My apologies. OP updatedPrice??
I don't think they're comparable at all. Radar detector detects using a device trying to get your speed. Waze just says that they're supposed to be a police officer there.Anyone know how well does this compare to Waze reported police?
it is a sticky cup not a suction. much better IMO. and yes it has the smart chord. however it has the one WITHOUT the USB charging port.Is the suction cup pictured in the 1st post included? Is the cord a smart cord?
I was kidding about asking on that. It's self reporting so it tends to be accurate for police activity. I am just wondering if anyone has actually had a chance to use both at the same time. However, I see there is some crowd sourcing in the Redline EX, "Escort Live connect to the Escort Live app on your smartphone and use Bluetooth to sync your Radar detector for crowd-sourced alerts and ticket prevention" Pretty cool merging of technologies.I don't think they're comparable at all.

So this particular one will give some false positives but not too many. Then to add to it you can have it block it out once you have determined that it is not a police officer. As you update it more and more with escort live it also helps with that as well. Reason being is that you're uploading your false signals into their database just like everyone else is and then you're downloading it back down to your unit. My newer units have wifi-enabled and it does it on the Fly.I was kidding about asking on that. It's self reporting so it tends to be accurate for police activity.

The last time I had a radar detector (Escort) about 20 years ago, it would give so many false positives in town. It was quite annoying. Just wondering how much you can rely on one.
As you know WAZE will only tell you that someone reported police activity. Not that they are using radar or that they are even still there. If they are using radar, this detector will let you know. I've had mine go off for a few miles before seeing the cop. Super long range in the right situation. As far as false positives, most were detecting X band in town. You can choose which bands to detect. Cops in most areas use only Ka band. If that is your case you can filter the others and get no false positives. I would double check your area first.I was kidding about asking on that. It's self reporting so it tends to be accurate for police activity.

waze isn't bad but escort live is out doing it. esp with the wifi enabled models. My other detectors are Bluetooth too so they up date from my phone on the fly but there is a little bit of a lag. the wifi models have almost no lag. you just have to have wifi in the car or a hotspot.If had to choose between waze and the 9500ix, I’d go with the real thing with the 9500ix. I have 2 of them and use them in conjunction with waze, a pretty good combo. The 9500ix is a pretty nice unit.
