5 out of 5 stars Cobra XRS R10G   September 7, 2010
Rachel Byrd (LAUREL, MISSISSIPPI, US)
I love the Cobra XRS R10G. It performs just as described. It was easy to install and is not visibal from outside my car. I love the fact that you don't even have to use the remote if you don't want to. On long trips I use the remote but just around town I place the remote in the glovebox and use the voice alert on the XRS R10G.

I loved my unit so much I purchased one for my mother and she loves hers as well.


5 out of 5 stars Amazing detector   May 4, 2010
Yevgeniy Brykalov (Saint Paul, MN USA)
I used this detector around Twins City on daily basis for a month and not get any false so far. This detecter doing amazing job and you should not pay twice for other brands as here is all what you need. I beleive now that Cobra just discriminated by other "top experts" for market reason. They probably get paid for it... Take Cobra's detector and GPS for same money as Valentine_1 and you will happy twice more!

Well i purchased one of these because it seemed to have all the features i was looking for.
Too bad the units ability does not meet Cobra's ambition. Too bad function is not on par with form.
As the unit is very well thought out, user friendly & flat out cool.
I have been using this for about a month now, & the fact that i have not been ticketed IS a positive point in it's favor, as i recently tricked out my Jetta & now hardly a day goes by that i dont hit 100 + mph. So yeah it DOES WORK.
BUT
As you have no doubt heard it is prone to false signals
It WILL detect & sound off when in close proximity to another radar detector. Yes, you will have to deal with sorting out whats what when it sounds off, yet even though that is problematic.....it is not so much so to discount it's usefulness altogether.
A quick visual scan will access the probability factor of the signals veracity, caution is advised as a mistake could be very costly.
Detection range is sub par when compared to higher end units, yet it will alert within an acceptable radius giving you just enough reaction time. & truthfully....i do not want or need to be alerted to a radar gun going off 2 miles away.....that could be more confusing than close range false signals. So the detection range....although somewhat limited.....seems adequate.
I REALLY like how stealthy the unit is....no ugly coiled "telephone cords" to alert others to my detectors presence.
I REALLY like how i dont have to remember to turn the main unit on....it fires up when you start the car....with a voice informing you that the "system is ready" which reminds you to turn on the RDU [ remote display unit ] Yet even if you were to forget to turn the RDU on....you are still covered as the main unit will sound off anyways....you just wont enjoy the benefit of the signal ID feature.
I think this is Cobra's best effort to date, it is very well thought out & executed & if it were not for the range & false signal issues would be a 5 star unit.I felt it just barely deserves the four star rating as i think the pros outweigh the cons.
So bottom line is....this is the best "economy" unit out there at this moment IMO & will serve you well as long as you drive smart.
Remember
A radar detectors effectiveness is enhanced or eliminated by operator intelligence.
They are not going to offer you a magic blanket of protection from the cops.
Once you "tune into" a detector & realize it capabilities & limitations you work within those parameters & maximize your driving potential.

So, even though this unit is not perfect.. .i can & do give it a good recommendation.





5 out of 5 stars Cobra's Best!   January 17, 2010

Having owned the XRS-R9G, I fell in love with the GPS feature. However, I wanted the R10G with the mini-USB GPS unit. I found there to be a significant difference in appearance and cleanliness of this product on my windshield.

As for actual use, this detector works on all bands, as specified. While driving on 422 in Philly area, it alerted me to all State troopers and various traffic signals. The Camera maps are accurate, as it has specified every intersection in my locale which utilizes a speed trap system.

This detector is the best I would recommend in cleanliness and ease of use. It has kept me and my Pontiac G8 GXP safe from tickets for quite some time.




3 out of 5 stars Falses like no other!   January 17, 2010
Jared R. Mcquade
This detector is fun with all it's gadgets, but for it's main job detecting radar it falses all the time. Even after I turn off instant on detection and and turn it to it's lowest city mode it still will false like no tomorrow. This is typical of cobra radar detectors though. I strongly suggest you save up for a little more and get a good detector instead of falling into cobra's trap of getting you interested with all the other things the detector does. I regret my purchase after researching online how all of cobra's radar detectors are subpar on their main job. Until cobra steps up their game I suggest you stay away. It does typically give you enough detection range to make use of a real threat when it happens, but the detector falses so much it's hard to tell a real from fake threat and you just start ignoring it after a while. If you like a neat remote control gadget that does lots of things buy this, but if you want a reliable radar detector that you can trust every time save a little more money and get a better one.
