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.

Very true to advertising. Has been very reliable and accurate. Great product for the price and equal to more expensive offereings.

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 !

Unit seems to work on par for what you spend on this device. The suction cups leave something to be desired. I've noticed that overall range is not that great - didn't really stand up in much of the side by side detector reviews - but for the price, not too bad...

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.

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.

A lot of false alarms but that’s how every radar is with modern cars everywhere. Works great

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.

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.

Long range gives me enough time to slow down. Gives a lot of faults but you can lockout any faults.

Good radar for basic use. It serves it's purpose. Recomended.

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.

I have not owned a radar detector in 20 years. But, this one is a pretty good device at a great price. In addition, linking the detector to my smart phone was easy.
Love this radar. It’s fairly cheap and it does what it’s supposed to very well. I’ve had it for a month or two now and it’s saved me a couple of times!

Excellent product for the price works perfectly just like those very expensive ones where you pay a service this one comes with one for two years love it
Mike83 Posted
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

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.
