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

Thank you for choosing Cobra. It's important to remember that police vehicles may not always operate radar/laser, which is required to trigger an alert. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at 800-543-1608.

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.

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. =\

As far as functionality goes, this is exactly what you get. It's able to pick up the main bandwidths and laser, and with your phone, has gps lockouts and community radar reports.
Except it's gotta be able to connect to your phone, and stay connected even. Every time I drove I had to wait up to 5 minutes before it finally connected, and that was manually searching for it within the app. Even then, I e often just had to drive without the GPS lockout or community features since it just refused to connect.

I had the previous generation of this radar detector and I feel like this radar detector is too sensitive, it would give me a KA band alert but there is no cop near me.
