    It is extremely bad product. Before I used to have $40 radar detector bought on amazon was excellent working fine for years until someone broke in to my car and stole it. After, one month from purchasing this one I received my first speeding ticket $250 fine and 4 points on my licenses. Basically doe not do the job. In wish I can return it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      We're sorry to hear you had a bad experience with RAD 380. Be aware that they can selectively target vehicles with laser which can be difficult for any detector to give much warning to. For maximum detection performance, make sure the detector is mounted low and level on your windshield with a clear view of the road. If the detector is not alerting at all then there may be an issue with it. For further assistance, call us at 800-543-1608 during our hours of Monday-Friday, 9am-5:00pm EST. cedarelectronics-cobra

    Compared to the Cobra RAD480i

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We have both the RAD380 and the RAD480i. They both use the same Next Gen IVT Filters but running them both in the same (area) route the 480i false alarms KA constantly with the K doing the same as were the 380 never has a false KA alerts and very very few false K alerts. We are also teaching the grandkids to drive and go from Columbus, Ohio to Mineral Wells West Virginia on Sunday mornings and have quit using the 480i because it never stops alarming but I like the voice alerts, the way the menu works and the way the unit looks. The 380 picks up OSP KA band coming the opposite way and has given us more than enough warning many times on those trips to West Virginia. The 380 is not as cool looking as the 480i but the 380 works well with my 2021 KIA with all KIAS high tech warning sensors, radar tech. If you can get by with out the app and what it does on the 480i I would just advise getting the RAD380. I tried to give you my true opinion, experience with both of these.
