My current radar detector has worked for 10 years. It is a Cobra. So I decided to replace it when the voice alert started to sound like the speaker is dieing. This was a mistake. The unit makes a loud sound that sounds like an hour of space invaders sped up to play in 2 seconds when you start the engine. It goes back to city mode when you start up. The volume resets when you start up. In short, this is an ANNOYING radar detector. I also noted that it wasn't picking up police officers when used side by side with my old one, and it got many more false alerts. So I returned it. Do your ears a favor and DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT!!

its very good item , and very very very fast delevery , greatest delevery just 19 houres to be at home .

This model gets a lot of hits on things that aren't police cars. I have used it on the highway only. I had to move it below the tinted strip on my windshield because it won't receive through window tint. Oh well - too bad since all you get in the package is a flimsy sunction-mounted bracket that won't hold up the unit whilst going over the slighest of bumps in your car.

It kept quiet when I met at least 10 police cars in the past few days. so disappointed.

If you want to find automatic doors and automatic doors only, please buy this product. I got my radar detector today and decided to give it a test tonight, and well besides finding every store with doors I didn't have to touch, it found itself right on my list of worthless plastic. I took it through some country towns and some interstate and when I saw some speed traps, i didn't even get a blip on the machine. Then, on my return trip, I set my cruise to about 13 over to get myself home, watching the detector and praying for one little flash or beep, but magically the highy patrol lights filled the background of my car, and the radar DETECTOR did not even DETECT the RADAR when it was parked 10 FEET behind me. Do yourself a favor, don't waste your money.
