Best product for any price.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have it for 2 of my cars For 3 years now, and recommended to 2 other friends. Absolutely perfect product for the price. Takes a learning curve to fully realize its potential but once you’re there, you won’t need more.
I would recommend this to a friend Is ok but has false reads

Nice Package
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This detector is easy to set up and is very responsive. I like how it initially is loud, but reduces the volume swiftly. Very nice feature. It has a large screen and lettering making it easy to identify what ban it is monitoring . Overall a very nice unit for the price.

Decent Detector
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seems to work well. Although driving through the city it goes off quit often due to redlights and stuff (set on medium sensitivity). At medium it has a decent range to detect on the interstate.

I would recommend this to a friend Its Decent
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nothing special, its useful every now and then but has alot of false alerts. One down side Im not a fan of is having to use the app to get the full experience so I cant use apple maps if I want to use everything, plus you have to pay monthly to use the apps navigation system
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from Cedar Electronics Team
Posted .Thanks for sharing your experience. False alerts can be minimized by adjusting the detector’s sensitivity to match your driving environment. The Drive Smarter app and its features are free to use with a compatible detector like the RAD 480i. Please make sure your detector is paired to the app via Bluetooth. The app can also run in the background, so you can still use Apple Maps while staying connected to all the features. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at 800-543-1608.

First impressions....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have the money for an escort, go for it, it’s good for the price. Lucky for me I’ve barely been able to use it because my car got vandalized and totaled out and although I retained it, when I went to take it out right after the incident, the cord caught on a piece of metal under the dash and cut clean in half, so I’ve both bought a new cord and I’ve tried hardwiring it in, hardwiring doesn’t work that well I’m not sure why, and I haven’t received the new cord yet, but from the day or so of use I had out of it it seemed to do what it said, and really that’s all you can ask. I’m not a speeder, but I like to know where they are...
