Nice, but far from best,.
(3 out of 5) by Dan Depew on Oct 29, 2007 (Pleasanton, Ca United States)I purchased this a few days ago to go on a long road trip with some other buddies all driving cars, and I would have to say the set up is nice. The only downfall to the system is it seems a little too cheap for 500$. The radar pickup is not as quick as some of the escort models, and it has quite a few false alerts. I would say if your looking to buy one, good choice - you will be happy over all, but wait until it drops in price a bit.

REVIEW of Cobra Electronics 12 Band Radar/laser Detector
(4 out of 5) by Christian R. Abaunza on Aug 5, 2007 (Bay Area, CA USA)Very nice setup, only downfall is that its not as good as a Bel rx65 or STI when it comes to Radar falsing and sensitivity. But it makes up for it with its GPS Photo enforcement feature. It would be nice if the alarm tones could be changed around. Like all the reviews on the internet say, "its got Potential", but still needs some attention to detail to make this a premium detector like the Bel rx65, STI, or Valentine products.

CAUGHT ALL RED LIGHT CAMERAS AND VIDEO CAMERAS
(5 out of 5) by Serge on Sep 21, 2008 (staten island, NY)This unit performed as advertised. Has minimal false alarms as I drive through the city, and has not failed to give reminder 3 warnings as I approached the red light zones.
As far as a radar detector, NY has so much traffic, potholes, and red lights that its hard to speed even if you tried. :)

Cobra XRS R9G
(4 out of 5) by Michael A. Flores on Sep 25, 2009 (Houston Texas)Detector is as good as pretty much any other unit I've had in the past (Cobras, Whistlers). GPS feature is cool...Picked up red light cameras I had no idea about and every one that I did. Installation and usage is pretty straight forward.
Only downside for me is the battery life. To use the remote at full-display always on, the charge time is about equal to usage time...(8 hours to charge via USB and works in vehicle about the same 8 hours). If this mode is how you prefer to use it (and I do), plan on keeping the car charger (along with the dangling cord) close by.
All in all, I'm keeping it.

Nice Radar Detector
(4 out of 5) by A. Alzoubi on Oct 1, 2008 (TX, USA)This is the second Cobra Radar detector I've owned, and so far no complains.
Pros: Sleek design, voice instructions, wireless remote controller, easy to install.
Cons: Battery of controller dies fast, keeps beeping on signals even after you disable them.
