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.

Cobra has set a new standard here in terms on installation, placement, reliability, ease of use, and performance. I strongly recommend this product for anyone who has high highway mileage and is looking for a reliable detector. Unit also detects oncoming (either direction) emergency vehicles of all types and can be easily installed in a very inconspicuous way.

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.

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. :)

Great product. However, will not work on 2002 Mercedes Benz S500 due to built-in infrared deflector on front windshield.
