      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

    I've had several radar detectors throughout the years. However with all the new technology you constantly get false alarm after false alarm. Overall its ok won't be buying another Cobra again.

    It does the job but sometimes it doesn’t alert you until the last second. The radar beeps at everything. It gets really annoying and I have to mute it all the time

    Works most of the time but there are times that it won't even pick up traffic delays so I can avoid them. For the price in not sure if it is worth it.
