    Love my new radar detector, it was easy to set up and works great on the highway at a distance. Also works great in city driving, has multiple alerts to differentiate emergency vehicles from police and red light cameras. Definitely recommend

    I've used this for a month now, it's very sleak design and detects different signals (K, Ka, Lazer, Spectre, etc). I'd recommend getting this for new buyers.

    pretty good device but got the same results out of a cheaper one from orileys but does have a few extra features that make it worth a little more plus the quality is much better.

    It does fit the purpose. Bad thing is that instructions are very limited. Buyer needs to go to the website to download the whole explanation on the device.

    Awesome price for what you get! Pros: has an app that connects to the detector and tells you the speed limit and your current speed Cons: does not automatically connect to Bluetooth, you have to open the app and wait for it to pair every time

    Worked well for the time I had it. Range was a little lacking, and no GPS for GPS block outs. Still, great little device for the moolah.

    Ive had this radar for about 2 years now and its not a very good radar if you are trying to avoid tickets! this radar picks up some cops but will let many cops who are using a radar go undetected.

      Thank you for your question. Radar detectors are illegal in Virginia and Washington, D.C., but this law does not apply to dash cameras. The SC 220C offers shared and community radar alerts through our Drive Smarter app, and you have the option to disable these alerts if you wish. cedarelectronics-cobra
