2 out of 5 stars voice messed up after 1.5 yrs   September 9, 2010
Princess Evelyn
I've had this about 1 and a half years now and the voice has completely messed up. It is so garbled you cannot understand anything it says. Should last longer than 1.5 years if you ask me, its going in the trash.

Purchased 2 of these for my husbands car and mine after our other COBRA's went out. (Automated voice went out on both after 18 months)

After 1 year my husbands COBRA automated voice went out and some of his alerts would not sound. I ended up purchasing another COBRA with no automated voice.

All in all COBRA is a very sound and dependable radar detector. Would recommend to others.

We were able to take this out of he box and use it with minimal reading. Note however - use have to set the parameters - some are off when you boot it up. Seems pretty reliable and not too many false alarms so far.

I've bought the product after reading many reviews and was one of the recommended ones, but it just doesn't work. Calibrating the Compass was an easy thing as if you follow the instructions carefully it will be done in the first go. Mounting on the windshield and taking it off every time when you park in a public garage for safety reasons, it won't just come off the clamp it is provided with, so basically everything you need to remove the whole thing and put it back again is really painful.

Now comes the actual part where it should warn the driver of any radars nearby and also when a laser gun is being pointed at you straight from a distance. It failed both the parts! No beeps for any radar even if the trooper's car is on the side of the highway. No beeps even if the laser gun is pointed straight at your car not even from 50meters.

All it does is giving unwanted false alarms and that's it.

The added feature, where it tells about the approaching emergency vehicle with the transponder on is also of no use and it gives the beep when the vehicle is right next to you.
