Escort Windshield Suction Cup Mount for Radar and Laser Detectors

The suction cups are the same cheap cups that come with the unit. If you need new cups go to a hobby store and buy some designed to hang small artwork off windows.

The description does not mention that this also works with the 9500i and 9500ix Escort detectors. When I read this I noticed this model wasn't mentioned so I was a little concerned this model was omitted from the list on purpose. At this cheap price though I figured it was worth taking a chance, turns out it is the identical mount that comes with your 9500i detector.

There are better mounting options available, the Escort visor mount works with the 9500i as well, makes for a solid mount, just difficult to access the buttons and some people may experience GPS connectivity problems if mounted directly at the roof of your vehicle (though I haven't had any problems). There's another company that makes a mount that attach's directly to your rear view mirror that works very well, it's just a little pricey for what you actually get.

This is the same cheap, low suction, bouncy (due to the metal bracket flexing) mount that came new with your Escort detector. The new cups will work marginally better than your old, worn out cups but you will soon come back to your car and find your detector on the floor or dangling from the power cable. Some folks recommend putting your old cups in boiling water for a bit to freshen them up for better grip, but I have not tried it.

The Valentine V1 mount is head and shoulders better than this offering from Escort (as is the V1 detector) but the 8500 X50 works pretty good and can be found a lot cheaper - but the Escort mount is just terrible.

Note that if you buy a replacement suction cup mount direct from Escort or at many other online stores you get the bracket and FOUR new suction cups - so you have spares when the first two quit gripping. This item from Amazon is just the bracket and TWO cups.
