I have been doing some research into radar detectors / jammers. I don't like the cigarette lighter plug-in ones given the wires and annoying sound (does not go with the interior) and are not that good apparently? Seems like Escort Passport 9500ci is one of the better ones for laser and traditional radar?

Questions
- anything better than 9500ci in market?
- asked my dealer and he said an outside installer will come in and install it but didn't give price. Any idea what this thing costs installed? Looks like the retail is 2000 but people have said that 1200-1300 is doable
- is it really that good? I saw a video in M3 forum of a guy who tested the valentine one and 9500ci. Looked pretty spot on.

I don't intend on speeding and consider myself a responsible driver. But in a car with this much power, doubt the cops will cut much slack even at 5-10 mph above limit which they otherwise might in a more normal car. So, I'm happy to invest some money to prevent racking up tickets. Thanks
