Failed first day. Cobra XRS 9955 Voice Alert 15 Band Radar/Laser Detector with 1.5-Inch Full Color Display and Upgradeable Red Light/Speed Features In the past I have had 3 other Cobra Radar Detectors so I was excited to get this one. I installed it in my car in the morning and by noon a bright blue line appeared across the display. The line stays there at all times when the unit is on and wont go away. Before I returned the unit I did some research and about 1/3 to 1/2 of the reviewers of similar Cobra units had screen failures of some kind. I wish I could buy the unit with all of the features without the failing display. Good price for decent performer, but if you can afford it, there are betters. The Cobra XRS-9955 provides very decent K/Ka Detection, definitely notice an improvement from the Cobra 9950 that I owned. During a driving test with my friend, it seemed to performed about the same level (in term of sensibility and number of false reading) as his Beltronics Pro GX65, a detector that costs twice as much as the Cobra. However, we did noticed the XRS-9955 is a bit slow to react and alert to instant-on radar. The Whistler Pro and Valentine One performed noticeably better in this area, but again they cost much more. The Cobra 9955 is a good choice for the money. XRS 9955 So far so good sleak look, very adjustable, plenty of warning time, Hope the screen last longer than the last one Two years screen died.

Great Detector The Beltronics GX65 is the best radar detector that I have ever owned. I have had many over the years including the Valentine V1. Although this is a good detector, the GX65 gives me more warning on the signals that matter as well as not having to worry about listening to it go off for the wrong reason (You tell it what you want to not listen to). The other thing that is great about this detector is the pre-warning it gives when you are approaching a red-light camera. It tells you exactly where these are before it is too late. Very well built, you can immediately tell you are not buying a product that skimps on material. The GX65 also comes with a very well written owners manual that is easy to understand. Recommend very highly!! Great look, Great detection, GPS! I've driven with the GX65 for several months now and it is without a doubt my favorite dectector and I've owned many! The GPS feature allows me to lock out annoying false alerts, plus the built-in database is preloaded with all the red light and speed camera locations popping up everywhere. These annoying camera locations alert in plenty of time to check things out in advance. $29.95 extra for the 3 year update subscription, which I haven't purchased as yet. Once I've marked all the false alerts on my drive to work, the GX65 is quiet and alerts to just true police radar. I've never driven with such a quiet detector. The unit comes with a very nice case and "Smart" power cord that works like a miniture control panel right on the dash. Highly reccommended! Two Sides to This Review First the detector - I recently bought from another retailer (see 'second' point below). It is tremendous. Great functionality, options, design, gives good warning, the GPS tells you your speed when an alert goes off (so you only have to look at the detector to know what you're dealing with and how fast you're going). I primarily bought for the red light camera detection, but it turns out there are none in my area (when I traveled out of state, I found quite a bit), but if you don't have many of the red light cameras in your area, you may want to save a few bucks and get the RX65 (also from Bell). It will save you a couple hundred bucks and (except for the GPS), it's the same detector. Second - I was looking to buy this detector and it was $469 everywhere. About 2-3 months ago, Amazon changed the price to $429 but said they didn't have any in stock so they'd ship later. I put it in my cart. The price then dropped another $5 over the next few days, but I got caught up and didn't finish the order. I went in a few days later and it was over $470. I wrote customer service who told me what the policy was but never answered the question about how something that's not in stock can have a price change almost daily. Anyway, I didn't order it. A few weeks later they moved the price to $425, so I ordered it. A week or two after that, they said that they wouldn't be able to get it and they cancelled my order and took it down off the site for about 2 or 3 weeks. Now I see it's back. It makes me wonder why my order was cancelled a few short weeks ago. If you want my 2 cents, it's selling for the same price on the Beltronics site (also with free shipping). Pick it up there and order a couple of accessories (visor clip, extra suction cups for another car, a USB plug which you'll need to update the database, etc.) You'll get more stuff (that you need anyway) bundled in with your free shipping.

   

Cobra XRS-9630 12-Band Radar/Laser Detector
From Cobra

Cobra 12 Band High Performance Digital Radar/Laser Detector with Digiview, 8 Point Electronic Compass and POP Mode Detection
Amazon Sales Rank: #29483 in Consumer Electronics Color: Black/Silver Brand: Cobra Model: XRS 9630 Dimensions: 1.00" h x 3.00" w x 4.00" l, 1.00 pounds
Whether you commute to work or school on the freeway, drive for a living, or just like to go on an occasional recreational trip, the Cobra XRS-9630 Radar/Laser Detector is an invaluable addition to your motor vehicle. Designed for the convenience of 24-hour use, the XRS-9630 has a bright, easy-to-read DigiView data display that can be dimmed for nighttime driving. Measuring 4.89 x 3.01 x 1.44 inches and weighing just 6.38 ounces, the XRS-9630 can be set just about anywhere within easy view when you're driving, and then stored in your glove compartment when you're parked. The XRS-9630 detects six different radar signals, including the Ku wavelength band that is widely used in Europe and that has been recently approved for use in the United States. In addition, the XRS-9630 is completely invisible to the VG-2 and Spectre radar detector detectors while it alerts you if either the VG-2 or the Spectre is in use in your area. The XRS-9630 is also sensitive to four different laser signals, and with its LaserEye feature giving you a 360-degree detection range, you'll always be able to tell if you're driving through a surveillance area. And perhaps most importantly, for your own safety and the safety of other drivers sharing the road with you, the XRS-9630 detects two emergency alert systems to give you advance warning of road hazards, keeping you prepared when emergency vehicles are nearby. In addition to detecting the Safety alert system, the XRS-9630, like most of Cobra's Radar/Laser detectors, offers Cobra's exclusive feature of detecting the presence of the Strobe alert system, which emergency crews use to control traffic signals. Other features include a power-saving automatic shutdown when you turn your ignition off and an easy-to-program menu. So get the Cobra XRS-9630 Radar/Laser Detector for your car or truck, and you'll be prepared for just about anything when you're behind the wheel. Note: Radar detectors can be used without restriction in well over 40 states, but restrictions apply in a few states. Please check with your state department of motor vehicles or highway patrol if you have questions about whether there are restrictions in your area.

Definitely worth it The only downside to this radar detector is to set the compass. You will need a retail store parking lot (empty) to drive in circles (3 times) to set the compass. After that the radar detector is such a beauty. It will detect all the bands specified in the description, I know it for a fact. It will detect a speed radars about a mile and a half away in any direction. In open highway it will go as far as 2 1/2 miles. This product has definitly saved me from several tickets. Works great on all bands - already saved me a dozen times I highly recommend this unit. For the price you get full 360 detection in all bands. The range is amazing. The best thing about this unit is its detection of KA, KU, bands on the oncoming traffic from staters and county sherrifs. You get one bar of signal and slow down and then it gets stronger for a while before you even see the cop. Absolutely pays for itself in the first week if you have a long commute. also picks up the POP signal from the moto cops and saves you by a good 15 seconds before you even see them. Don't waste your money on the fancier units with advanced displays and voice responses, totally not needed and most sacrifice the laser detection to give you the bells and whistles. This is the maximum functional unit for the money w/o any extra junk that you don't need. 4 out of 5 just because it is a window mount unit, not a under hood unit with extra sensors. Also only had it about a month so the longevity is yet to be tested. Another couple of months and this thing is a 5. 2 years after purchase... This product is simply amazing as long as you are aware. I have had it detect KA band from 2 miles away, from the other side of the hill. It does give a lot of false positive, especially the X, K, and SPECTRE bands. I'd recommend turning X off in general. The false positives are usually things like radar controlled bill boards(like those lotto ad's that show the current jackpot), automatic doors, and some electronic traffic signs will set this off. But if you pay attention, and think about where cops like to hide, you won't ever get pulled over. I went from 5 tickets in 1 year, to none in 2 years now. Definately worth the money!

Whistler SL500 Radar Detector
From Whistler




Good enough... I got it looking for basic radar functions (detection) at an afordable price. I am the kind of person that does not care if it speaks or beeps. The device is good but the mounting system just broke after a couple of months (I had to fix it with some glue). The radar works well.
