Great Product
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this radar detector because i heard good things about it and i had lost mine, I saw that there was an app that goes with the radar detector and thought that was pretty cool. I’m a little annoyed that the radar detector will go off even when it’s not picking up a police radar gun but will pick up like an automatic door at a liquor store or grocery store.

Posted .Thanks for the 5 star review. The filtering in the detector will help reduce these false alerts. You can also try changing your sensitivity level.

Good price/performance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works good, has long range, still has some falls alerts especially in city but you can reduce with lower sensitivity.

Pick it, before you get a ticket…
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Cobra 480i is a very good value radar detector. Set it on the “Less Info” setting and it’s a lot less confusing on what type of radar it is picking up. If your skeptical about paying a truck payment for higher end detectors… the Cobra 480i is the radar detector for you!!

Buy it!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this after I got a ticket for speeding has kept me out of tickets after that. I took a trip to California and it warned me each time there was a hidden cop. It was dark so I was glad I had this.

Catch me if u can coppers!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item was purchased as a gift for my sister-in-law she made the comment a few weeks ago while doing some Christmas shopping with my wife that she could really use a radar detector. So with some research I found a Best Buy carried this product at a great price and actually have them in stock! The product registers with plenty of warning or time to make adjustments with your driving to help avoid that costly ticket. One pointer though on mounting either mount the device high or low just not dead center in the windshield seem to get better responses in the high or low position rather than dead center !

Great value
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great radar for the price. Never had a issue. Yes it will go off when other radars are detected but you can customize what radar you want it to pick up. KA is the only signal I look for.

I'm ready....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since I travel a lot, I thought it would be to my advantage to invest in a really good radar detector. Sometimes you don't realize you are driving over the speed limit especially if its a beautiful day and you're enjoying some great music or listening to a good audio book. I've purchased radar detectors before however, this by far has been one of my better purchases.

Good for the heavy footed.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has saved me a ticket or two. It does exactly what it is supposed to, although it goes off on a lot of other bands. You can turn off any band you don't want it to scan for it. I don't intentionally speed, but this has detected a few speed traps and put me on extra alert to watch my speed saving me potential tickets.

It’s ok
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish I could be more precise when it comes to give you alerts because it gives the alerts but doesn’t give what kind of activity it’s getting but the codes
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from Cedar Electronics Team
Posted .Thank you for your feedback. Upon receiving an alert, the RAD 480i will indicate the type of threat detected, showing X, K, KA, or Laser. The X, K, and KA represent different radar band frequencies used by radar guns. We are happy to offer additional information. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 800-543-1608.
