The Escort Passport 9500IX is one of the company’s latest models, and it has many useful features to offer.It is designed to provide users with long-range warnings for all radar bands that are used in North America, including X, K, Superwide Ka, and POP modes.

Regarding firmware upgrades, the only one that I know of is the one that incorporates BS/RDR. If you don't have the latest firmware on your RD, it will have to be sent into Escort for the upgrade.
If a further firmware upgrade is offered sometime in the future, you can either send it in to Escort, or if you own an Escort Live SmartCord, you can upload the firmware to the cord using Detector Tools and then it will update the firmware in the RedLine.
I'd like to expand on the previous comment that 'Laser doesn't really matter'. For best Laser detection, your RL should be mounted low, and for best Radar detection, it should be mounted high. This is because LEOs using Laser are aiming them at your headlamps or license plate. I take the previous poster's comment to mean that if you get a laser alert, and you aren't using any other Laser counter-measures, then the LEOs already have your speed, and the alert doesn't amount to much more than to let you know that you're toast.
To counter Laser, you'll need to install Laser shifters/jammers, and perhaps a apply a coating of Laser Veil on your headlamps and license plate.
Good luck

Escort Radar Software Update

Just and update for you Escort users.. A new version of Escort Detector Tools is out. It will update when you run Escort Detector tools. It is version v. 1.11.18
When I initially ran it (I have a Passport Max - but didn't have it connected initially)
I saw this screen:
And was like great.. they finally added something new for this -- But,.. once I conncected my detector it went away, that tab and screen is gone.
The Remove Location Types is not grayed out (IIRC it was grayed out in the last version.. maybe someone can confirm that for me, with the P. Max and old version of Detector Tools). So that's an improvement of functionality if so.. If not.. then it's an update that for the P. Max does nothing,.. but for other detectors it does something, an update doesn't occur for no reason lol. I imagine the 9500, and such detectors get some help with bugs, etc.
Here's a video of when I plugged in my Passport Max to it, as I was testing to see if that screen above was going to be available.. and of course it wasn't. Oh well:
