I don't know how into detail I can go with this so I'll just get it out there. Every time I step on the gas and I get to 2k RPM, my radar detector goes off as 'Laser'. That's really all I can say. No idea whatsoever what the hell is wrong. Anyone have ideas?

Passport 8500 x50

 

Yeah, several reports of this over in the audio forum, most all with the escort/passport IIRC. I have the passport 8500 and it's never done it to me, but it has gone off (laser) a few time when running the wipers. Scared the crap out of me.

 

This has happened to me with my cobra, but not so much 2k as when i floor it... anyway i believe it has something to do with a slight power surge when you accelerate

 

I have the passport 9500i, it never does this either. The only time I hit laser is when I pick up the laser under my seat and it thinks my Navi screen is a laser.

 

My Passport 9500IX does this from time to time when I go to pass someone on a 2 lane road. Glad to know it's not just me.

 

There is a post I made like 2years ago. There is some RF leak if I can recall the issue where there isnt a good seal.

I did this and it worked like a charm

 

Mine does it too....I simply disabled the laser function in the settings, but I think I'll try taking it apart like in the thread above.

 

until I get money I'll do that because I'm getting the new 9500.

 

Since I did mine originally back in 07, I haven't had the issue come back. Good luck, I hope you get it fixed.
