I have an old radar detector that now goes off constantly w/ all the new stuff in cars these days. Do these address that situation? Thanks

One last piece of advice do not buy the Whistler 130, you will see the police officer before the radar gun does, i use Beltronics rx65

So many new cars are using radar rear view mirrors blind spots excetra older are detector is not filtered well enough to recognize these all the blind spot detectors my advice to you would be hit by a newer detector

As a retired law enforcement officer who has worked Radar for 20 years buy the best you can afford you have a lot better chance on defeating the radar gun

Every time I see it go off there is a patrol car sitting or driving by. Sometimes it reacts to doors at super markets like wall mart and when emergency vehicles are active they also set it off. But other than that no it does not alert you unless it is something that actually sets it off. It will constantly beep with a bar telling you how strong the signal is. The stronger the signal the faster the beep. Also it will let you know well in advance about a radar and will continue to beep until out of range.

Yes, but there might be small features that do not work with other vender equipment such as this. For instance I can not memorize locations with this one. If I want to do that I have to use the buttons on the detector. But everything else works. I love it and would not drive without it. So great for silencing the unit quickly and having more lights go off when radar is detected. Great unit for the price.

Yes. It will decect all radar, but make sure that you program the type in to the Cobra

Yes, just make sure you use some type of shim to level the detector. I use a rolled up washcloth and place it between the visor and the ceiling of my car. Anything will work as a shim that doesn't damage your car.

Well if you have owned a radar previously you would know that you have to mute these devices when they start going off and the front of the radar will be lit up. With the concealed display the actual radar will no longer light up making it less visible at night if there is a cop behind you. Also having the mute button closer can be more convenient

Thats a tricky question actually. Well...the sensors are plastic and will they go off when something reflects their wave....would paint do that if placed on them... maybe not the spray kind of paint..not sure about the real car paint thing..which will melt them anyways if applied.

Yes, no problem with detection. I mount on the visor without fear of radar from all sides. This is battery operated so carry a spare set but the detector will warn you of low power.

Not sure about the question. My detector was returned as it was defective as it kept saying 'service required'. I do not recommend this device or the company.

Is this a good radar? Does it work good and comes with charger? I want to buy it but I don't really know abouts radars :/

do the police have their own devices to detect whether drivers are carrying radar detectors on board; if so, is this device able to escape that detection?

it's been awhile, but i believe several owners reported it having an auto alert preset that would drain the battery. i could be mistaken. i was researching this and the NOAA radio, at the time.

If I recall, there is a sensitivity setting. And no, there is no away a car will set it off. Its detection range is limited.

You can download the iRadar (by cobra) app from the App Store. I use it to configure the Radar Detector and gain access to the Aura Database (warnings while driving).

I haven't had the need to turn it off. I unplug it in the city due to all the speed detection signs where I live, it constantly goes off but that's just it working. I did get tagged yesterday on my way to work by a CHP officer on the side of the road with his radar gun out but he never pursued me and it lit up like the fourth of July.

Unless your dashboard is receptive to the suction cup on the bottom of the device (my car has a vinyl dash)my initial response would be no. The window mount partially obstructs the front of the radar detector ( mine is a Cobra) and I found that this interferes with it's performance as it calls for a clear view of the road from the windshield. Good Luck.

Yes, Raymond, unless you have other things plugged into this unit & running, such as I who have a GPS Navigation unit, a Radar detector unit, & a forward and rearward "Auto Cam" unit connected but, on my 2010 Ford 4X4 Off Road Pickup then after 10 minutes it automatically disconnects power to the "Plugin's", depending on the vintage of your vehicle it may do the same thing.Regards Jim Meyer.

Not that I'm aware of. This detector is pretty nice. I use the app "waze" on my cell and have a phone holder inserted into my cd player opening and with both devices turned on its a pretty safe drive on the highway here around Tampa. Good luck.
