The ideal assistant for drivers!

First let me say that I really like this radar and I'll explain why. I use this radar on my motorcycle and it's perfect. My idea was to have one that I can hear even when I'm on a motorbike and I bought it before, it didn't connect to the phone and I couldn't hear the alerts. I bought this and connected it to my iPhone via Bluetooth in the headset and now I can hear all notifications as well as music and calls. I'm very glad that Cobra came up with this idea of connecting the radar to the phone

Pros
  • Radar detector
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

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.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

Great idea, decent hardware, terrible software. Does not reduce the number of false alarms.

I drove about 6000 miles on it in 3 months. This saved me a few times but is still very annoying due to poor application programming. The app does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to reduce false alarms and the mute button on the device needs to be pressed about every 4 seconds to keep it silent (when a signal is detected). This detector is essentially a set of Bluetooth sensors for your phone, so it's only as good as the software that comes with it. It loses much of its usefulness when not connected to an…

Pros
  • Car Electronics Accessory
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
