Best Revain buy yet!

I have to say I wholeheartedly recommend this item to anyone interested in saving money on speeding tickets! I personally have a 2013 Series 7.0 Scion TC and this little Cobra radar saved me a ton of money on tickets. The features are endless too! Let's talk about the features first: It has the ability to connect to your iDevice via Bluetooth. This is a cool feature as you can see your speed, map, traffic cams, traffic light cams, live police and where other speed cameras have been picking up signals throughout the day in real time. The map feature lets you see if you're in a "safe zone" where police often don't go, or if you're in an area where people's radars often pick up signals. Detection Types: The radar can customize some settings to your liking, e.g. B. A speed warning that warns you when you are driving too fast. The coolest thing is that you can change your settings right from your iDevice, so you can plug it in and turn individual signals on or off. This is great when you get a lot of false POP alerts, which are often random signals. You can easily turn them off completely. You can also use the app to move between the freeway and the city, which changes the way the radar sees signals. Signal Detection Quality: If you've done your research, you know that some radars can cost double or even triple or more. This is often due to the distance at which the radar can detect police radar signals. This radar works well, but not great. That being said, you should keep in mind that the price of a radar is a lot cheaper than a high-end radar and you get a lot more features. Other than that, I've been using it for over 6 months and have never encountered an issue where I couldn't slow down fast enough when turned off. Sometimes you can spot radar signals long before you see a police car, and other times you only have a few seconds. I can say that I have never received a ticket since owning the product. So take it how you want. Price: For the price you pay, this is without a doubt the best deal! Stop reading this review and buy a product you won't regret! Important Notes: You must have an Android or Apple phone to use the radar. After the initial setup, you'll never need a phone again. The radar also works without the device, but you can't see the camera's location at a red light or anything other than just detecting radar signals. I personally don't use my phone all the time, but when I do it's great and works very well on the radar. You receive.
