Worked at first but then it stopped giving lighted program. It works in traffic but gives false information. I don't recommend this detector. Disappointed in the brand cobra. Is doing the exact same thing that gave me reason to buy another. I'm going to another brand.

A pretty basic Radar Detector, was expecting a little more glam to it. Had another one prior but different brand and I liked it better due to more buttons and variations it it's use. The cord got torn so was looking for a new replacement radar for a decent price. Was told that I would be unable to just buy another cord so bought this Cobra. This cord works for my old detector and if had my choice would rather use my old detector versus one I just bought off here (Cobra). Probably due to my comfortability with my old one. I have not had any problems using this new one but have also not seen anything worth mentioning other than it is a plug in and go product, easy to set up and use.
This Radar detector works well. So well that it even will pick up a radio tower as you drive by( which startles ya a bit). Overall the item works well it even has an intellimute button which mutes the radar after a certain rpm gain, which I would guess is good if you know your speeding and you don not want some stupid radar telling you that you just got caught? lol j/k But on a serious note the radar is a cheap radar to buy, and its overall performace I would give it a B+. It's not some top of the line radar that will tell ya that you got 2 miles to slow down, but it will give you that few second warning that you need to be able to slow down to avoid the cop's ticket gun.
I bought this device after reading about the increased use of automated radar in some metropolitan areas. I don't speed on the highways, but I travel a lot so I'm often in unfamiliar cities. So far it seems to work just fine. It picked up a highway patrol LIDAR from an overpass. I've had it on about 15 hours in the car and it's only alarmed twice. I don't know if it's missing some or if I just haven't been targeted very much. No problems with nuisance alarms. This is the first radar detector I've owned.
