I started to purchase the Escort 9500 ci but after reviewing my front bumper area when I installed my LED running lights. I figured out that with the XF supercharged and the XFR, You don't have to many choices. There is no space near or around the headlight area unless your willing to cut into the bumper skin and move the park senors. Also the lower vent are functional so you can't block them. For the antennas, hight isn't as much of a porblem as distance apart (You Must Have atleast 5 ft apart). My bother was able to mount his Antennas directly under the headlights on his 300 SRT.. He took off his front bumper and facia and cut a area under the leadlights and took out some of that foam. He took his time with a little help from me and made it look like standard equipment. Our problem is that we have those headlight washers mounted to the headlight assemble.
I just decided to go with the 9500 IX.. I gave up on the ci.
Sorry I wasn't able to help you more.

 

I debated whether to start a new thread or not, but decided to post here pic of my 9500ci installation. I haven't yet had a chance to "test" it thoroughly, but the install is very cleanly done with the display and control units hidden in the forward console storage compartment.

 

I would like to know how you installed the front antennas so that it will activate correctly. Can you post Pic's, If it works, I will go back to the CI..

 

Whether they activate correctly is open to question, but the shop that installed my system put them inside the middle grille, near the edges of the radiator. This is per the Escort installation instructions, which tell you to place them 1/3 the way in from the outer edges of the car. Laser detection and shifting is kind of hit or miss anyway. It is not something you should rely on.

 

Hey Need4Spd,
This looks like a really neat install.. How long did it take the shop to install the system.. I know it had to be a pain, It took me a few hours to install my LED running lights under the bumper. I know they had to move stuff to get to that area.
Good luck with it, Please let us know how it works out for you..

 

Not sure as they charged me a flat rate, but it took them the better part of an entire work day.

When I travel to Altlanta ga on company, the industry pretty common occurrence, We are expected to take a seat within extended group meetings all day and usually have absolutely nothing to do during the night. This kind of used to be an issue, but I began employing escorts read here for you to fill up my personal free time.
