It looks cool but does it really work? Not sure ye
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I gave it a 4 star because it's just cool. I have in in my corvette and took it on a road trip to Vegas. Maybe I use it more to check if my car battery is good cause thats the first thing it will tell you lol. I have an awesome sound system installed by best buy & i check my battery gauges often. But since i have owned it i have only had it beep once when there was a cop next to me. I get false alarms & I've had instances where there are cops around me or emergency vehicles & it has not alerted me. Guess it beeps every few minutes or secords just to remind me drive safely.

Great radar detector
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing works really well with out giving excessive false alerts. Combined with the iRadar app on my cell phone, it alerts to alerts to police presence and gives plenty of advance warning about radar and laser.

Just use Waze
|Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Way too many false signals. There would only be 30 seconds of peace in between the constant false K and Ka alerts. This might be helpful on more suburban streets but on the highway it is pretty useless because of the amount of false signals and not giving alerts when highway patrol is sitting in the median doing nothing but watch people for speed. I get that they might not have been doing radar at the time of passing them, but if I pass 3 within a 5 mile stretch I don't think all 3 would not be using radar or lidar for speed. The only reason why I give this 2 stars is because the laser detector worked well and that is it. Also for anyone getting this for the app the app does nothing for controls for this device. In summary, this thing sucks and just use Waze.

Posted .Consistent Ka false alerts are not normal. There may be an issue with your unit. For further assistance, contact us at 800-543-1608 M-F 9:00AM-5PM EST. Live Chat is available from 10:00 AM-4:45 PM Eastern Time M-F. Look for the chat icon at the lower bottom right side of the Cobra web pages. To reduce X and K band false alerts, use Medium or Low SEN mode. Press the SEN button to change SEN modes.
