Cobra RAD 480i Laser Radar Detector – Long Range Detection, Bluetooth, Drive Smarter® App, LaserEye Front and Rear Detection, Digital Signal Processing, Black

Amazing, Definitely worth the purchase!
 Dash cam quality, and capturing is Excellent. I would upgrade the Sim card to a bigger one because it’s an 16 gig, But is good quality. Reader detector is Excellent too The text how I patrol around curves and from pretty far out even if they are on the opposite side of the highway. You can go ahead and mark on Waze or whatever app you use to help other drivers. also has a compact design for both units so it doesn’t take up much space of your windshield, Which is a plus if a cop tries to hassle you over a ticket over Blocking your vision. The app could use some work, also does take a while to load so don’t think it’s Internet. But easily manageable. Update: After having on for a while, I can highly recommend the 380i and dash cam, it filters out false alerts detects HP’s at a good distance and around corners, also for the camera has steady focus and clear quality.

5-Stars! But….
… these 5 stars are for the detector alone at under $150!DO NOT download and sign up for the app!1. It doesn’t work well. I had to turn off my smart watch as it got stuck in a loop with notifications.2. They’ll bombard your email with junk emails!The detector works great! I got it for a spare car and am comparing it to my 4 times more expensive Escort.Pros:Few falses and very modest alerts (voice) on K and X band. More assertive with alarm and voice on Ka and there was cops so it WORKS! Display is clear and bright enough in daylight. Functions are clear enough but you may wanna download a full manual.Cons:Mounting is okay. Feels secure but not Escort nice. Cord is just that, a cord. Long enough for any cigarette lighter plug-in but has no buttons. If you wanna mute an alert you need to reach the mute button on the detector. Closest to you but still far away, especially in a truck or SUV etc.But overall a 5 STAR $150 detector! Does all the Escort do for me (I just hang it and expect it to point out police radars in the vicinity. ) I actually like Cobra alerts better as they’re not in your face like Escort.I recommend this product but don’t download the app and expect to actually use the buttons on the detector (if you need to, I set mine up and now don’t touch it other than the occasional mute when a cop is close for a long time.)

A great budget radar detector
Here’s an improved version of your review for the Cobra 480i:—The Cobra 480i is an excellent radar detector. It consistently alerts me to police presence well in advance, giving me ample time to adjust my speed. The few false alerts I’ve experienced are minimal and don’t detract from its overall performance. Highly recommended!

NICE!
This detector is one of the better ones I’ve had. I just had it hard wired in to my Challenger. It seems to warn you far ahead of the danger and I’m finding stop light camera’s where I never knew they were before. For my taste the warnings repeat too much and seem incessant at times. Other than that minor irritation this is well made and comes with a very nice mount.

I’ve owned this rader detector for almost a year now and It’s worth every penny!The frequency of the alerts are clear even over my blasting music and subs. It scans in front of the car and behing so it dosnt miss anything. The volume and buttons easy to access. You can even customize which alerts you receive or don’t.It also has a Cobra app that connects to the scanner so you can “Mark” areas that you commonly receive the same alert. When connected to the app it displays the speed limit, and if there’s a red light scanner coming up.Only downside is the suction cups that it comes woth are very weak so i upgraded to the mirrow mount.

Does not detect laser based speed cameras in NCR, I am sure same would be the case for rest of India

Hallo an alle, die Blitzer genauso doll hassen wie ich.Ich habe dieses den Cobra 480i gekauft, damit er mir blitzer anzeigt. Vorzugsweise mobile blitzer.Wenn alle standartfunktionen eingeschaltet sind, dann reagiert das Gerät im minutentakt. Das bedeutet, dass alle verkehrsmessgeräte im Frequenzbereich von K und Ka arbeiten. So ist es zumindest in Berlin. Als Folge bleibt also nur diese Frequenzbereiche zu deaktivieren, was bedeutet das die meisten festen blitzer nicht mehr angezeigt werden. Somit werden nur die laser angezeigt. Hier ist das Problem jedoch, dass das Gerät viel zu spät reagiert (so ca 5m vor dem Blitzer oder sogar erst später), trotz höchster Sensibilität.Ich sende es wieder zurück, da es für mich absolut unbrauchbar ist.
