![]() ![]() I go through the same route almost every day and I get the same exact false alerts every day without delay. It would be nice if it remembered all the false alerts. Don't let its size fool you!! This thing performs! Definitely would recommend this to friends and family as well as all of you!Ī lot of false alerts. ![]() Im not entirely sure what the difference is between the iRad 900 and the iRad 950 but i think it is mostly to do with the phone aspect of this radar. It is $249.99 on the Cobra Electronics website so i jumped on this thing. Overall: This thing is great for the price you are paying, it competes with the other $350+ radars i have owned. This ever growing community based database has proven itself useful a couple of times as far as threat areas go, its nice to have some awareness in areas that you aren't too familiar as well as just a heads up when you aren't really paying attention and are just cruising. I bought a mount (Koomis CD player mount) that places my phone at eye level and i haven't run into any problems.ĪURA Database: This database is loaded with red light camera locations, speed trap locations, medium & high threat areas and caution areas, all of which are user reported and logged in the system. I have found it makes recognizing hits way easier without taking your eyes off the road trying to look at the very small display of other radars ( YOUR ENTIRE PHONE IS YOUR DISPLAY ). That is why this radar was able to make the aesthetics so minimal. The app provides all of the visuals when picking up X, K, Ka, Ku bands (this thing picks up 6 different lasers also) as well as all AURA database associated alerts. YOU MUST HAVE THE APP TO GAIN THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THIS RADAR. Personally i am using an iPhone so i cannot speak for android users, but the app that is associated with this radar performs extremely well and i haven't noticed any bugs while using the app. ![]() Phone aspect: This radar is able to link to your phone via bluetooth. I've found that it can pick up bands from about 1.5 miles away which is enough time to react to such a hit. ![]() I drive on the highway a lot and this little baby has saved me more times than i can keep track. As far as highway use this thing is AMAZING. Consequently, this function makes this radar particularly useful when driving through the city while you can mute the audio commands where you are getting false hits. Speed traps and VASCAR are most often used within city limits With that said, this radar can connect to an AURA database that has many known areas where these methods are most prevalently used by police. For the most part a radar is useless while driving through city streets, you will not catch a police running speed enforcement in this way. this thing looks nothing like other more noticeable radars, as most of them seem to carry the same shape and appeal.įunctionality: Those who bash this product online for false hits while driving through the city are just unaware on how a radar works. Also as far as something that would stick out in your car. Looks good mounted on both the windshield and the dash. This radar performs better than all of my other radars combined.Īesthetics: As big as a deck of cards, super slim. That being said i have purchased a couple other Cobra products as well as one that my father had given me that was a little.outdated. IRad 950 iRadar ATOM Ultra Compact Smart Detection System by Cobra Electronics Corporation is by far one of the best radars i have ever owned. ![]()
