This radar detector/ dash cam has the right look, but lacks performance. Issues with connecting dash cam app with smartphone, many false alerts and unable to retrieve recorded clips from device. It requires two seperate apps to function properly and the connection is hard to get. Definitely not worth the amount of money, returned item

A word of warning: if you have an iPhone do not waste money and time purchasing this product. It is not fully functional. The dash cam feature is useless. It will not work. I wasted hours trouble shooting, deleting and downloading both apps numerous times, reached out to Cobra customer service and even went online & YouTube to find a resolve. Not until I read the reviews for the app did it dawn on me that Cobra did not update its app for it to work on iOS.
I do have a Note 10+ and it was a breeze to setup and it is fully functional, dash camera and all. It is also an older phone as I have an iPhone 12 and I will not be carrying my older phone around just make a radar detector work as it should. Fortunately I discovered all of this within the two week window to return it for a full refund, which I will do.
Again if you have an iPhone, you’ve been warned

We returned this. It looked neat, but the audio on it was extremely annoying and repetitive. Ended up going with another brand.

The unit seemed pretty nice but the poor app that you need to use was awful and totally ruined the experience for me. Really liked how the dash cam and radar was all in one unit, however I had to return it and picked up the Escort 360C instead which owns Cobra but this detector actually worked with app so I’m happy.

This thing is a piece of trash honestly.... You have to have 2 separate apps for the radar detector and the camera. You cannot do live view or even see what's been recorded without switching your phone to the units wifi, which in turn doesn't have any internet. The live view only works 6 out of 10 times, which isn't very good. It doesn't automatically start recording when started, the color rings that you can customize don't even stay on! Only when messing with the buttons. The alert sounds are very generic. And on top of all that, it doesn't even have a mirror mount. For almost $500, it should come with a mirror mount. No one wants to stick this monstrosity on there window like it's 1998.... You can't get any live alerts without it being connected to some sort of wifi, but then you can't mess with the camera because you have to switch it back to into wifi, which doesn't provide internet or any sort of pass through! It is not worth 500 dollars. I'll be returning it. This is more of a 150 dollar until, it's very gimmicky and hardly works.. save your cash for something better or you'll definitely regret it!
