Reviews for Cobra iRadar Detection System with iPhone Mount

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.

This product has saved us from multiple speeding tickets by now! We are getting ready to upgrade to the newest version, we still have the 100. The iRadar alerts us to the popo before we can even see them. Around corners or over hills we have plenty of time to decelerate before we even locate law enforcement. There was even one occasion before dawn driving through a speed trap town (where they know my vehicle & have pulled me over twice) where the iRadar alerted me and I never could see where he was hiding! As the another reviewer wrote, when I was pulled over the officer must not have noticed the singular blue light-he didn't mention it or seem to spot it. I like that it's not lit up like a Christmas tree. We don't go anywhere w/o it. The power cord DID go out on us fairly early, but that was a simple and inexpensive purchase at the local Radio Shack.

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.
