    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

    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.

    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 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.

    I love having a great Radar detector for my car again. 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.

    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.

    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!
