Customers are enthusiastic about the Elite Series Road Scout's combined radar detection and dash camera capabilities, citing excellent video quality and a wide detection range. Many appreciate the ease of use and accuracy of the device, finding it to be good value. However, some users experienced challenges with the app's connectivity and functionality, and a few noted the device's size as a drawback.
I feel like with Cobra you're paying a little extra for the brand and I wasn't sure about this somewhat expensive purchase (compared to the competition). But having a radar detector and dash cam in one unit was very appealing. The setup process was easy enough. Learning how the buttons and interface worked had a five minute learning curve which was easy. The dash camera won't win any film awards but it does a decent job during the day and night. The radar detector is superb. Maybe a little bit too good. It catches one of those warning speed signs from like 5 blocks away. I'm sure I can set the sensitivity down so it's hard to fault the unit for that.

This is a pretty good modern radar detector with dash cam. It works. Con though you have to have the apps to have full functionality and sometimes there are connectivity issues with the apps. Also, a little pricey but I bought it so I guess I’m sticking with it.

For my first radar detector, I have to say I am very pleased with it. I took a road trip right off the bat the next day after I purchased it from Pennslyvania to Arkansas. About 1,000+ miles and it helped me out about 5-6 times along the way, especially in WV. It will especially come in handy now that PA has passed a bill to allow local police departments to use radar now as well. In my mind, it has paid for itself and gave me a heads up when needed. Going into more detail about the product I think it looks pretty great in my Infiniti Q50. The one con though was the power cord did not stretch far enough to my middle console so I had to opt for a mirror tap and mount which I am glad I did. It set me back probably another $30. I also bought a longer power cord in case I switch cars or go on a road trip with a friend. The magnetic mount makes it easy to make that switch. As far as the app I would say it's fairly simple to use and I had no issues connecting to it and adjusting settings/viewing videos. Overall, I am happy with the purchase and was kind of wary of spending over $400 on this little device but like I said it probably has paid for itself and my setup with the tap-in and mount looks awesome.
