Thanks for all the help--that is one thing about this forum---if you need help, you get it. By the way where are you all putting the gps antenna---next to the stock one on the dashboard? Same with the speaker, where are you installing that and has anyone taken advantage of the mute radio function? Since I have a cab is the speaker vol loud enough?
I just talked to the passport people and the 9500ci is IN STOCK. I asked about the software download feature and apparently it will not be functional until june 08. As I get it the download will occur via a usb port meaning that the controller will have to eventually have some sort of assess to the cord.

Like Greta I run both the V1 and the 9500ci (belt and suspenders mentality).
The Passport will learn where the false alarms are and then won't give you an audible warning. So once it learns all my local area false alarms it should be relatively quiet. My installer turned off the X band detection to reduce the false alarms in town, but it can easily be reinstated for highway driving. The V1 will continue to give false warnings, but I can turn down the volume so that it is not to annoying. The arrows of the V1 are helpful in locating the source of the signal.
It is also interesting the two units don't always pick up the same signal. The V1 is mounted high up on the windshield next to the mirror and 9500ci receiver is mounted behind the front bumper and these locations may contribute to this disparity. As a side note, if they both go off at the same time, the alarms are enough to initiate an unwanted bowel movement.

It is very interesting that they do pick up different signals - good to have both!
