shows speed traps, red light cameras, etc and logs everytime it picks up any of those.

Do they make an Android version?

powerstrokin15 · Oct 20, 2011

I have no idea. I don't think so. seeing that it's "iRadar". you could look on their site

yeah it will work with android...

It will also work with your Itouch and Ipad

powerstrokin15 · Oct 20, 2011

yea I knew it worked with apple crap. that's cool it'll work with android too. I really like it so far

patrickke · Oct 20, 2011

I just wonder how well it would work compared to my bell or escort

powerstrokin15 · Oct 20, 2011

idk.. I would imagine those would be better. price comparison wise at a least they would be better quality. I was a little iffy being bluetooth. but it's actually all on the radar. you just have settings, and a map on the phone app

Cobra on any radar detector forum is also known as "paper weights"... in fact most guys would be irritated to know you were running a cobra as it will typically set off false alerts on a high end detector, though most experienced users can pick up the different bands of alert.

You truly get what you pay for in the detector world.

That said, that does look pretty sweet, but I can't help but wonder how well it works. You can always try valentine-1's 30 day free trial and run them side by side and see which does what.

it's like anything else. I wasn't willing to pay a ton and I'm not expecting it to be the best. if it saves me once I'll be happy with it. an I love the fact it's Bluetooth with my iPhone. just cause

I rock a Escort 8500 and it's been great to me so far! I was a little uneasy about the cobra, so i went escort!

I gave away an 8500 I was so disappointed with it. My buddy still uses it to this day in his VW GTI. He seems to like it, but I don't think he's had anything to compare it to.

Mines been great so far, done me well. Would love to have the 9500 but wasn't willing to pay the 400$ for it!

powerstrokin15 · Oct 23, 2011

Any specific one you'd recommend? I'm leaning towards a Valentine One, but have never had anything better than a cobra before. And the V1 seems like a lot of $$$$

My escort qi45 saves me daily. Now I'd never drive without one.

the valentine has saved me a lot of times in the past but looking for a new one since sold it with my old ride. wanna get another valentine but if this id just as good might have to look into it
