Unreliability in radar detectors

Media loading error. When it works it does a good job of warning you of approaching cars, however it frequently drops the bluetooth connection on my Garmin 830. Same problem with 1030. Avoid it due to software issues.

Pros
  • Car accessories
Cons
  • High price

Works with headphones

headphones are not safe to drive, do not use. Since everyone was a bunch or rule breakers, that's really clever. I find myself looking ahead at the road like I should. If I get an audible alarm, I can look in my mirror. Without them, I often don't notice the car in the mirror. even if it's not 100%. I've had cars overhauled but didn't show up under very special circumstances. This does not make a mirror and a glance over the shoulder superfluous. It just makes driving with headphones a lot less

Pros
  • car electronics
Cons
  • cable is shorter than other

Unreliable car accessory item

Pros
  • When used with a compatible smartphone, the Varia app provides graphic, sound and vibration alerts to indicate approaching vehicles. When used with a compatible smartphone, the Varia radar integrates with third-party apps such as Ride with GPS to display rear-view radar alerts on your maps. Peloton mode provides a low-intensity flash of light that is ideal for group cycling.
Cons
  • Some little things
