    Works alright. Doesn’t seem to pick up everything but maybe they don’t have their radar on?

    Speaker just quit working. Radar still is funtional, just absolutely no noise. Worked with cobra support to make sure it wasnt muted or anything. Nothing. They advised i have to send it in, i have to pay shipping, and itll take 6 weeks minimum. Ridiculous! And all conveniently happened mere days after bestbuy return period ended. Buy a more expensive one, this one is junk!
