Escort Inc. recently released their new “Radar Detector Tools” program. This program enables owners of Escort’s 9500ci remote mounted radar detector to download the latest firmware and traffic enforcement camera database for their detector and installs them to your detector.
The user also has the ability through this program to change/save/upload the detector’s settings such as band detection, display modes, deactivating/activating Truelock feature and automute settings.
Hats off to Escort, as they are the first radar detector company that I know of that allows the end user to update the detectors firmware.
The following video demonstrates the various options with Escort’s new program.

Thanks Roy, the 9500ci is truly impressive with this added feature. Helpfully there will be more customizable features provided in the future.
Any idea when the 9500I’s software will be available?
They are now offering this update feature on the brand new 9500ix as well (non-remote unit); Effective July 2008
I have recently downloaded the latest (Nov/09) software for my 9500ci and I now have lost the GPS feature for the unit? It took 20 minutes for the download…and without the GPS feature… am not a happy user. Way too many false alarms…as the truelock feature does not work without the GPS. It worked great before the download!
