    This product does really well except for it picks up a lot of false signals. The signals probably come from the new technology on cars with proximity detectors/sensors.

    I had an older Cobra model but it stopped picking up radars and even the speed signs. It was time for an upgrade. I was going back and forth between the 350 and this 480i model. I spent the extra money and couldn’t be happier. Well worth the money and works as intended. Doesnt give off many false alerts.

    This radar is very good especially if you are on a budget. I have no complaints about it, besides that I had to return it at first because the power cord came broken, and fried an outlet in my car when I tried to use the broken cord.

    I will say I have had all the radars well almost all. Belltronics, Escort etc .. this does just as much as they do as far as great radar detection including distance. I would much prefer this than pay an extra $400 for radars that point which way signal is coming from.
