alert to Ka band in a TrueLocked area.

Videos showing you why TrueLock = TrueFail:
Read what this Escort 9500ix user named Z1NONLY over at radardetector.net had to say about the GPS TrueLock feature. His Escort 9500ix with TrueLock has blocked out actual police radar 4 out of 6 times when he was in a TrueLock area which is a 66.66% failure rate and a 33.33% success rate.

"I was driving a stretch of road that used to have two K band alerts in less than a mile. Now thanks to trulock, that stretch of road has been quiet for me.
But today it was too quiet. I was almost dead center between the two false alarm locations and noticed my satellite icon was still spinning. (It usually stops for a while in between the two locations.)
I reached up and hit the GPS button to disable GPS features and my ix instantly starts freaking out on K-band. (Very strong signal)
Sure enough, there is a LEO about a block ahead of me waiting to make a u-turn. He made the u-turn and took a side street shortly thereafter. As soon as he turned down the side street the K-band alert stopped and a few seconds after that, the CVS sounded a weak K-band alert as expected.
********As of 1/27/9 My 9500ix has "locked out" 4 LEOs (BAD) and alerted to two K-band LEO's in locked-out locations*************"

okay the manual does state the laser CAN BE locked out.
Look on page 9. X , K, or laser can be locked out.
This manual is for the 9500IX not the 9500I. you can also download the PDF its in there too.

just trying to keep you guys informed,
shouldnt be speeding in a area of truelock anyhow, thats like asking for a ticket.
9500i just says you can lock out falses in the manual and doesn't speak to the bands.
9500ix says you can true-lock X, K, and laser, but says nothing about the bands for auto-lock.
9500ci says you can true-lock X, K and laser, but Auto-lock ONLY locks X and K.
I dont think the customer service you spoke with really knows the product, or else you would have recieved the correct answer.
