RAD 350 Laser Radar Detector - Long Range, False Alert Filter, OLED Display, Black

I've been using a radar detect for 4 years now and they have saved my butt more times than I can count. We all occasionally speed, I don't care what you say it happens often on accident. Speed in itself isn't inherently dangerous, roads such as the autobahn or the middle of nowhere usa where speed limits can reach 85mph prove this. So long as traffic and road conditions are adequate speed is not a problem. Mind you this logic won't get you out of a ticket if you drive like a maniac. I updated from an older cobra radar detector and I can't believe how much quieter this thing is. My old detector was constantly being set off by every prius and Tesla that drove by. It got to the point that I was just ignoring it, until another driver saved me from a ticket by being extra stupid. I was driving to work at 10pm on a Sunday night, roads nearly empty and dry. I was cruising at around 75mph when the radar detector goes off but I just ignored it assuming it was another prius. As I round the corner my heart drops and I downshift to slow down when I see a cop sitting right there watching. He start to pull out as sure enough someone in a mustang flies past us at over 90mph the cop waved as he drove by and I decided it was time for a new radar detector. After a few hours of looking I realized that escorted bought cobra. This made me happy since escorted is a higher end brand and potentially meant better detectors. I was not disappointed when this radar detector arrived. The first few days I thought this detector was broken, it was so quiet I was sure I had gotten a dud. Saturday night came around and I quickly realized this thing wasn't broken it just worked that well. Around every corner that night was a cop and I was only alerted to the cop. I have actually started to trust my radar detector again. Range is excellent Filtering false alarms is unbelievable. Volume is good Lack of voice alert sort of sucks. All in all this thing is a must have, I honestly believe that more information while driving is a good thing.

Fantastic radar detector for the price. Has saved me 7 times so far. A lot of other people think it's too quiet, but I never have a hard time hearing it – even with the windows down and music up. If you're hard of hearing or want voice alerts, pick a different unit. Each type of signal (X, K, Ka band, and laser) has its own tone – if you can't hear the difference, the display will show you what it's detecting and the strength of the signal from 1 to 5. The stronger the signal, the faster it will beep. Even in "highway" mode, I have run into very few false alerts: usually just a few seconds of a low-level K-band warning from a door opener or something. Strongly recommend hard-wiring it using a fuse and a switch, super annoying to have to mess with a cigarette lighter. Cut the plug off the power cable, the red wire in there is power and the white wire is ground. That said, remember a radar detector is not infallible: although this unit does have the capability to detect lasers, it is highly unlikely it ever will (cops aim at your license plate or headlights), and if it does, it's just telling you to pull over because you're busted. Cops can also just eyeball your speed, time you between two points, or use their own speedometer while following you. No radar detector will help you against that. If you get any X-band or Ka-band alerts, slow down: it's a cop more or less all the time. Your only false alarms will be K-band, and they will be a few seconds of a level 1 alert. Any higher intensity or longer-lasting alerts, it's a cop. Suction cup mount extremely solid, it lives in my truck and sees some really rough roads and shows no signs of going anywhere. Did not try the other mount.

I don't like the windshield mount as the angle is wrong,the suction cups don't hold up. A better mount for it would help.i used the velcro for the dash .but some people may not want to use it on an expensive car,say BMW or jaguar etc. I do want to say that compared to it's competition it works flawlessly, it paid for itself the first time by alerting me to an instant on radar being used by patrol on a motorcycle .he was hiding behind a bridge post and I only saw him as I passed ,so the detector worked very well.

So good we got another. This detector is not foolproof it will not detect if there is no active radar.That being said this has got to be the best bang for buck .It has detected on the highway over several miles away. Its great in the dark I have noticed many officer's have the radar running in a spot on the side of or median of highway. They do not stand a chance with this detector.im really happy with the range and value of this unit. If you want to save yourself some speeding citations on short trips that your not using GPS on get this.i only say that because GPS has a community that usually reports the fuzz.

I've used these Cobra radar detectors for many years and have always found them to be not only a good value, but also decently sensitive and not prone to many false alarms. It has plenty of features that work fine for me out here in SoCal - we don't seem to have nearly as many speed traps and revenue enhancing radar LEOs here as in other states so the tech doesn't have to be super top-end fancy. I can easily see the display in full sun and it serves more as an aide to my staying within the speed limits than helping me speed. Recommended.

This detector does its job very well for the price! I’m pleased with the simplicity of function and the adhesive holds it in place very well

This is constantly alerting it almost never stops.

Es justo lo que nesecitaba

i was sceptic - but it's a really nice device. i love it.

Buena calidad

Works great - Tested this weekend on a road trip, highway mode gives lots of heads up for speed traps on the highway. Know what you're buying - This DOESN'T work well in big cities, I basically keep it turned off or in Mute/City mode in Edmonton because no cops use these bands really. Its great for highway driving and I feel confident knowing I'm not ripping through a speed trap!

it does pick up all the bands & everything it claims & easy to use

I like it works very well
