    It is completely JUNK. It’s alerting non stop and makes you crazy, and has many false alters.

    It’s pretty bad for it price and at the same time it’s good for the price but it gives a lot of false alerts.

      To reduce false alerts, use medium or low SEN modes. You can change the SEN mode by pressing the SEN button. cedarelectronics-cobra

    This radar is okay. Nothing like the 400$ beltronics radar I use to have. This one does not have the red light camera feature like it says. This radar only picks up the police when they are already close to you. Good for trips but not as a everyday use

    Bought one 2 years ago, and had to exchange for another cause the voice was going out. The one I got now is trash, it has only went off twice. The other one could even pick up automatic doors!

      Thank you for your review. You may want to check your installation and sensitivity level, but please keep in mind that the RAD 480i has false alert filtering, which results in a quieter ride as it filters out some of those pesky false alerts, including automatic door openers. For assistance, please contact us at 800-543-1608. cedarelectronics-cobra

    Was working okay but after 6 months the voice started to find distorted until it finally went out. I've emailed a few times since it states it had manufacturer warranty, but no luck with getting a response. =\
