This product is awesome. Great interaction between sensor and iPhone
I've had this for over two months now and it has been extremely accurate. Plus the "social" aspect of users reporting speed traps , live police etc is brilliant. I have been forewarned of every police car setup along the road. The price is great and I haven't had a single problem with it. It pairs quickly and easily and connects automatically every time I get in the car over 90% of the time. I love it, its the best accessory I've ever bought for the iPhone (and I've bought tons....) …

Product is Awesome
I have used this for about 2 months now and i love it. I havent had any problems and it did good enough that i think it deserves a better review. This has saved me from getting caught in speed traps and has some really cool features. The only down side is that it doesn't have a place to put your iphone but i have a magnetic case on my iphone that holds it into place on my dash. If you want a radar detector then i suggest getting this one. …

Incognito lifesaver
Having owned the iRadar for over a year now, I must say the performance hasn't disappointed. In its earlier iterations, the cobra app had a few glitches, which seem to have been ironed out more recently. The only remaining issue is the apparent lack of feedback from user marked areas. The hardware itself is minimalistic, and with single LED display, doesn't lend itself to being a detector. When stopped for a busted taillight, the officer never took note of it sitting below my rear view mirror. Detection performance is great, I have only come across a few false alarms, which can be marked via the iPhone's GPS. Addressing the cigarette lighter durability issue, I solved that with a hardwire kit. It also cleaned up the dashboard immensely, but only install it if you're confident in your knowledge of your cars 12 volt system. …

Not completely what I was looking for
Many police vehicles have passed by me and the detector did not alarm. Also it kept on alerting me for false alerts all the time o n the highway. …

Absolutely worthless
I knew the iradar wasn't as good as a Passport or Escort or Valentine, but I thought I would try it so I bought it 2 days ago. I was stopped this morning by a state trooper and there wasn't as much as a squeak from the iradar. He only gave me a warning, but it's also a warning that the iradar is worthless. Glad to know now with just a warning. I'm returning it to the store today.
Don't waste your time buying the iradar and possibly get a ticket. …- Written by William H from Madison

Does this program still work if I am running pandora and still receive calls too?
- Asked by Jennifer L from Hilo
- Feb 21, 2013
Answer
Yes. You will really be chewing through some data and battery, but it is capable. The one snag with the app thus far is that the GPS will stay on in full even after you've closed the app. …

Does it require a data plan to function?
- Asked by Sydney S from Brandon
- Nov 27, 2012
Answer
You don't need a data plan for the radar detector portion to work, but a cellular data plan is requi red for the Cobra iRadar app to fully function. (With a data connection, it allows you to tap to report live police activity at your current location, and to receive other similar warnings created recently by other iRadar users.) Without a data connection, you're not really getting much benefit out of the whole point of linking the iPhone and a radar detector together. …
