Worth the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does everything I need it to and is responsive. Can be a little sensitive if you live in a populated area with many cameras but other than that it works as intended.

Nice!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice unit, it picks up the Coos using radar. I’ve had other units that picked up farther away, but this unit still alerts you in time to slow down.

Will Save You From Speeding Past The Grocery Store
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This doesn't seem to pick up actual police radar/laser/etc. However, it works great if you want to be warned about the grocery store you're approaching. I've passed local and state police while they were parked and on the highway coming towards me, and this has yet to pick up anything. I guess they all could have had their radar turned off but not likely. I've checked several times to make sure the detector is set to “on” for each type of radar, very disappointed.

I was having trouble finding a detector that worked with one of my cars and this Cobra solved that problem. I haven't learned all the functions yet, but the more I learn the more I enjoy it.

Cobra radar

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Cedar Electronics Team
Posted .To reduce false alerts, try using Medium or Low SEN modes. To change the SEN mode, repeatedly press the SEN button until you reach the desired mode.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend Everything I need in a radar detector at a great $
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Using the cigarette lighter makes install a breeze. I'll hardwire it in the future but for those that don't, work install and setup is easy. Added benefit of Bluetooth connect-ability gives you an extra edge on the police. Definitely recommend!
