Summary: Excellent Product
Comment: I received my product in a timely manner as promised. It was still in it's original package and works perfectly. I will definitely buy from this seller again!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Pretty Design, Pretty poor performance
Comment: This has to be one of the most attractive electronic items I have seen in a long time. Unfortunately, this "Chrome won't get you home" without a ticket.
The description of this item is technically correct but very misleading. While it is a 12-band device here's the meaning behind those 12 bands:
Radar signals include
X Band - very short range detection capability
K Band - very short range detection capability
Ka Superwide - very short range detection capability
Ku Band - used in Europe - no value in North America
VG-2 alert - detectible to currently used VG-2 - undetectible only to unused VG-2 radar detector detectors
Spectre-1 detectible to currently used Spectre 2, 3, and 4. - undetectible only to unused Spectre 1 radar detector detectors
Laser signals include
LTI 20-20 - short range detection, if detects laser, you have already been clocked
Ultra Lyte - short range detection, if detects laser, you have already been clocked
ProLaser - short range detection, if detects laser, you have already been clocked
ProLaser III - short range detection, if detects laser, you have already been clocked
Safety signals include
Safety Alert® - not yet widely implemented - not a frequency used directly for speed enforcement
Strobe Alert® - not yet widely implemented - not a frequency used directly for speed enforcement
So you get
- a few short-range radar detection frequencies,
- a few laser detection frequencies (most of the time all too short range to protect you)
- a couple radar detector detector frequencies that detect obsolete and widely abandoned radar detector detectors, meaning where radar detectors are illegal this unit is not doing anything but broadcast that you have a radar detector...
- a couple unimplemented safety warning frequencies
Additionally, these units are notorious for giving off interference of their own which can be detected by other radar detectors!
The design is pretty but because of the light color and chrome parts, reflects off the dash. The internal speaker is not loud enough to hear over music or in a noisy environment. The power cord and mounting options make it very conspicuous. The brackets are not known for their durability.
Overall this unit gives a false sense of security, is detectible in states where they're illegal, and has a marginal form factor.
Do your own research before buying units like this - you don't get much more than a pretty package that makes a lot of noise when it shouldn't and not enough noise when it should.

Summary: Pretty Decent
Comment: I purchased this product from Target, this product works great I drive a Nissan Versa and it took a while to aim it properly so it gets 360° that Cobra promised. It does pick up some false alarms almost always X band so since its programable and X band is illegal to use in all states except NJ I turned it off highly recommend doing that.
Over all it picks up almost all cop cars with radar guns and the voice alert works great and some stuff like the laser alert gets your attention, the safety signal has been more than effective at least in Minnesota.
The range is my only complaint other wise it's a great product.
