Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the RAD 480i's overall performance, radar detection capabilities, and accuracy, especially noting its value for the price and ease of use. The range and helpful app are also appreciated by some users. However, a significant concern is the frequency of false alarms.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    It is not just plug and go. I'm still learning how to use it but has locked up on some signal- had to unplug to reboot. Not much instruction with unit. I'll have to go online to fined features!

      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. cedarelectronics-cobra

    I live in the desert and Its constantly going off in the middle of no where, with no traffic around. When meeting traffic it has a bad habit of going off too. I'll say this its sensitive.

      To reduce false alerts, try using Medium SEN mode. Press the SEN button to cycle through all of the SEN modes. cedarelectronics-cobra

    This had false positive if you want to call it that. Radar detectors need updates to help. Cobras are a good brand just not radar detectors

      To reduce false alerts, use Medium and Low SEN modes. If you use the iRadar app with RAD 480i, use Auto SEN mode which automatically switches the SEN mode based on your speed. cedarelectronics-cobra
