By description it seems like this is the only version of higher end Cobra models which doesn't have voice alert. Anybody knows why?

i have the model below it, does not have text, but it does have V/A which is very useful when you are busy driving.

The XRS is very sensitive. So sensitive that it goes off about every half mile going down the Hwy. There are so many false alarms, that I never know when it is a actual radar trap. I think my 30 year old Escort works better. I have no information about the SPX. If I had it to do over again, I would not buy a Cobra product. Spend the extra money and get an Escort product.

Why are you replacing your KN-COSM-B with this one? What's the difference between them? I have the KN-COSM-B and I swear it's beeping and acting funny (without the voice alarm).

I bought my Astatic D104 new to go with my Cobra 148-GTL. Get nothing but good to excellent reception reports over the last 20 years. Set your radio, antenna and mic up right and I suspect you'll get the same.

mine doesnt, never tied in to system via phone line even after trying two different control panels. The alarm just sounds. I dicussed this with the company and they never fixxed it. I'm very disappointed in it!!!!

I wouldn't advise buying this product at all for no purpose, it didn't last me two months, I replaced it and highly recommend the Cobra CDR-810, it has worked sense the fall of last and still going strong. They all will have there up's and down's and my response to you involve the two Iv'e had the pleasure of using, good luck.

This question is pretty funny as I had the very same problem at first. Ended calling up Cobra about it and just before they told me how to do it, I found the answer in the manuals fist page ! LOL ! All you have to do is hold the power button down for five seconds as I remember. This will switch the display. :)

I got this recently, but it seems to work like an older one that was lost. There are two 'on' modes. When you turn on the first one, it will allow alerts to activate it but doesn't broadcast the regular report loop like the second 'on' mode. I hope that makes sense.

The only way to hear emergency response is if they are using citizens band.they usually operate on an fm band while the hand held Cobra and all cb is am.

Mine did work, but I ordered the one for my Cobra. Should work on all Cobra brands.

No monitor or alert. My car already had both , so this wasn't a issue for me.

Thanks, but I'm not talking about the clicker. The newest model (came out about 3-6 mths ago) has no sound at all with the clicker off. The older version does have a soft clicking sound even with the clicker off. Just trying to find out which one these are before buying. Thanks.

As I bought the exact same and the voice system. But my installer says in order for u to program what u want it's an separate software and he was not able to program it himself. So I left it alone. I would ask around first before you by.

Mine didnt voice dial initially. However, if you have an iphone and do the most recent software upgrade, you get a SIRI dial screen and you can use SIRI to do whatever SIRI does Also Im not sure who told you the 940 does it all, it was the low end model of the NAV series. Its does a ton of things, esp in regards to sound shaping and listening options, but the 7" and 8" Alpines NAV decks have more features (free traffic, ), but no voice dial, until the 2014 SIRI upgrade

I have occasionally had the same problem. This one seems to have a delay. I have that problem, but not all the time... so I'm guessing there's a delay and you only hear it ring if the person doesn't pick up on the first ring or two (that's just a guess though.) I had the original Roadster and had no issues with it, but this second version constantly frustrates me because of the delay (more when answering calls than calling out.)

I have a viper 3 way alarm with this voice system, when you lock the doors it will say viper arm and when you unlock the doors it will say viper unarm. I also have the field detection so when someone comes to the window then the alarm will beep, with the voice it will say, viper arm stand back.
